Diane Keeps Moving – Goal Setting

written by Coach Meg

At the beginning of the year I asked coaches in the Wellcoaches community to submit a list of ten ways in which they want to thrive in 2009. Diane is dealing with some challenging health issues and asked me for a series of coaching sessions to work on her health and life satisfaction. After our second session, Diane sent the following response:

Coach Meg,

Yesterday’s coaching session was great for me! Putting my three-month and weekly goals in writing is striking; I think these goals are challenging enough for the next 3-4 wks! Here is what I am eager to begin working toward:
