Tamara said in the interview:

Chapter five of our book, "Your Career Revolution," talks about coaching in particular; when I think about a lot of the people who we work with, they don't even necessarily know that they're looking for coaching, but they're seeking for something, they keep on feeling that good, there has to be a better way. We call them seekers.   They need to find out what they're looking for. But when we engage with them with the power of coaching, it just manifests itself. We are creating a safe space where they can start dreaming about what's possible again. And it's fantastic to watch because people have all these limiting beliefs. I cannot dare to dream because that's not realistic for me. Heather, you're the one who says coaching helps somebody find the genius within, and it seems counterintuitive because people think they should be looking for the answers outside of themselves. If I knew the answers, my life would be different. And yet, with coaching, they realize that the answer is within themselves. And they can start creating a vision or a NorthStar for what that needs to be.  That is one example of the power of coaching. In the book, we talk about celebrities having a coach. So even if the most successful people on the planet refer to a coach or use the help of a coach, why wouldn't the average person do that?
