Coaching requires special skills and expertise.   I have been formally trained in coaching programs of CTI (The Coaches Training Institute).   I also come with years of life experience in roles and life situations similar to those of my clients.   I am a well-trained coach and can coach on any topic.  Coaching is not about providing answers-but is about asking questions and understanding what is happening with the client. This expertise comes from a coach's training, not from the coach having, "been there and done that."
