Father, Husband, Business Owner-
Do You Have to Choose?
Ben is stressed, overwhelmed and lost. His marriage is on the rocks. His once-prosperous business is failing despite the endless hours he puts into it. Worst of all, his two-year-old son Freddy is growing up without his dad. If Ben doesn't change things fast, everything he cares about will vanish in a puff of smoke.
Enter Peter, a business and life coach to whom Ben reaches out in a moment of desperation. Can Peter's coaching magically transform Ben's life and save him from himself? Well, as it turns out . . . not exactly. That's up to Ben. But with Peter's guidance, Ben discovers the freedom to be himself, to become the creator of his own life, and to connect with his family before it's too late.
As the ripple effects of Ben's transformation touch the lives of his loved ones and colleagues, we see with poignancy, humour and clarity how coaching changes lives and brings us back to who we really are.
