FAQ

Q: What is Path Partners?

A: Path Partners is a membership community for men and women who desire a fresh start. Many
times people reach a point in their jobs, health, or relationships that causes them to ask, “Is this
all there is?” Disillusionment can also be caused by the loss of a job, death of someone close, or
a child going off to college. You start questioning everything in your life and nothing seems to
bring fulfillment. If you feel stuck in your current situation and sense it’s time for some changes,
life coaching can help put you on a clear path.

Q: What is life coaching and why would I benefit from it?

A: Life coaching is simply a partnership between two people based on honesty, respect,
encouragement, and accountability. If you’re at a crossroads, tired of making the same
detrimental choices – or simply want to experience more happiness, clarity, and a deeper sense
of purpose – life coaching can help you create the change you are looking for. Working with a
life coach is empowering because their role is to listen and ask ‘guided’ questions that help you
discover where you want to be in life. Through a series of action-steps, a life coach guides you in
overcoming your fears and achieving a more balanced life that reflects your personal values and
priorities.

Q: What is the difference between a life coach and a therapist?

A: Life coaching is for people that are mentally healthy, highly functional, and capable of
achieving their goals. Coaching is not appropriate for clients who suffer severe depression,
anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, or unresolved issues requiring a therapist to help them
analyze the past for causes of emotional pain and unhealthy behavior patterns. Coaching clients
are typically goal-oriented people that are in need of guidance, motivation, and accountability.
They are looking forward to where they want to be, not back to where they’ve been. Unlike
therapists who ask, “Why?” coaches ask, “What’s next?” Life coaching is focused on future
goals, overcoming obstacles, and figuring out what to do next.

Q: What makes Path Partners different from other coaching websites?

A: Unlike the majority of coaching websites that offer only individual coaching (which can be
expensive), Path Partners offers affordable alternatives. When you become a member of Path
Partners, you are given access to a ten module training course called New Beginnings that takes
you through many of the discovery type questions that you would normally do one-on-one with a
coach. This allows you to be self-guided in your discovery process so that you can then begin to
take immediate action toward creating the life you desire.

In addition to this core training program, Path Partners provides a community forum where you
can share ideas and receive support from others on a similar journey of growth and change. And
for our elite level members, Path Partners offers a variety of group coaching classes in the areas
of Life Balance, Money & Career, Relationships, Health & Wellness, and Spiritual Growth. We
also offer a wealth of other tools and resources to help you create a fresh start in life.

Q: Does Path Partners offer individual coaching?

A: Absolutely! If you wish to inquire about rates for pivate coaching, please submit a ticket
at the Help Desk and someone will be in touch with you. We have special rates for clients who
wish to buy a package of sessions.

Q: Do I have to be a member of Path Partners to get individual coaching?

A: We obviously recommend that you be a member, but it’s not required to work with a life
coach. However, we do offer discounted rates for our Trail Blazer and Navigator members.

Q: What are Knowledge Seekers, Trail Blazers, and Navigators?

A: At Path Partners, we recognize that not everyone’s needs are the same and, therefore, we have
designed three different membership levels:

Knowledge Seekers are members who have purchased one of our books or who are just
curious and want to check out what Path Partners can do for them. As a Knowledge
Seeker, you have a trial access to the New Beginnings core training program, as well as
our Monday Morning Musings. You also have access to ‘My Library’ where you can go
back and download your books at any time and check out our Ask the Coach feature and
blog posts.

Trail Blazers are members that want full access to the New Beginnings core training
program, our Monday Morning Musings, and our Community Forum. As a Trail Blazer,
you can read and interact with other members and you also have access to additional
articles and recordings not available at the free level.

Navigators are members that want to take it a step further and participate in our group
coaching classes. We offer variety of classes each week in the areas of Life Balance,
Money & Career, Relationships, Health & Wellness, and Spiritual Growth. You can
experience the benefits of coaching at a fraction of the cost of private coaching and find
an accountability partner in our Community Forum. As a Navigator, you experience
all the membership benefits of a Trail Blazer along with the added benefit of the group
coaching classes!
