Ian White, Life Fulfillment Coach President of Coaching Deconstructed Inc.
I am a Life Fulfillment Coach and I help people to make the shifts necessary to lead more satisfying and fulfilling lives. I chose this line of work after spending 14 years in a career that was based on limiting beliefs, safety, security and my education. And it wasn’t until I quit that job to pursue my passion for coaching that I found a satisfying and fulfilling way to live. Coaching is in my blood and is the life force behind all that I do. One of the reasons I love coaching is because it trusts that we all have the answers inside of ourselves, no matter how big the problem. This is why I am so excited to be teaching coaching practices that serve everyday people in helping others to find their own answers, all while improving their conversation and leadership skills.
