In today’s pressured world, many people are finding themselves stressed out
and with more problems than they can handle. For some drugs and alcohol
are being depended on to relieve the stress. A better solution which many
people are now turning to is Life Coaching. Where it was once the in thing
to have a therapist, many successful professionals and celebrities are
turning to life coaches with phenomenal results.
The Coach considers that their clients are creative, resourceful, and whole
at all times. Coaching is therefore not therapy or counseling. Coaching is
done over the telephone, usually 30-minute to 1 hour calls once a week, but
this will vary based on the client’s needs.
We offer a free counselling session to anyone who would like to see if Life
Coaching can help them handle issues in their lives. Call to arrange a
free session.

Leaders in public, corporate and civic organizations are those who
can communicate effectively. Effective Communication includes speaking
formally and informally, thinking and speaking on your feet, listening
effectively, giving constructive feedback and much more.

Toastmasters can help you gain the confidence and practice you need to
advance your career (and other goals) in a mutually supportive environment.
Communication requires preparation, planning, execution, practice and
delivery. The Toastmasters system helps individuals like you and me with
goal-setting, execution and support.

* So, we encourage you to act today. Why not visit our club today?

** There are a number of Toastmasters Clubs in the area, but we would love
to see you at Club 6992 right here in Aliso Viejo.

Overcoming culture shock, language barriers, and loss of two parents,
Soliman Wahab earned a bachelor's degree in computer information systems
with an option in information technology on Sat., June 13. He and his
family emigrated to the U.S. from Afghanistan 10 years ago to pursue their
American dream. He lost his father to a heart attack soon after arriving to
Los Angeles, and his mother died of cancer three days later. Focusing on a
better future, he worked to help support his sister through college, and
now he is finally realizing his own college aspirations. A Dean’s List
student, Wahab honored his parents when he marched at the Cal State L.A.
Commencement. This fall, he will attend Cal State L.A.’s MBA Program. Wahab
was president of the Association of Information Management, an on-campus
organization empowering members to solve real-world problems for local
businesses and gain real-world experience. He currently resides in Laguna
Niguel with his sister, Yasmine.
