Ahh, nothing like a nice hike in the great outdoors on a beautiful day!  The trail map makes it clear: that little blue line starts here, goes there, and finally ends up at your desired destination with a spectacular view.

It’s one thing to see the way you want to go; it’s quite another thing to actually get going, especially if the pathway is difficult.  The map doesn’t always tell you what you’ll face, and the obstacles you’ll need to overcome, as you follow the trail.  If you’ve ever tried to stop smoking, lose 10 pounds or “find a better job,” you know what I mean: it’s pretty clear what you need to do (e.g., eat less and exercise more), but doing it consistently is where things tend to break down.

Traction has to do with getting going, and then keeping going when the trail gets challenging.  You need clarity to see clearly where you want to go, but without traction, you never move from where you are.  Coaching is designed to help you gain the clarity you need about what matters most to you in this season of your life, and the traction you need to move according to what matters most.
