On the show Bobette shares how and why professional coaching can be of considerable value to baby boomers; how the word "pause" and its practice is significant; why it's important to know who you really are; why playing and having fun, especially when in a life transition, is key and; the need for both a coach and 'coachee' to have chemistry or a "fit" for the partnership to be productive.

She addresses continuous learning; having a positive impact and 'giving back'; how coaching helps to create new awareness and; the ICF's role in training, credentialing and supporting the coaching profession ( www.coachfederation.org ).
