A life coach acts like a business consultant who is hired to look at a business from the outside in to determine weak points and areas for improvement. She views your life from an objective perspective. She also holds nothing back with regard to telling you the reality of what you want to fix and change. Karla Carbo is well-trained and can look at the patterns of your lifestyle or particular issues and determine weaknesses. If you hire her, you're committing yourself to change. For a lot of people, this can be intimidating and scary. If you want to make the step of becoming powerful by overcoming existing obstacles as well as negative patterns, hiring a life coach is indeed a powerful edge.
