life."

Final presentation and bringing a coach*:
In the last class you will:
1. Give an oral 10 minute presentation to the class and your coach
2. Hand out an executive summary of your final paper to each member of the class.
3. As part of the paper you are requested to present a written
action plan which states your commitments about how you will live your philosophy during the next month. Indicate what changes you will make in your behavior to make sure you are living your life philosophy
4. You will bring a coach to hear your commitments.
* This coach should be a supporter of yours and someone who has made the commitment to see you accomplish your goals and will check with you
frequently. Your coach is not to pass judgement but is to hold you accountable
for doing the things you say you want to do. Your coach inquires with loving
care to help you find the truth of your actions.
