About the Author

Following a tenure in the US Army as a special operations soldier, Aaron P. Bryant has committed to learning and understanding why he had difficulty understanding his inability to be a good husband, father, friend, and co-worker. His exterior self would provide enough camouflage to get himself to a certain point in his life. Still, the odds were against him, and the challenges to protect himself from others were increasingly getting harder. Dr. Bryant's journey of self-discovery led him to review all his counseling sessions and embark on a coaching program to learn daily motivation and encouragement techniques. His commitment to personal growth and understanding is a testament to his resilience and determination. Driven by a deep-seated desire to help others, Dr. Bryant became a certified Life Coach, focusing on assisting soldiers and veterans facing similar obstacles. In a twist of fate, his journey of helping others also became a journey of self-discovery, fueling his hunger to understand and support others even more. Years of interpersonal data, additional training and degrees, and thousands of hours of research have led Dr. Bryant to dissect the current coaching practices and opened a new generation of awareness and empowerment similar to the teachings of Dr. Carl R. Rogers, PsyD. This book aims to illuminate the current state of life coaching. We hope you will identify the gaps and the need for an independent platform. Doing so will empower you to realize that you can achieve more if you know where to look. This book presents the induction of the MASTERY IN LIFE MODEL.
