It takes Derby Anderson 43 minutes and 59 seconds to get from her car to the hotel room where the Secretary General of the United Nations is waiting for a life-coaching session. But Derby needs to get her own life sorted out in those 43 minutes or she won't be of any help to anyone.

In a real-time journey which weaves in and around the lives of Derby and the security aide, Jack, who accompanies her, listeners get to learn more intimately about their lives the closer they get to the door of the hotel suite.

Lifecoach is a play in John Dryden's occasional series, Forty-Three Fifty-Nine, which follows one person's perspective in what plays out as one continuous take.
