"Put your life in "drive" and conquer the mountain of complacency. It is only then that you will find the bright spot in your life"
Benefits of Coaching
A more fulfilled life
Determine/understand your life purpose
Discover your values: Are you honoring them or are you stomping on them?
Greater balance between life's necessities (job, family, self, spirituality)
Gain clarity on what it is you wants/need in you
Learning the art of designing your life instead of letting it design you
A safe space to explore new opportunities
Who are you when you are at your full potential? An excellent student, an amazing mom or a well respected boss? What if there could be more to life than this? What if I told you that you could change the world? Would you believe it? If you answered no, then you are missing out on a rich life. Those who experience coaching get to explore and define their values, "try on" new perspectives and achieve their goals AND attain goals they never thought were possible.
The most common phrases heard are..."I cannot wait to retire so I can start doing the things I love to do" and "this dead-end job is sucking the life out of me". I say, what are you waiting for - do something about it! Coaching will show you how you can do those things now, before you are too old to do them and show you that when honoring your values, you'll find a job you love.
It's time to get honest and decide what you want in life and to be honest with where you are at. This Fulfillment Test will help you get started. On a separate sheet of paper rank yourself on your level of fulfillment in the following areas. What did you notice? Did you mark anything other than complete fulfillment? If you marked anything in the "complete fulfillment" category - what is that like to be in complete fulfillment? Have you ever told anybody what it is like? The chart below is a tool used to help unlock the areas where we are held back. This is just one of the many great tools we will use in coaching.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Coaching and is it right for me?
Life Coaching is used to help people discover where they are...and to help people navigate to where they want to be. Coaching is beneficial for anyone wanting to change careers, handle life transitions (such as becoming an empty nester), and for personal development and growth. Coaching is not limited to just this...it is right for anyone who has any type of change in their lives.
What is the coaching structure and how does it work?
All new clients participate in a one-time "Discovery Session" which will design how the coaching will take place. Items discussed in this session include stating a personal commitment to explore who they are, discussing how our time will be spent and how clients prefer I "show up" for the call. After the discovery session clients will "meet" (over the phone) with me twice per month for thirty minutes each session. Note: Some clients prefer to meet more often and that can be designed into our Discovery Session.
During our sessions we will have a series of conversationsthat will explore values, discover stregths and open up new possibilities. As your coach, I have several tools and thought provoking exercises to do this.
Do I have to have all the answers?
Absolutely not. That would be exhausting. Clients are free to discover new possibilities and uncover the unknown....AND...there will be times when we leave the call with assignments to gain clarity around the coaching session.
