In athletics it is often said a coach is the person who takes you where you can’t take yourself. It is the same with life coaching.  While no one knows who you are and what you want better than you do, often the pace of life or unexpected events push that inner voice so deep into the background, that you lose touch with the balanced and fulfilling life you are looking for. Coaching creates a place and a structure to help you get in touch with those thoughts, feelings, ideas, goals and dreams. It will also help you identify and remove any blocks in your way and move forward where two options or areas appear to directly conflict. A coaching relationship creates a space that is focused on you as we work together to design the life you really want.

The coaching relationship is always driven by what you want.  This is done by completing a discovery session and then working through your identified areas of need toward goals that you set for yourself.  Not sure what those areas are?  Going through the discovery session or possibly a fuller self-discovery process will help you gain clarity and set your direction.  We will then move toward the goals through coaching conversation, use of tools, strategies such as the 7-step Model for Change™ and use of supportive information you may already have through completion of tests such as Strengths Finder, Spiritual Gifts Inventory, Myers-Briggs, or the Enneagram (my personal favorite).

Coaching takes place over the phone or via Zoom meetings if you prefer face to face.  This allows you to participate in your coaching at times and places that are convenient for you. All I ask is that you carve out the time when you can be distraction free and focused on yourself.
