What is life coaching all about?

Coaching is a defining, energy-creating and motivating process that supports change and growth. It is a process where we engage in conversations to clarify what you want and specify action steps to achieve your goals. Coaching is a powerful process, generating ideas and energy far greater than anything our individual efforts could create. Because you are the expert on your own life, coaching is always centered around your desires and supportive of your efforts. As your life coach, I am the expert on the coaching process and will serve as your guide as you define and work toward your goals.

Why would someone need life coaching?

As human beings living in an ever-changing world, we are designed to evolve and grow in response to changes around us. Just the process of moving through life demands that we grow through developing new skills and mindsets. Sometimes we are presented with new opportunities and have a deep desire to make the most of them. At other times, we may reach a point when we need to re-examine our lives and the path we are on. Choices that worked for us years ago may no longer fit. Though many of us sense when it's time for a change, we might feel stuck as to how we should respond. Even when we know what we want, sometimes we don’t know how to get started or have the energy to get going.

What are the benefits of life coaching?

Coaching helps people get clear on a vision for their life, get specific on their life mission and purpose, develop a plan of action, overcome obstacles and accomplish their goals. Coaching is a great resource for people who find themselves simply going through the motions and yearning for more balance, purpose, meaning and effectiveness in their life and work. For those in mid-life, coaching can help people wondering if this is the best it's going to get and dreamers asking why they haven't yet pursued their dreams. For those who are ready to move forward, coaching provides the energy and encouragement to take action and finally achieve their goals.
