What is Coaching?
Can you remember a time when someone really listened to what you were saying? They listened with compassion, acceptance, and understanding. They listened so deeply that you knew they heard you. They listened in a way that you felt acknowledged and affirmed. Their willingness to listen in this way gave you insight into yourself that otherwise eluded you.
We all know there are professional sports coaches to support the athletes and acting coaches to support the actors in doing their best. Life Coaches help individuals do and be their best in all areas of their life. As your coach I will listen with compassion and understanding. I will observe and ask questions to assist you in finding clarity as you discover the answers within you.
You will become more conscious of who you want to be in each moment. You will discover and appreciate your unique qualities, your strengths, talents, skills, and experience. I will teach you how to transform your limiting and negative language, thinking, and beliefs in order to make choices that align with what you value most.
Coaching helps you recognize that every time you are faced with a challenge - an illness, a difficult relationship, a stressful job, a change or transition, a compulsive behavior – that you can choose to respond rather than react so you can gather the gifts of learning that these challenges hold for your growth. Your challenges aren’t an indication that something is wrong; they are doorways into the joy of being fully alive in each moment. Your challenges can support you in unlocking your vision, recognizing what you want, and then taking action.
I know that you probably feel that you’ve done “everything” possible to improve the areas of your life that you are struggling with. Yet everything you’ve tried hasn’t worked. When clients work with me, they rediscover a deep trust in themselves, and learn new relationship and communication skills and strategies to achieve their goals. If you are committed to learning how to take care of your needs and succeed then my program is for you.
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
– Oliver Wendell Holmes
Coaching is not psychotherapy. Psychotherapy addresses the healing of medical conditions, which can be both psychological and/or physical in nature. Coaching is focused on supporting clients in recognizing the blocks that are preventing them from moving forward. Coaching then assists clients in their courage and commitment to recognize and to replace those blocks with positive strategy and tools, and then take action to live a life of freedom and joy.
