Remember your New Year’s
resolution to exercise and get fit? By March did you wonder how you got
off track?
|
|
? |
Did you ever have a vision for an
exciting career or your own business? You could see exactly how you
wanted it to be but could not see the steps to get there.
|
|
? |
Have you ever felt stressed
out from balancing your career, home and special projects and wondered,
“How could I make this more manageable?”
|
|

Maybe you’ve asked
yourself "what do I really want in my life?" Your little voice asks, "Could there be
more for me?"

Why Hire a Coach?
- If you feel stuck or off track.
- Because your life is in transition.
- When you are seeking solutions.
- If you want to change life patterns.
- To have objective feedback & support.
- Hire a life coach if you want more out of
life.
What is Coaching?
- Coaching is a
collaborative process that allows individuals & organizations to realize
their full potential.
- Coaches are sounding
boards, support systems, mentors & consultants all rolled into one.
- Coaching provides the
structure, tools, feedback & support for people to accomplish more than
they would on their own.
- The purpose of
coaching is helping the client get more of what they want out of life.
Types of Coaching
- Covers all aspects of
life: work life, personal life, relationships, health & spiritual life.
Coaching can be a blend of business, finance, psychology, philosophy,
transformation & spirituality.
- Specifically: Career
Coaching, Business Coaching, Executive Coaching, Financial Coaching,
Health Coaching, Spiritual Coaching, and Life Coaching, including all
different personal aspects of life.
The Difference Between Therapy &
Coaching
- You can be successful
and healthy and not have a problem and work with a Coach.
- Coaching does not
focus on the past, it focuses mostly on your present and future.
- Coaching works with
“how” and not “why”.
- In coaching we may
give more information, directions or instructions. Coaches are resources.
- We may share more from
personal experience.
- Coaching has been
called a new form of consulting and the coaching relationship is a
partnership.
How It Works
- During a free half hour consultation you
will have a mini-coaching session and learn more about coaching and each
other.
- Meetings take place on
the phone or in person.
- Together you will
explore and identify what you want and determine your goals.
- Your coach will always
customize the approach based on your needs and will elicit strategies
and solutions from you, for you.
- Your coach proposes
action plans and suggests resources specifically designed for you.
- Your coach listens and
gives objective feedback.
- Using different
techniques your coach will help you change behaviors or habits you want to
leave behind.
- Through weekly or
periodic meetings you will work together and receive ongoing feedback and
support from your coach.
- Charges may be by the
month or by the hour
