we are trying to achieve.”

Coaching is About Defining, Discovering Obstacles and Personal Challenges
Coaching is about defining and discovering obstacles or challenges in your
personal and/or professional life. Once these obstacles and challenges are
brought to light, the establishment of clear and obtainable goals will make
it possible for you to achieve and maintain the life you envision. Coaching
is an interactive process that can help you improve specific
skills or teach you new ones, identify and set goals, manage your time more
productivity, and improve over all functioning in multiple aspects of your
life. The coaching process is grounded in overall personal growth and enrichment
in all aspects of life. It facilitates a mentally healthy, stable, and motivated
individual or family in attaining a more enriching and gratifying life.
When Should I Hire a Personal Coach?
People hire a coach when they are reevaluating choices they have made in their
life, making a career transition, struggling with the demands of life, or wanting
to improve their relationships with family, friends, or co-workers. Occasionally,
they simply are feeling ready for a personal or professional breakthrough or
drastic change. People who seek out the assistance of a coach are motivated
to make a change in their personal and/or professional life. They come from
various backgrounds and for various reasons.
Hiring a Coach could be the single best investment you
make in your life!
What is the Job of a Personal Coach?
As a coach, I will ask questions of you which you might never ask yourself.
This enables you to map out your vision of the future and to implement those
necessary changes. The relationship between a coach and client is one of
collaboration, teamwork, and cohesion. I will become much like the most honest
and supportive friend you have ever known. A friend whose sole purpose it
is to motivate, support, and assist you. I will also guide and direct you
until you reach your goals and ultimately begin living a more fulfilling
life.
I will not delve into your past pains or any trauma you may have experienced.
We will not explore any suffering you may have endured as a child. Our relationship
will be built on the basis of what you can do today to enrich
your life tomorrow. I will only explore what is holding you back in the here-and-now.
Together we will work to uncover challenges, develop objectives, establish
goals, and implement newly learned skills.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for my clients. Asking for help from
anyone is never easy. My education and training have provided me with some
of the most valuable skills a person can acquire. I teach my clients these
same skills and techniques so that they will be empowered with the strength
and know-how to make positive changes in their lives. As your coach I will
not make your decisions for you, and I will not tell you what is best for you.
What I will do is provide a supportive environment in which you can learn how
to make better decisions for yourself and discover what is best for you.
A coach is objective, and brings a new perspective to light. A coach
can help you create new possibilities and extinguish old self-defeating habits. A coach can
help you find more balance and meaning in your life.

Please note: Coaching of any type is not psychotherapy or a substitute for the treatment of any mental illness.
