Change can be tricky to navigate and sticking with it can be downright hard.
I'll help you dig into choices, break through self-limitation and provide you with tools to make and sustain meaningful change.
Change happens...
Life is full of twists and turns. Change is a reality that many of us battle, avoid and push against. Yet - these moments, while bringing some chaos also have the power to unlock amazing growth, joy and grace. Are you in the midst of a life pivot and struggling with uncertainty surrounding your:
Career
Relationship
Health
Life stage
Or are you feeling like you are missing something or simply feel like you need a change?
Diving into your circumstances in a meaningful way will result in a deep peace through discovering and exploring your choices. This life is about learning, identifying and working through our patterns and self-constraints. Now is the time for you to embrace change with serenity and clarity to create and live your best life.
What is Life Coaching?
When I started this journey, I believed that I had to have all of the answers first, so I was really digging into all of my shadows and patterns. While I still do this as part of my own daily practice, I was relieved during my training to understand that it is not about having the answers, because that is simply not possible. My answers would be based on my experience and life choices, and, not about that of the person I'm coaching. Each of us is completely unique, and our own answers are available within, the trick is to learn how to unlock this knowing.
There are a lot of definitions out there. Here are a few that resonated for me...
"A life coach is a type of wellness professional who helps people make progress in their lives in order to attain greater fulfillment." VeryWellMinded.com
"Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential." International Coaching Federation (ICF)
"Life coaches work with functioning individuals who are looking to create a pathway to reaching set goals. Whether it is work, personal or family, coaches act as unbiased thinking partners and hold their clients accountable by typically having weekly or bi-weekly one-hour sessions." CNBC
"A person who counsels and encourages clients on matters having to do with careers or personal challenges." Oxford Dictionary
I've highlighted the words that ring true for me in each of the descriptions above. To me the common themes are
Partnering - Creating - Accountability - Fulfillment but I'm still working on my own definition :)
How will Life Coaching Help you?
Life is busy. Can you remember the last time you were truly listened to? When someone sat and was truly present with you? I am by no means suggesting your partners, friends, family is not there for you. They are, and they are also going through their own stuff. It is hard for any one of us to be truly present for another. To listen without interrupting or thinking about what they will say as soon as it is their turn to talk. The main responsibility for a life coach is to be present, to hold a space for another and to ask real questions to help their client work through their thoughts and feelings without judgement. And, a good life coach provides the tools needed for their client to achieve their goals on their own. Life coaching can be ongoing, but it shouldn't need to be.
Life coaching will empower you to
Uncover your vision
Understand your choices
Identify self-limiting beliefs
Overcome fear
Develop tools to make and sustain meaningful change
My promise
I'm so excited to join you on your own journey of self-discovery and growth. I'd be honoured to work with you.
As your coach, my promise is to:
Empower you to be your best you
Draw out your own self-knowing and power
Not give advice based on my own life experience
Provide you with the tools you need to make and sustain change
So, are you ready to get started?
As a business executive, mother and personal growth enthusiast, I've always been someone that people confide in and come to for support.
I'm downright passionate about helping people, and I'm translating my 20 plus years of mentoring, managing and supporting those around me in a corporate setting, to focusing my time and talent into life coaching. So many of us are going though deep unease with the changing times, and are asking ourselves what next?
Building on my strong foundations, my own hard work/reflection and my certifications, I'm diving in!
I'd be honoured to work with you to untap and unleash your full potential.
