Coaching Programs

I coach in three main areas: Career, Health & Wellness and Life.  See also specific programs below.  All programs are designed with a particular focus and direction, but you decide your destination.  Together we'll map the course to get you out of the doldrums.  

Focus Areas

Career Coaching
You are invaluable in the world and in the workplace because no-one else is exactly like you.  And being who you are at work is one way to be the best you can be.

You may be a graduate wondering what to do next.  You may be a VP wondering why you still get on planes on Sunday afternoons.  You may simply yearn for the good old days when you weren't married to your mobile phone - some work-life balance has become long overdue. 

Taking time now to look at your unique strengths, how you uniquely add value in the workplace - and how you want work to add more value to your life - is invaluable.  Sometimes it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it; sometimes it's both.  Either way, work will always be an expression of who you are, so you should enjoy going to work each day - whatever you do.  

You deserve work you love - yes love - that brings a smile to your face and that meets your needs.  We will focus on discovering what that means for you. 


Health & Wellness
Wellness Coaching is about your Well Life, which includes far more than a diet and exercise plan.     

Wellness Coaching helps you define your wellness goals and create a plan that fits into your life.  A Well Life Vision is the place to begin: When you think of your life like a movie still, how do you see it? Are you enjoying walks with your grandchildren, hiking with your partner, or simply enjoying the way your suit looks today?  We'll work together to help you develop and create your vision.

Heath Coaching focuses on specific health challenges (e.g. stopping smoking).  As your Health Coach, I will coordinate with your professional health care team to help you reach the goals they have set for you.  Whether you need to focus on diet and exercise changes for preventive or recovery purposes, having a Health & Wellness Coach can increase success rates.   Your health is your foundation for a Well Life.  Why wait to feel you are on solid ground?
Life Coaching
If you are one of those people who has always known what they want, always known how to make it happen, never worried what other people will think if you make the changes you would love to make, you may not need a Life Coach!

If, however, you feel like life went adrift somehow - you know you could be and do so much more but suspect that what you want to be when you grow up hasn't been invented yet - to you, I say, "Let's talk!" 

Life is such a wonderful gift, I want to use it well.  I want to share the best of me with the world - and I want to help you do the same.  We are all so unique that only we can know how we want to live.  Taking time to figure a way out of the doldrums can make waves - but it can also lead to smooth sailing ahead. 

Knowing where you want to go is half the battle.  Navigating change and preparing for your new destination is another.  We will focus on helping you chart a new course.

Specific Programs

Finding Your Confidence

Picture
Lacking confidence is  not only excruciatingly painful, it is also like having an anchor that is so heavy you think you will never be able to pull it up and set sail.  I know; I struggled with acute insecurity for far too long.  But finding your confidence can be done.  It's a bit like finding your keys - always in the last place you thought to look; within yourself rather than "everybody else".

So, if you are always worried about what other people think, make choices more to avoid the disapproval of others than to pursue what makes you happy, or base your happiness on what people think of you, please consider this program.  We'll not only help you find your confidence, we'll make sure you know how to keep it in a safe place so you don't lose it again.   hour/2 week program $140.00

Surviving Chaos

Picture
When a Category-4 hurricane cut a swathe of destruction through my town, I was working for a non-profit, affordable housing provider.  I was amazed to see sunshine in the eye of the storm and, thankfully, I saw so much more of it in my fellow survivors after it had passed by.  But the hurricane was frightening, and the destruction of people's lives was real.  I remember sitting on my roof looking around, seeing helicopters and wondering what life would be like next, and what I should do next.  The only thing I knew was that I had to hammer more nails into the heavy tarpaulin. And yet, we rebuilt - stronger than we had been before.  And that was certainly not the most traumatic thing I have experienced.

In life, change can and will happen to us without warning or apology.  Your own personal hurricane could be a job loss, relationship, health issue, or fill-in-the-blank.  Whatever it is that has hit you from behind, this program is designed to help you find your peaceful center in the whirlwind, keep your feet grounded, and to emerge stronger than you ever imagined you could be.
