What is a Life Coach?

A Life Coach is a professional who partners with you to listen well, ask thoughtful and powerful questions, and help you move toward a goal or a change.  To help you establish where you are and where you want to be.

Is coaching like therapy?

Coaching is not therapy, counseling, consulting, mentoring, or discipleship. The coach is not the "expert" and does not give advice. Coaching candidates must be ready to move forward and look to the future. If there are unresolved hurts from the past, therapy may be required before the coaching relationship can begin.  Therapy is designed for healing, and coaching is designed for growth.

Are you ready for coaching?

• Are you ready to be completely honest with yourself and your coach?

• Are you ready to clarify your mission, purpose, vision, and goals by identifying your core values?

• Are you ready to invest your time, energy, and financial resources to follow through on your commitments and reach your goals?

How does coaching work?

Once we've established our partnership, we'll set up our sessions. You will fill out a prep form before each session. You set our coaching sessions' agenda and focus while I manage the coaching process. My role is to provide you with the support you need to articulate your dreams and desires, clarify your values and purpose, establish your visions and goals, while giving you the accountability you need to achieve your goals. As your coach, I will give you my full attention while asking challenging questions to deepen your learning. I will encourage you to explore your options and identify limiting beliefs. I will be a reflective listener, hearing not only your words but your heart. I will encourage your strengths while being honest, direct and objective about the things that hold you back.
