Coaching is about brainstorming, forward thinking, action plans, setting boundaries, and staying motivated.

It is a co-active partnership in identifying and overcoming self-limiting beliefs, thought patterns, and sabotaging behaviors such as procrastination, black and white thinking, fear of what change will bring, anxiety, worry, and disorganization.

In my process, I like to integrate Hypnosis/Guided Imagery into my coaching.  It helps seemingly stuck clients gain access to their internal switches for change.  They soon discover what had disabled them and made those “switches” faulty in the first place.

With a fully-loaded, powerful belief system clients can live knowing as Joseph Campbell said...

“The world is a match for us and we’re a match for the world.  And where it seems most challenging lays the greatest invitation to find deeper and greater powers in ourselves.”

Who seeks a Life Coach?

Here are a few scenarios...

Jump Right In

You’ve got a lot on your mind.  You’re overwhelmed with a lot of ideas and nowhere to start.  There’s no real problem, but no real passion either.  You know you don’t need therapy.  However, something has to give so you can start/finish a few things.  Great!  Let’s begin the discovery and see what we find.

Moving Along

You’ve already started your project, relationship, or business.  Something is still missing.  Things are not as prescribed.  Your body is crabby.  You're not sure what you NEED at this point.  Even if you have a clue, it’s been a while since you committed quality time listening to YOURSELF; I am all ears.

Responsibility Overload

Everything is too much.  What used to make you feel good is mediocre.  You’ve outlived the roles and goals of your day-to-day.  Your life has the map of a cul-de-sac.  No problem, I'm sure that we can put a fence between the pressures and thus quickly install the power word NO into your vocabulary. 

Relationship Tar Pit

Snarling has taken the place of talking.  Feeling alive in your relationship has flat-lined.  Sex isn’t happening.  You’d rather be at work, hanging with the kids, or on the computer.  You know from therapy the terms: "mirroring," (repeating back what YOU HEARD your spouse say) and "getting out of YOUR STORY" (about the other person), etc. Yet, your HOPE has been hijacked.  Together, we can explore what vision you have now and encourage you both to step into it.

Worry Mode

Chronic worry, "what-if-ing," looping thoughts, old scripts, negative attitude... past non-functioning patterns... your mind is just not a team player.  It’s the player who misses the ball EVERY TIME.  I have the tools/techniques in my playbook to eliminate those old ineffectual habits/patterns/beliefs.

Would you like to experience...

... clarity in direction, both in personal and professional drives?  Getting "there" quickly, creatively, and significantly while still enjoying “here?”

... ease in approaching life’s challenges with the pause instead of push button, thus experiencing the art of timing?

... organization in all areas: spending time on what's important, not on what just "comes up?"

... daily commitment to innate creativity, intuition, and wisdom?

... constructive and calm responses through life's struggles?

... effective guided meditation to deprogram your mind of old patterns before you start giving yourself positive suggestions?

... establishment of clear boundaries with people and events in life?

... maintaining balance in life so that personal integrity matches up effectively with the universal plan:  inner conflicts are cues for communication and change?

What kind of commitment is expected at the start?

When it comes to Coaching, THREE MONTHS is my preferred timetable.  You need the concentrated chunks of time to create momentum, and follow through to shift old patterns.

 

After the initial three months we REVIEW WHERE YOU ARE.  From there we outline a structure that works best for you.  Some clients come weekly, monthly, etc.  It's an "AS WANTED and NEEDED BASIS."  My door is always open for a TUNE UP.

When it's only Hypnosis, we work together until the issue is gone.  It can take as little as a few sessions or more.  Everyone is different.

When you are ready to GO FOR IT, please email me.  I will get back to you within 72 hours.

At this time, I am booked for ONE-ON-ONE coaching until January 2011. However, please keep checking in with me because I don’t send out a flare when I have openings again.

Also, I recommend working with Paul Locker, a very empathic, wise, and grounded coach with whom I’ve had the pleasure of working, as well as Dani Harrold, a tremendously talented Creative Coach.  Please check out their information on the Affiliates page.
