Life coaching is a partnership between you and your coach that focuses on improving the quality of your life. Coaching is a journey to the life you are meant to have, it focuses on developing your true potential.

The coaching partnership has a common goal: for you to achieve the life you really want to live. Your role is to fully commit to changing your life, to be open to suggestions and to be willing to take action. The coach's role is to listen closely to what you say, to give you feedback, to encourage you and to help you define a structure and strategies, to create an action plan and then implement that action plan to achieve those dreams and goals.

We all have skills and talents that lay untapped within us. Life is an ongoing journey of self discovery. As your coach I will help you discover your strengths and follow your passions. Everyone deserves a fulfilling, happy, meaningful life. As your coach I can help you on your path to living the life you really want.

By clarifying your vision for the life you want, setting goals that build on successes, removing the blocks that impede your progress and finding new opportunities to help you live the most rewarding life imaginable.

Life coaching is a wonderful endeavor that is all about you. It is about who you are now, and who you want to be. It is about what you are doing now and what you want to do. It is all about realizing your dreams and having the life you most want to have.

Do you feel that something is missing in your life? Are there ways in which your life could be more fulfilling? Have you read self-help books but still have trouble actually creating the changes you want in your life? A coach is trained to listen intently to what you have to say, to observe what is happening in your life and to give you unbiased, focused feedback. A coach provides techniques to help you move forward, find your truth from deep inside you and provide you with encouragement and support along the journey.

Often we look to our friends and family to help us find our answers. They are our support network. They are the people we rely on. But often it is hard for our friends and family to look at us in a detached and unbiased way. There are things they need and expect of us. It can be very difficult for us to sort out where the boundaries are and where they should be. Our problems and our solutions get enmeshed in theirs. It can be hard to take a step back and look at what is going on from an objective perspective.

The wonderful thing about having a life coach is that your life coach does not start with any perspective or agenda but that of helping you determine what you really want in your life. Your coach isn't interested in telling you what you 'should' do, but helping you discover what you truly want to do and how you can follow your dreams with integrity and joy. Integrity based on your values. Joy based on what you love most deeply.

An American Sign Language Interpreter will be provided!

I work with deaf and hard of hearing clients as well as hearing clients. When working with deaf or hard of hearing clients, an American Sign Language interpreter joins us for the sessions. I provide this service at no additional charge to my clients.

I take a weekly class in ASL, practice regularly with friends and family and fully expect that one day I will be completely fluent in ASL. ASL is a beautiful language and I enjoy learning more each day. I look forward to the day when having an interpreter is no longer necessary.

During your free trial session we will talk about you - and the life you really want and how I can help you achieve your goals. I will explain what coaching is and what it can do for you. I will answer any questions you may have about life coaching. This is absolutely free and there is no obligation to continue.

At the end of your free trial session, I will ask you if you wish to move forward with a coaching relationship. If you are unsure or do not wish to move forward at this time, that is completely acceptable. There is no obligation. If, however, you wish to continue we will discuss a regular day and time for our sessions and get you on the path to finding the life you are meant to have, a life filled with joy!

During the first session we will get to know one another.

Please feel free to share whatever facts, opinions, or thoughts you have that you feel will be important to know about you so that I will be able to coach you in a way that you find comfortable and encouraging.

Tell me what your goals, dreams and desires are for your life. All your ideas, big and small, are appropriate for our coaching sessions. Are there specific areas you know that you want to be coached in? Do you already have specific expectations around being coached?

We can then clarify what you want out of our coaching partnership. If you have more than one goal, we can prioritize the issues and choose the first one. We will then look at what action plan will be your first step in reaching that goal or resolving that issue. We will probably set up some fieldwork for you to complete during the following week.

Your answers are written on your soul. I help you to uncover them and find your true path and the way to move forward that resonates with your soul. I use a variety of tools to help you on this path. I listen deeply to what you have to say. I may suggest new perspectives and new options. I will give you the help and support you need to make the changes you truly desire. I will question your assumptions and encourage you to follow what is in your soul. We will look at your true values - the ones that mean the most to you and align your life with those values. You were born with passions for a reason. What gives you true joy is what you are meant to do. I help you rediscover those deeply held joys and bring them into the light of your life now.

We will set up a regular day and time for our sessions. A session is typically 60 minutes long. Depending on where you live, we can either meet in person or talk over the telephone.

Together we will create action plans to move you forward. The plan may include 'fieldwork', which are action steps that give you specific changes to make in your life.

In each session we will first review the previous week's action plan. How did it go? Was the fieldwork easy or difficult for you? How did you feel about completing it? If you were not able to complete it, we can talk about what got in your way. We will adjust the action plans according to the progress you make and your comfort level with the steps.

This is your time. Together we will create the action plans. I will be there to help you clarify the issues and as a sounding board, partner, assistant and to encourage you.

Simply put each week has a few basic steps:

1. Review the actions you took during the previous week based on the action plan from the previous week.

2. Discuss the progress made. Did the action plan produce the desired results? Was the goal met or are there modifications that need to be made to the action plan?

3. Talk about how the steps felt to you. Did you feel challenged? Did you feel overwhelmed? Challenged is good, overwhelmed is not. What alterations should we make to future action plans based on your results.

4. Decide on the action plan for the coming week.

5. Review - realign - move forward.
