What is a Life Coach?

A Life Coach is someone who will partner with you to translate your dreams and ideas into achievable goals.

What are the benefits of working with a Life Coach?

Setting the goals you want to achieve.

Taking the action steps necessary to achieve your goals and live a better, more balanced life.

Reaching for more and not be overwhelmed by the process.

Gaining a clearer focus which will allow you to make better decisions for yourself and your business.

An abundance of energy - no more burn out!

Is telephone coaching effective?

Yes.  Because by not seeing each other, there are no judgements made and no preconceived notions are concocted.  You are just 2 people having a conversation.  Also, if I do not know who you are visually, you are more inclined to be totally honest and open in the relationship which will lead to increased personal growth. 

The only way you can see how effective telephone coaching is is to give it a try.  I offer a complimentary 1/2 hour telephone coaching session.  You will have nothing to lose and a great deal to gain.

Is coaching any different than having a good frind to talk to?

Yes.  There will be times when you want the comfort of a good friend to talk to.  True friends are supportive and caring.  Friends tend to want to be kind to you and help to make your life easier.  They tend to tell you what to do because they want the best for you.  Where as a Coach will hold you accountable, challenge you and allow you to find the answers that are inside you so that you learn, grow and stay focused on the goals and dreams you want to achieve.

Is coaching the same as counselling?

No.  Counselling and other forms of therapy tend to look at past issues.  Coaching focuses on the here and now and your future.  Coaching works on the assumption that you are capable of change and of taking responsibility for your life.  A Coach partners with you, always working on the assumption that you are the expert when it comes to your life.

How do I find the right Coach for me?

Every Coach is different and we all coach in different ways.  The best way is to take a look at their websites and see what resonates with you.  Most Coaches offer a complimentary coaching session.  Sign up for as many as you wish until you find a Coach that is right for you.

How can a Life Coach be an expert in so many areas of life?

A Life Coach is not "the expert" in all areas of life.  The best Coaches are experts in asking the right questions and setting challenges at exactly the right time.  Most Coaches call upon their life experiences and intuition in certain situations. That is the power of coaching.
