For People Determined to Revive Their Health and Life

Coaching is an effective way to empower clients to reach their goals, support and encourage them on their path, and keep them accountable and moving forward. Accountability is a BIG deal, because without it, you're just saying you're going to do something, which you may or may not do. After all, if just "saying" you're going to do something worked, why are there countless articles on dieting, health, and New Year's resolutions that most people don't keep? No man is an island; remember that saying? It's true; we all need help and support at various times in our lives.

One could say that the coach is a catalyst in the process of accelerating change. I will help you create goals from your intentions and plans. An effective coaching environment is one that is safe (though not always comfortable) enough for the client to be brutally honest and risk uncovering hidden feelings and emotions that can be painful, but need to be expressed. It is a space for the client to be herself and not be judged for her thoughts and feelings. She can speak her truth and not worry what the coach will think. Withholding the truth doesn't serve the client or the coach, and can only hinder the process. It is also an agreement to keep shared information confidential.

As your coach, I will listen to you on a deep level, being attuned to and hearing what you are saying, but also what you may not be saying. I am receptive to the information I draw in from my senses and intuition, which might not be correct, but I will always check its validity out with you. I will ask you questions, ask you to clarify and dig deeper, and though some of it might sound redundant, it's in an effort to get you to articulate what is truly going on, to be honest, to get to the heart of the matter.

As your coach, I will encourage, support and give you my undivided attention. I'm on your side! You'll create baby steps that will propel you toward your goal. I will help you to make choices and become more resourceful. You will learn and move forward. Action and learning over time leads to sustained and effective change, which is what you want. I will keep you accountable, as it is the fundamental structure that keeps the conversation going. My promise to you is that I will always tell you the truth and help you as best as I can.
