Clients come to life coaching to work on any number of areas. Some come to work on career issues, finances, personal development, relationships, physical well being or to start-up their own businesses. Still others find value in life coaching on the subject of balancing the various aspects of their life. Some clients have a sense that something is missing, that they have not yet found their life purpose.

Clients may say things like "If only I had more time" or "I have so much to do I don't know where to start" or "I need to get organized" or "I wish I could figure out what to do next". You may be looking to start that new career or new business or get a new job. You might be looking to add more meaning to your life or improve relationships. Since the coach facilitates the conversation and the client finds his or her own answers, there is no limit to what the client can accomplish in a coaching relationship.

As you may have read in the New York Times, Fortune, Time or Fast Company, coaching is quickly becoming one of the leading tools that successful people use to be their best. Coaching is an exciting paradigm for growth, fulfillment and self-discovery. Coaches are in demand by executives, by entrepreneurs, in corporations and by anyone who wants to excel. People are using coaches to inspire them to go beyond the ordinary.

Coaching is a combination of a consultant to help you gain clarity and identify goals for yourself... A forecaster to break them down into attainable successes... A personal trainer to give you valuable feedback and keep you focused on your target... And your own cheering section to support you and believe in you along the way.

Life coaching provides the client with a positive supportive environment that allows the client to explore and discover what they want out of life. Life coaching is not therapy or counseling. It does not focus on the past but the present. In this environment the client sets goals and creates plans that keep them in action. Life coaching deals with all aspects of our lives: relationships, family, career, money, health and personal and spiritual growth. The client makes choices that are aligned with their values. Through life coaching you see new perspectives and set your sights on new horizons.

Life coaching begins with a two-hour intake session where we explore your values and belief system while gaining insight and clarity into what's going on for you. From there, coaching is done in weekly hourly sessions on the phone, or in person. During this conversation, feedback, perspective, encouragement and new ways of tackling situations are provided. At the same time, you gain clarity through powerful questions and compelling requests.

The coach / client relationship provides a safe, positive, and confidential environment. This environment allows the client to explore and discover how to make choices that are aligned with their values. The client sets the agenda for each coaching session, and aligns him/herself with what is most important to them. It is not unusual for the client to start the coaching relationship working on one area and then end up accomplishing in other areas.
