You may be wondering what I can do for your life and your needs. You may or may not have even heard of life coaching before. If you have it was often from the perspective of the cult of positivity.  What makes me different? I am not here to tell you how to live. I am not here to tell you how to think. I am not here to do anything but help you live the life that is authentically yours. Authenticity can’t ever be all positive. It is real. It is the ups and the downs. It is celebrating all the amazing things that make you a unique person.  My job is to help you find the best version of that authentic life. I am here to help you define and obtain your dreams.

This all sounds great, but it also sounds a bit vague. How could you know if I can help you from that? I don’t think you really can, so I am going to get into some of the detail. I do want to make sure that you understand that any general outline of what I do as a life coach is going to be vague. It is that way because I respect each individual client’s needs. What works for one person won’t always work for the next person. Each client plan I create is unique. It is going to be about your life, your needs, and your dreams. There are some general concepts that remain true no matter what.

The first session we have will always be an introductory session. Introductory sessions will always be free and about an hour in length. We will most likely have this session via a web meeting service. This is the place where we figure out if we are going to be able to work together well. This is the place where I figure out the things I can help you with. At the end of the session I will compile a list of the things I think I can help you with and you will get an email with those details. You will have, in writing, a reference point where we start to develop your personal plan.  You can see the things that I think I can help with and you can decide where we start. This is your life, so it should be your plan as well.

The next session we will have will be a discovery session. These are typically 1 to 2 hours in length. This is where we start to dig into who you are and what makes you tick. I need to know what your values are and what motivates you in order to help you build your best life. This is where we build the foundations for our relationship as well. We will both learn what you need in order to succeed. This is also the place that we will reefer back to when we do run into your blocks and obstacles. There will be work sheets and exercises we work though in this session. What we use is going to depend on what we found to work on together in the introductory session.

After the discovery session we begin our regular sessions. This is where we pick what item you want to work on first and start digging into the things you will need to make that idea come true. We will work on setting smart goals. We will dig into what has stopped you from achieving this on your own. We will figure out what you need to make it happen for you now. As you can imagine our ongoing sessions are going to be highly individual at this point. No two lives have the same needs and goals. This is the part of working with a life coach where the actual change happens. This is the place where you will start to see changes in your life. As with all sustained changes you will get out of this what you put into it. There will be weeks when you knock all your goals out of the park without breaking a sweat. There will be weeks where you just can’t seem to make anything happen. I am not here to judge you for either of those things. I am here to help you figure out what you need to make the struggle less often than the successes. I am here to help you figure out, and resolve, the obstacles and blocks in your way.

So, what can I do for you? I can help you create the life that you want, in a way that feels right for you. I can help you find your own strength and confidence. I can help you get past the things that we all have that can hold us back. No one can see all their options in the middle of big events. Even the most experienced life coaches need that support as well! I can also be your biggest cheerleader. I truly believe in your power to create lasting change in your life. I will help you find the solutions and help you create your dreams. I am your support and your helper. You are the true architect of your life.
