• Do you need help processing or healing something from your past?
• Do you need someone to show you how to build your business?
• Do you need someone to teach you how to do a new skill?
• Do you need someone to help you to get over grief?
• Do you need someone to tell you what workouts to do and what to eat?

If you said yes to any of those three questions, you don't need a coach. You need a counselor, therapist, nutritionist, trainer, a consultant, mentor, or teacher.

Coaching is distinctly different by a few important factors. Coaches hold space for their clients to speak about things that are stopping them from living their life fully now.

I like to think of coaches as thinking partners.

Your thoughts are what create your reality, your feelings, and can keep your stuck or propel you forward in life.

Well-trained, skilled, certified ethical coaches (like me) are talented at listening deeply to their clients' stories, beliefs, fears, and easily spotting what's stopping them from having the life they want. Coaches empathetically show their clients what's creating their patterns or habits, then come alongside them and help them by providing support and accountability to move forward victoriously.

• Coaches talk very little, they listen.
• Coaches don’t give information; they ask questions to point to solutions.
• Coaches don’t offer ideas; they generate ideas from clients.
• Coaches don’t present solutions; they expand the client’s thinking.
• Coaches don’t tell you what to do: they have you feeling seen, heard, and important. Coaches don’t give recommendations; they empower clients to choose.
• Coaches don’t label or diagnose you; they offer compassion and empathy.
• Coaches don’t see you as broken: they see you as enough and worthy of living your life how you want to live your life.
• Coaches don’t give you a program or protocol; they stick by your side while you navigate doing things differently.

Who’s a good candidate for coaching?

Anyone really. I get weekly coaching, and I am a coach. I am also a certified personal trainer and hire a trainer now and then.

We all struggle in some area of our life, in relationships with other people, in working on a project that is important but other things keep getting in the way, breaking old habits and trying to start a new one, trying to find love, or create a life that you dream of but are feeling stuck. The feedback I get is, "I can talk to you about anything I am wrestling with. I can't talk to my friends or family because they are biased or will judge me."

If you're feeling lost, disconnected, misunderstood, struggling to break a habit/start a new habit, having a hard time figuring out your purpose or meaning in life, experiencing communication conflicts in your relationships, or moving into a new phase of life and feeling unsure how to move forward with making life's decisions, coaching is for you!
