Why Life Coaching?  Why Now? 

Life or Business Coaching allows us to widen our perspective and our choices.  It also teaches us new skills.  Perhaps we want to change jobs or careers, or perhaps we want to become more effective communicators or stronger leaders, but it is difficult for us to make this happen using the tools currently available to us.  Sometimes we get stuck in habitual ways of attempting change... ways which prevent us from achieving our goals.

Working with a coach in a confidential and trusting environment, we can begin to make progress in areas we had previously been unsuccessful.  But how do you know if you are a good candidate for Life Coaching?

• Are you at a place in your life or career where “good enough” is
  no longer adequate?

• Do you regularly talk yourself out of trying something you believe you belong doing? 

• Have you tried, unsuccessfully, to improve some aspect of your life?

• Do you know in your heart that you are here to make a larger contribution to humanity, but "life" just keeps getting in the way of your vision?

We all have a way we show up in the world.  A way which shapes what we see, what we do, and how we check our progress.  And since this "way" defines us, it is very difficult for see its strengths or how it may even be holding us back from achieving what we most want out of life.  It is as if we are wearing a pair of glasses which filters our perspective and we don't even realize it.  So what does Integral Life Coaching have to offer us?

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you have imagined." -- Henry David Thoreau

Integral Life Coaching offers a method for us to take a step back from our current way of viewing things so that we can identify not only what is working well, but also things that are holding us back from what we most want out of life.  It then goes one step further and provides a custom-designed coaching program to help us build "muscles" (competencies) we can then use to start stepping from our current way to a new way of being - one which allows us to address our Coaching Topic and to move toward meaningful change in our lives - change we deeply desired but had been unable to create for ourselves.  And the Coach is there to support us and bring out our own resourcefulness every step of the way - resourcefulness we didn't realize we had before working with a Coach.

We also have a tendency to get in our own way from time to time - to hold ourselves back from achieving our potential.  This happens for a variety of reasons. Regardless of the reason, however, I believe we can overcome these limitations, especially if we create the right support system around addressing them. 

My goal is to help you realize your full potential. I offer Integral Life Coaching programs, workshops and informational articles and seminars on various subjects. In addition to being a Life Coach, I am also a bit of a humorist, so although I take coaching seriously, we will also find ways to hold things more lightly throughout the process.

Working with a life coach - and especially an Integral Life Coach - is a powerful way to support yourself to achieve your goals and realize your dreams.  Why?  Because Integral Life Coaching takes a comprehensive approach to addressing your needs.

Some of the potential benefits of coaching include:

• Increased ability to handle stress;
• Increased clarity and focus;
• Better sense of direction and purpose;
• Increased self confidence;
• Stronger relationships;
• More of a hopeful, positive attitude;
• Better work-life balance;
• And much more.

Another potetial benefit is that as a result of your coaching program, your newly-improved self will often have a positive impact on others around you, such that by improving yourself, you allow for others around you to change as well.

What is a "FREE 30-minute coaching conversation"?

The purpose of the free coaching conversation (offered by phone or Skype) is to give you a better idea of what coaching and Integral Life Coaching is, to see if coaching is right for you, and to assure that you and I would work well together in a coaching environment.  This is also a time to ask any questions you might have about the process.  There is no obligation, just an honest discussion of where you are, where you would like to be, and how Integral Life Coaching can support you throughout the process.
