Initially, defining the words "Life Coach" can be an elusive yet intriguing process. An individual's first impression is that they want to know more because it carries the immediate assumption of "taking you to a whole new level." That's what an Athletic Coach does - takes a good team and makes it better; just as an Olympic Coach takes a great athlete and inspires and trains them to be the best that they can be. Coaching should push you to excel in your God-Given talents and abilities. After all, isn't that why a Coach is hired? Taking what is already good, abilities that are already inside of you, and inspiring and guiding them towards the greater competence and fulfillment that you desire.

Therefore, the idea of a Personal Life Coach is one that is YOUniquely personalized in the art of assisting YOU towards the greater competence and fulfillment YOU desire. Coaching is not about looking back; Coaching is all about looking forward. It is forward thinking. Life Coaching is about training people how to improve their own lives. A Life Coach will journey with you for a season to help you discover your life purpose and map a clearer vision for your future.

A good Life Coach will help you find and articulate clear values and assist you in mapping out a plan so that your daily filled life will match your spoken life values. An effective Life Coach can help you manage time and change effectively.

Having a Personal Life Coach is about:

• Helping you evaluate your life to help you get out of any ruts
• Build self-confidence to follow your dreams
• Gain courage to take reasonable risks

A great Life Coach will walk with you for a season as you strive to get that promotion at work or during a more personal goal you have, independent of a corporate career, such as writing your own book or growing your own business. As a certified Life Coach I specialize in coaching people through "life transitions". A child having left the house, moving on to college, (better known as "the empty nest syndrome") a divorce or the death of a loved one. Life is all about change, and life transitions are as certain as the changing of the seasons.

As your Christian Life Coach, I can also admonish core values in nurturing a closer walk with God - if that is what you desire. Reaffirming the value God has placed inside of you and on your life. I am committed to recognizing, and respecting each person as an individual and reassuring you that you have a YOUnique purpose to fulfill as you journey on this earth. A personal Life Coach can help you strengthen your communication skills and find focus in life.

Coaching is a special kind of relationship with a purpose marked by honesty, respect and mutual goals to help you discover your own personal hopes and dreams. I will help you focus on your energies and passions that are YOUnique to you by asking skilled questions and listening intently to what is inside of you. I will challenge you to make wise decisions, set specific, realistic goals that are measurable and attainable in lieu of your past experiences, your current situations and your future hopes and dreams.
As your Life Coach, I will maintain the strictest confidentiality and be magically forthright in asking you pertinent questions to maintain your success. These will hold you accountable to the plan you will come up with, resulting in you achieving your goals and taking you to a whole new level of fulfillment.

Most coaching takes place via the phone and can be supplemented with emails when required, which allows for no geographical barriers. If you live in the Ft. Worth area and prefer face to face sessions, that can also be arranged.

You have lots to check out on my website and can sign up for a complimentary, 30 minute exploratory coaching session to see if Life Coaching is right for you. As you are passing through the seasons of your life, I hope someday our paths will cross.
