Life Coaching

Personal coaching is for someone who may be frustrated with some aspect of life, but not sure how to move through it.  This could be related to a career path, personal relationship, litigation, or a health issue.  A life coach is like a buoy in a sea of turmoil. Navigating difficulties on your own can create needless stress and sleepless nights. Your life coach will motivate, share advice, offer objective guidance, help you make a plan and keep you on task in achieving your goals. Understanding your strengths and weaknesses is important to working with your assets. Life coaching can bring more balance, enjoyment and purpose to your life. Life coaching is focused on the present and future.

Collaborative Divorce Coaching

Collaborative divorce is becoming more desirable by couples who seek to separate in a more peaceful and cooperative approach.  There are many emotional and financial benefits to couples and children in resolving disputes with this method.  Privacy, expediency and a professional team take the adversarial nature out of marriage dissolution.  A Certified Collaborative Divorce Coach establishes a support structure during a painful transition and time of complex change. This passage also presents opportunities for personal growth.

Business Coaching

Today’s organizational and economic climate can be challenging, if not exhausting. If you are thinking about a career move, building your business or trying to survive in the corporate world, it is vital to have someone to walk with you.  These kinds of issues can burden a personal relationship. Criticism and personal interests often become involved with spousal support. An objective and experienced sounding board can create confidence and enhance your problem solving.  If you are looking for a higher level of performance and success, coaching can make the difference.  The best fit is someone with business experience and coaching skills.

Performance Coaching

Mental training is an important aspect of development toward excellence.  Competition can create anxiety and impede peak performance. The use of imagery to help control anxiety and improve attention and focus is a basic skill.  Shifting from the critical ‘inner voice’ to the desired result is more than just a ‘secret’ of positive mental attitude.  Negative thoughts can lead to negative feelings, lower self esteem and poor performance.  Mental training techniques including cognitive behavioral skills, visual imagery, relaxation and hypnosis can provide necessary tools toward achievement.

A variety of assessment tools can be utilized to take the guesswork out of identifying the problem.

• Career – to pinpoint interests, attitudes and values to connect correctly with career choices creating fulfillment; fitness for duty evaluation.

• Depression and Anxiety – to properly diagnose clinical problems which interfere with your life goals or to qualify for insurance payment.

• Personality or Character Traits – which affect your ability to function in more than one area of your life.

• Conflict Situations – designed to assess behavior in conflict situations. Modifying aspects such as aggressiveness or avoidance can make all the difference in how you get along with others and handle problems.

• Life Style Assessment – a tool which is used to provide understanding of a characteristic style, life components and etiology of the problem. It includes Early Recollection assessment.

• Early Recollections – give insight into mistaken beliefs or interfering ideas which are affecting the present conscious state.

Counseling

If you are looking for an opportunity for personal growth and a chance to overcome the personal struggles in your life, a more intensive approach is offered.  Assessment is part of the treatment plan toward formation of possible diagnosis and getting to the root of the problem quickly.  A comprehensive treatment plan is provided to develop solutions which will get you back into feeling in control.  The goal is to provide stewardship, not dependency.  Strategies to develop greater ego strength and to improve coping skills and quality of life are fostered.

Relationship Counseling

Marital strategies and techniques to transform the needs of the couple as an expression of hope, not surrender are fostered. Assessment is encouraged and taking ownership of personal contributions to the problem is the format.  Real change occurs when we change ourselves, not our partner. When both partners are working on the self within the relationship, change occurs quickly and naturally.

Group Programs

This format can be useful on a one-time basis or on-going as desired.  Facilitation of group dynamics toward a common goal is meant to provide a safe environment to develop and practice skills with others who share common interests or problems. This program can be useful in a business team meeting, a women’s group, or a support group.  The use of a skilled team leader and moderator can benefit the goals of the group.
