LIFE COACHING

Professional Life Coaching is a personalized vehicle for supporting clients in “stepping up and into” their own development. Development involves transformation based on increasing one’s awareness. Through coaching, clients discover possibilities that were previously hidden or unavailable to them, given the way they had constructed their world; the client’s current state of awareness constrained the range of possibilities available to them.

Expanding awareness involves the capacity to shift what clients notice and how they think so that they see possibilities through new eyes. Though the coach is there to support and facilitate the thinking, speaking, and being, the individual chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions as well as concepts and principles which can assist in generating possibilities and identifying actions. Through the coaching process the clarity that is needed to support the most effective actions is achieved. Coaching accelerates the individual’s progress by providing greater focus and awareness of possibilities leading to more effective choices. Coaching concentrates on where individuals are now and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be in the future. Results are a matter of the individual’s intentions, choices and actions supported by the coach’s efforts and application of coaching skills, approaches and methods.

Help your clients to:

  • Transform limiting beliefs and establish empowering processes and thoughts to combat or eliminate limiting beliefs

  • Examine the current practices of life, identify and eliminate barriers to success

  • Establish a compelling vision and aligning goals and behaviors

  • Open eyes to make possibilities new again

  • Embrace all of who he/she is and looking to become

  • Express your true feelings and thoughts within a safe, non-judgmental, supportive partnership. This alone often brings immediate and tremendous relief. This is the start of a new beginning.


LEADERSHIP COACHING

If there is anything that we need in the world right now, it is effective leadership! The most effective leaders are able to lead themselves first. Coaching leaders is about holding the space for them to think about what’s “next” (vision and mission), while they experience their “now”. There are some definite guidelines on what is and is not coaching. Coaching is about many things.  However, principally it is about change.  It is about developing emotional intelligence and conscious awareness.  Coaching is a leadership behavior that lies at the opposite end of the spectrum to command and control, and in effect addresses the whole person, not just “the role” and work or life issues. As a Life and Leadership Coach, you will help leaders in the following areas:

  • Coaching for Conflict

  • Coaching for Performance

  • Coaching for Personal and Professional Growth

  • Coaching to Grow Other Leaders

Ultimately, Leadership Coaching is about helping your client see around the corner; placing your perspective on top of his perspective-creating an entirely shifted perspective. Your job is to help them see “things” differently.

SPIRITUAL COACHING

A Spiritual Life Coach helps clients explore the deeper connections between people and God; a connection with something bigger than them. They help clients gain a greater understanding of the world the live in, the world that they see and don’t see. Through their work, a Spiritual Coach will use various tools to support their clients’ journeys. They act as a guide to unleashing self-trust and compassion in another person.

People choose to work with Spiritual Coaches for many reasons. Some of the primary areas in which Spiritual Coaches often work with clients include:

  • Releasing judgments and negative self-talk

  • Adopting a positive mindset

  • Developing a sense of empowerment

  • Understanding your true purpose

  • Uncovering and eliminating blocks

  • Discovering your own spirituality

  • Understanding the true self

  • Understanding and trusting your intuition

  • Healing past hurts

  • Manifesting what you want in life

  • Navigating difficult life challenges

Is spirituality the same thing as religion?

People often wonder if they need to be religious to work with or become a Spiritual Coach. The answer is no. Unlike religion, spirituality does not come with a set of codes or doctrines. It is about the connection to something bigger than ourselves. By remembering and honoring that connection, people can cultivate feelings of love, compassion and awareness. A spiritual coach will always respect their client’s personal religious beliefs.


RELATIONSHIP COACHING

Relationships are all about attachments. Often, our inability to let go or develop healthy attachments and expectations are the greatest source of suffering. Beyond needless suffering, the consequence of attachment is limited possibility. Relationship Coaches help to facility the process of navigating attachments in all relationships; promoting authentic living in healthy, loving relationships.
Get certified to work with individuals in various stages of relationships:
