Everybody has different reasons for choosing to work with a Personal Coach but clients stay with their coaches because they get results.

• You may be in transition or just contemplating changes in your life right now.
• You may want someone who can be a sounding board for your ideas and dreams.
• You may want to be held accountable for what you promise yourself you will do or perhaps you are not sure what to do first.
• You may be caught in a repeating loop and you want to break out of it.
• You may be caught by the procrastination net.
• You might be saying, "I don't deserve to have that" or any other limiting belief along that line.

Personal coaching can help you work through all this and much more.

Coaching is often the most powerful relationship experienced by many coaching clients. Your coach is usually the only person in your life that does not have an agenda about what is best for you.

You are surrounded by family, friends, co-workers who, with all their best intentions often "know" what is best for you. Though their intentions are good they aren't trained in coaching skills and they are often too closely involved to set their ideas aside and allow you the opportunity to discover personally the correct course to follow. As your coach I accompany you as you create the vision of your future and make your choices along the way.

Why not consulting, therapy or mentoring?

CONSULTING - A consultant is hired to solve a specific problem and is usually expected to have advice, opinions and solutions that are proposed. Then the client is left to implement them. This is very different than coaching as coaching holds the client to be naturally creative, whole, resourceful and committed to implementing their own solutions. Coaching empowers the client!

THERAPY - Coaching does not intend to work on issues such as addictions, severe depressions, severe anxieties, phobias, destructive or abusive patterns or other such conditions.

MENTORING - In mentoring the mentor is someone who has walked that road before and therefore has experience and advice on how you should do what you are trying to achieve. Alternatively, the coach may or may not have personal experience in a given situation but it doesn't matter, as the client is naturally creative, whole and resourceful and will know what to do. Mentoring originates from Greek mythology, in which it is reported that Odysseus; when setting out for Troy, entrusted his house and the education of Telemachus to his friend, Mentor. "Tell him all you know," Odysseus said, and thus he unwittingly set some limits to mentoring. The coach will facilitate the discovery process but won't actually advise.
