When people in my day-to-day life learn that I am a Life Coach, they often follow by asking what that means and what a Life Coach is and does. I would like to extend a personal invitation to a free thirty-minute small group coaching session on Thursday, September 15th at 8:00 EDT, as an opportunity for you to ask questions about coaching and experience what it is like to be coached.

A Life Coach is a wellness professional who helps people progress and gain greater fulfillment through improvements to their relationships, careers, and day-to-day lives.

I have a Master's of Science in Special Education, have worked in Education for over thirty years, and am a certified Life Coach. I take my life's experience and focus on helping my clients clarify their goals, identify the obstacles holding them back, and develop strategies for overcoming each obstacle. In creating these strategies, I target their unique skills and gifts. By helping them make the most of their strengths, I provide the support they need to achieve lasting change.

I help my clients remember to see themselves as whole, beautiful and perfect, which is to say that I help them see themselves as they are. By being who we are, we offer our best to the world. Doing this requires the courage to face ourselves, feel our feelings, and examine our thoughts.

A life coach is not a licensed therapist. As professionals, our roles are distinct and serve unique purposes. Therapists are licensed to treat mental health conditions, such as feelings of hopelessness, difficulty concentrating, sleep disruption, mood disturbance, and much more. A Life Coach cannot treat mental health conditions and is not licensed or regulated by the state or government. 

Life Coaches come from diverse social and academic backgrounds, and each Life Coach may have their own philosophy about or approach to coaching. As a coach, I encourage my clients to be present in the nowness of now - to breathe deeply and know that there are no mistakes. To see their circumstances as neutral rather than negative and, despite their opinions, feelings, thoughts, and perspectives, know that although we may not always be able to control what happens in our lives. We can always control our thoughts about our circumstances and how we choose to respond. 

If you would like to learn more about the role of a Life Coach, I invite you to join me this Thursday, September 15th, at 8:00 EDT, for a free thirty-minute small group coaching session. This free thirty-minute small group coaching session is an opportunity for you to ask questions about coaching and experience being coached.
