What is a Life Coach

What is a Life Coach?

Song Moo Kwan Taekwondo was offered on George AFB, and as a military kid who moved a lot, I often found myself on the receiving end of bullies. So five days a week, I was in my dojo with thirty other military families perfecting forms, breaking boards, sparring, and doing pushups, situps, and squats. I became not only physically strong but mentally strong as well.

The Korean term  for martial arts instructors is Sabom, a coach or "respected coach." Studying with my respected coach, I earned my black belt at 16, took first place in regional tournaments, and was featured in Karate Illustrated Magazine. 

Although I never became a Sabom, I am a Master Coach, I serve not as a therapist, a guru, a spiritual guide, or a friend. As a coach, I help you remember to see yourself as a whole, beautiful and perfect, which is to say that I help you see yourself as you 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.

I encourage you to be present in the nowness of now - to breathe deeply and to seek to make the best mistakes you know how.    

I work with you to remember what you already know to be true. I ask questions and engage with you in different activities. Should you struggle with a point in our work together, I work to simplify the spots where you may become trapped.

Our work together is centered on you. I grow through being the best coach I can be. As your coach, I function not as an expert in a specific subject matter but as an expert in the learning process itself. I help you to discover your way of learning.

My priority is to center our work on your experiences and to identify theories and ways of thinking that may help you connect with those experiences in a new way. You are your own responsibility. That does not change. As you grow, I will encourage you to discover the gifts of being self-directed, self-aware, and aligned with the world around you.

I invite you to sign up for a coaching session. Let's get started.
