“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
― Oscar Wilde
What is coaching?
The best way to explain what coaching is, is to start with the continuum of helping professions.
I don't have a niche. I coach humans. I work with anyone who is ready to turn their life around, whether it be in terms of career, relationships, parenting, or your overall physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Even though I coach humans, my coaching is not for everyone. It requires courage and an unwavering commitment to your own personal transformation.
As your coach, I will partner with you to help you live your best life - your most authentic and empowered life. What I require from you, is the courage to really look at your life and at how you show up in it; that you are willing to be with the discomfort of real transformation. The truth is, if there is a problem in your life, then you are the problem. However, that also means that you are the solution. When you are ready to see that, we can begin.
My coaching is connective and active.
What does that mean?
According to Karen and Henry Kimsey-House, as the pace of our lives has quickened, we have become increasingly action-oriented and results-driven. It seems expedient to dispense with all the “soft” stuff (being) and instead just push to “get the job done” (doing).
Unfortunately, this leaves us feeling disconnected and desperate for meaning and belonging. We wind up with what we might call “the hamster wheel” experience of life, as we run around alone in circles, desperately trying to get things done, only to find ourselves right back where we started.
This is why it is so important to begin with connection - connection with self, with others, and with purpose. Action arising from a place of being and receptivity is whole and integrated, rather than disconnected and driven. In order for us to experience life as whole, action must be grounded in being, i.e., in our sense of connection to our own essence, and the wholeness available to us in relationships and work.
Action taken from a place of deep inner knowing and connection, is laser-focused and intentional. This type of action is nourishing and fulfilling. It creates your life on purpose and feels much less like you are simply running around in circles going nowhere.
