Life coaching is a fine-tuned, powerful process of communication between a coach and a client or a “coachee”. Every Life Coaching session aims to bring the client from where they are to where they want to be faster than they may be able to on their own.
A good Life Coach’s golden skill is listening. For that reason, sessions normally take place over the phone where the distractions to listening are minimal. Of course if so desired, sessions can also be face to face online, or in person as well.
A life coach is an expert listener, knows when to ask specially crafted, expertly designed questions in order to invite shifts in perspective and create actionable, goal oriented change. She is a cheerleader and an accountability partner for her client. Life Coaching is a co-creative process.
When both the coach and the client know their roles, the potential for forward movement is never ending.
During a life coaching session the client does “the heavy lifting”. They bring a theme to the table, are prepared to reflect, be open to embrace change, and ready to take steps to make that change happen.

The goal of life coaching is to bring your inner wisdom up to the surface and get you from where you are with a situation to where you want to be faster than you may be able to on your own.

Different than a two-way conversation with a friend, a coaching session entails a dialogue focused entirely on the “coachee’s” situation. The coach is there to invite shifts in perspective so the “coachee’s” inner wisdom can surface, she can get “unstuck”, see paths towards change and formulate plans to achieve that change.
A life coach is not a consultant who gives expert advice, nor a therapist who can offer therapy to bring a person who may be non-functioning to functioning. A life coach rather, aims to bring a person from functioning to excellent!

Sessions take place either face to face in person, by phone or by video call.
You can start by booking a free discovery call. We will have a conversation to decide whether life coaching is right for you and if you and I are a good fit.
