C O A C H I N G “A coach is someone who tells you what you don’t want to hear, who has you see what you don’t want to see, so you can be who you have always know you could be.” - Tom Landry What if you could choose how to shape your reality? We all like to think that we are in control of our own lives and yet, we frequently ‘adjust’ them based on comments or expectations from family, friends, teachers or others. We start to shut down and modify our behavior – particularly after an unfavorable reaction from someone who is important to us. Then suddenly we wake up one day and discover that we don’t like the way we are behaving, who we have become, where we live or what we do. Or, it may be even subtler than that; we realize we have sold out on some part of our lives that is so important to us. Shaped Reality Coaching comes from the premise that I believe at any time in life we can choose to shape our reality. If you wake up one day and find that you don’t like your life, then it is time to reshape it! Coaching is not something that I ‘do’ to you. In coaching, you come with a desire and readiness to enhance aspects of your life. It is an interactive process that involves you choosing for yourself and being responsible for your choices and your actions. Coaching is the time when you get to climb off the hamster wheel and take a look at your life - do you like this life, or would you like to choose a totally different life? Why choose me as your coach? My love of people and having them succeed in whatever they want to pursue, led me to start coaching in 1999. Some of the greatest and proudest moments of my life have been coaching moments, when my clients have chosen to shape their reality to fit what they believe in, what they want or what they have secretly dreamed about achieving. There is no greater privilege for me than to be invited into someone’s heart and mind, to encourage their growth and witness their acts of courage. I am rigorous; there is no doubt about it. If you want to complain about your life, or someone in it, if you want someone to get in cahoots with you about what is ‘wrong’ with your life, then I am not the person. But, if you have had a niggling desire to achieve a dream, pursue an opportunity, clarify your purpose or come to know yourself, as you have never done before, then I am the right person for you. Coaching sample session Just as finding a doctor, dentist or mortgage broker who you like and trust, is highly important, so too is finding the right coach. As such, I offer all potential clients a complimentary 30-40 minute sample session where you bring a real issue or desire to the conversation and I coach you. That way you are able to experience coaching and see how we might work together. My promise to you I will see who you really are, and while that might scare you, I promise you, you will be inspired by what you are capable of, what your dreams are and what you can achieve when you put your attention on it.
