In general, therapists are PAST AND PRESENT FOCUSED.

We live in a time in which everything anyone could ever want to learn, change, or do is available at their fingertips. Billions of dollars are spent every year on books, training, and education in pursuit of progress. But the truth is that most books are never read, most programs are never completed, and most of what is learned is never applied. We live in a giant sea of unfulfilled potential!

The reason people don’t follow through on changes or go for their dreams isn’t that they don’t have the resources. It isn’t because they don’t have the desire. And it isn’t because they don’t have the time. It’s because life happens. Responsibilities happen. Overwhelm happens. Limiting beliefs happen.

Change is hard.

Big goals take a big commitment. Doing something new or scary is always better (and more likely to actually happen) with a partner or a guide. No matter how inspired we are by our dreams, our old patterns and habituated comforts will quickly zap our energy and fade our drive.

• Review progress or changes since the last session, including homework
• Determine goals in your life you wish to address and plan for
• Reality check: where are you in comparison to where you want to be
• Explore options, solutions, and needed action steps
• Help you make a plan and agree to action steps
• Assign homework

Remember, the benefit of hiring a coach is that you have a concrete structure to hold you accountable.

• I will listen closely to you, respond to what I hear, and ask questions. If I hear something in your voice or body language that sparks an intuitive idea, thought or image, I’m likely to share it and ask you questions about it. Often it is these small nuances that create the bigger shifts for clients. Remember, if it doesn’t resonate, tell me. I’m not attached to being right.
• At the end of the session, if you do not mention what actions you are ready to take, I will make a coach request.
• I ask clients to stretch themselves, deepen the work done in the sessions by either journaling at home, taking a defined action, resolving relationships, or tackling things that feel incomplete. You are free to negotiate, accept or decline. Most of the work will be in regards to self-awareness and powerful choice.

• Make our coaching sessions a priority. You have chosen to invest in yourself.
• Please take time before each session to review what we have been working on.
• Please ensure any action steps or homework you decided on has been accomplished to the best of your ability. The most crucial part is for you to have an idea of what you’d like to take away from the session. Coaching is strongly based on the client’s agenda.
• Please arrive at every session on time.
• Come to your session centered and be open-minded. Be willing to change your beliefs and patterns if they do not serve you anymore.
• Give me feedback at the moment about your coaching experience –what works as well as what doesn’t. Do not ever worry about hurting my feelings or fear what I might think. I am here to support you not judge you or make decisions for you. If something I say does not resonate with you, I want to know about it.

Extra Time:

• Between sessions, if you have questions, a brief update, or want to bounce some ideas around, please contact me by email. Please keep these contacts succinct. If it seems like it will be better served as session material, I’ll suggest that.

Schedule Changes:

• Please give our session high priority and arrange your schedule to honor our agreed-upon time. If you must reschedule, I ask you to give me 24 hours’ notice or as soon as you are able. I will not reschedule no-shows. Because I am holding an appointment for you and will be unable to fit another client in with less than 24 hours’ notice, a $50 session fee will be charged for sessions canceled at the last minute. Emergencies are an exception.

Certified Master Life Coach:

• means that I am certified as a well-rounded life coach, fully capable of helping you accomplish your goals and vigorously pursue your endeavors.

Certified Professional Life Coach

It also means that I am certified to help you: be the observer of your thoughts and emotions, stop getting caught up in a “runaway mind”, stop being overwhelmed by your emotions, develop self-compassion and take back control of what and who you allow to influence you, as well as practice being more present with others.
