IT STARTS WITH CONNECTION

You choose whether or not to sit down with me.

If you do, that is what I will be asking of ourselves starting day one.

TO BETTER CONNECT

I want that first day to be just as powerful as the ones to follow. Do you have a few minutes for a brief introduction?

I can share some things about me now so that later I can keep my focus where it deserves to be directed. Focused on you.

What do I draw upon and utilize today as a coach?

FIFTY-SIX YEARS OF LIFE EXPERIENCE

In that time, I have learned a few things. I have ventured through my valleys of darkness having found the light of day was just around the corner. I have climbed a few mountains and enjoyed the beautiful vistas they display.

All while working on making sense of my life and most importantly who I AM as a person. I have embraced the changes that were necessary to become who I AM today.

It has taken some time.

TODAY, I AM TRULY AT PEACE WITH MYSELF AND MY LIFE AS I VIEW IT

The wisdom I have gleaned, through the years, has allowed Me to transform my life.

Now, more than ever before, I AM ready to share my story in a way that provides my key takeaways.

HELPING OTHERS FIND MORE LIGHT AND PEACE ALONG THE WAY

BECOMING A COACH

I am a certified life coach. Receiving my certification in October 2017 from the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA)

My business experience spans forty years. I spent my twenties and early thirties utilizing my bachelors degree in accounting for a family-owned and operated construction company as their in-house accountant. Exhausted from that experience, I chose to move in a different direction, becoming an independent insurance agent in the supplemental insurance arena. The first six months felt foreign. A 180° turn in careers. I leaned into it and seventeen years later - I retired.

It took many months to determine what my next move would be. My friend expressed to Me that she felt I would make a great life coach. I appreciated the comment but, at the time, actually thought to MySelf ...

What is a life coach and would I be great at it?

After a little research - I decided to give it a go.

I have utilized the past six years to glean a better understanding of myself. I have learned how to be a better person and coach. The pandemic provided me a period of time to lean into my ability to become still in order to create such a connection.

Coming into a new understanding and knowing of myself and how I wish to walk through the rest of my life experience.

I assist others, who strive to embrace change for themselves, in how to create and hold space that will allow them greater opportunity for creating a better and deeper connection for themselves.

It is within this space that I coach my clients utilizing a reflective process.

I feel confident, comfortable and truly honored to be a coach. I strive each day to be a better version of myself to improve my ability to do so.

I have never felt more passionate and excited than in this moment of my personal journey.

Thank you for taking a few minutes to allow Me to briefly introduce myself. If you have more time, continue below to discover more.

Are you ready to discover more about yourself?

I am here to help you and others move…

BUILDING BRIDGES FOR ONESELF

With each new client, the bridgework to connect starts with TRUST

I help others better connect with themselves (becoming more aware of authentic Self). I need our ability to connect to be as easy as possible.

I invite you to sit down, relax, and release anything that holds your focus from this moment to better connect with me. If we are to do anything from this point forward together, I need you to be comfortable with me.

It allows me to do my job to the best of my ability while you relax into doing yours!

The better you know YourSelf, the better job you do in helping YourSelf gain deeper levels of insight from within!

As your coach, I will be asking you to become more knowing and authentic of YourSelf.

LEADERSHIP STYLE: "DAC"

A blend of...

Democratic: Consensus decision making by obtaining input of others. Motivates by providing opportunity to participate.

Altruistic: Personalized approaches to meet individual needs. Leads in order to better serve others. Focuses on active listening, empathy, and commitment to building Community.

Coaching: Motivates by challenging others. Creates an environment which encourages each person to develop their strengths. Takes a personal interest in helping others maximize their own success.

One can never fully understand the personal journey of another person. Only knowing to the extent they are open to share and we are open in a desire to know.

I hope this information about me gives you more peace of mind reaching out to talk. I have always believed that so much of what we see in our life is but a reflection of how we are living it out from within.

I need you to be comfortable with me, as your coach, so I might come alongside you, like a traveling companion, and help you more fully discover who you are and how you wish to better navigate the life you are living.
