International Coaching Week 2022 Coaching: What's Possible!

I feel lucky to know people with so many different personalities and interests. If I need help with my taxes, I can go to an accountant who loves numbers, if I am hurt, I can see a doctor committed to healing and if I feel stuck, I can talk with a coach who will encourage and guide me through finding the answer I am searching for.

I have been coaching others most of my life, but I didn't have a name for my actions until meeting another amazing coach. The thing in life that fills my cup more than all else is to truly see someone and be with them through the tough moments. I am a coach because I see the possibilities when someone can't find even the first steady step and am there to guide, push, challenge and cheer them on through their journey.

One of the beautiful things about coaching is it can be used to support people through so many different aspects of life. My coaching is built around helping others to slow down, declutter and simplify whatever situation or space they want to work through. Creating calm is a central part of my own life and through coaching, I am able to help others find how intentionality can change the way they walk through their own journey. Life can be beautiful when you are willing to slow down and breathe it in.  

​Today and everyday, I am thankful that we live in a world of complex and interesting people that devote their time and energy to different things and am especially thankful for the coaches in my own life that have cheered me on, held up a mirror when I needed to see things more clearly and helped me to find a place to help others in living more intentional lives.

Asking for help isn’t always easy, but when you let someone with expertise assist you, you will get to your results faster and easier than you may have on your own. You may even end up with a result you didn't know was possible. So whether you need a plumber, mechanic, lawyer or a coach, know that there are amazing people with a variety of interests and experience available to help you. 

As a Coach, I work with clients who are ready to set boundaries, simplify their lives and clearly understand their top priorities in their professional and/or personal lives. They want to learn to say yes to what truly matters and stay focused on those priorities. Let's set up a time for a complimentary exploratory session to discuss your priorities. And if you think that asking for help makes you "weak", think of it not as "help" but as an efficient way to get to your goals!
