And now for something completely different …

I’ve kept you in the dark long enough and some of you have been waiting patiently for me to announce this (you know who you are). 2022 was a BIG year for me: teaching full-time, training to swim the English Channel and around Manhattan, volunteering, caring for family, and … going to school part-time.

Yes, you read that right. In March, after 6 months of 3-hour, twice a week classes, I became a certified Life Coach! It was a lot to add to my already full schedule, but I am SO glad I did it and I am excited to venture farther into this world.

Why Life Coaching? There are many reasons, the primary being I was looking for opportunities to reduce my teaching load to part-time, and to find something I can continue to do when I retire from teaching. I was also inspired by the volunteer work I’ve done as a Stephen Minister for the past 2+ years (you can Google that if you’re so inclined). So, after lots and lots of exploration, I landed on Life Coaching.

What exactly is Life Coaching? I’ve been trying to figure out how to best explain it but … it depends. It really depends on what YOU need it to be! Coaching is for you if you’ve been thinking about:

  • Setting and ACHIEVING goal (or a New Year’s Resolution)
  • Exploring employment opportunities
  • Rekindling a creative passion
  • Managing stress
  • Working on relationships
  • Going back to school
  • Getting healthier
  • Finding work / life balance

How does it work? Here’s a quick primer:

Coaching IS:

  • Based on the belief that YOU are the expert in your life and work.
  • A commitment. A coach will hold you responsible and accountable.
  • A partnership in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximize your potential.

Coaching is NOT:

  • Counselling or therapy, although it can work in conjunction with counselling.
  • An easy “fix”.
  • Expert advise or mentorship.

My website IS on the way, but in the meantime I invite you to book a FREE Discovery call with me to find out how coaching can work for you!

I look forward to meeting with you … Let’s GO!!!
