Does this sound familiar? You’re out with your girlfriends. Everyone is laughing and having a great time. You decide to open up and tell your friends that you’re tired of being single and that you’re interested in dating again. As you continue talking, your friends jump in and they tell you how bad it is out there and that you’re better much better off being single. After a few drinks, they begin to give you unsolicited advice on what they think will help you “land a man”. By the time the evening is over, you realize that you never actually finished what you wanted to say.

 Or

You’re at a conference and it’s the evening of the big networking event. You’ve got your best suit and tie on and you’re feeling confident. You’re determined to meet some people and make some connections. You head downstairs to the conference level. As you walk into the room, you notice the sheer number of people. They all appear to be smiling and having a good time. But it appears that everyone in the room has already paired up or is engaged in conversation. That old, familiar internal voice starts in on you with the same old, familiar lies. You know them by now: “This is a waste of time” or “Networking is just not your thing”. Habit has conditioned you to listen. Before you know it, you’re on the elevator and heading back to your room. Another missed opportunity for growth and development. Later, when you’re alone in your room, you wonder if you’re ever going to break the pattern.

Do either of these scenarios sound familiar to you? Maybe you just feel “stuck” and are looking for a way to change the habits you’ve acquired through conditioning and life experiences. Or perhaps you feel that life is passing you by and everyone else seems to on a better track than you are. If you can identify with any of the things I’ve mentioned, then maybe life-coaching can help you get unstuck or help you change some of these learned behaviors.

The reality is that we all need help, support, and guidance at different stages in our lives. As human beings, we tend to do better when we have someone in our corner. A life coach is different from a friend or family member. As a coach, my job is to be objective, so I’ll listen without judging you. I’ll also avoid doing what good friends often do, like interrupting you in order to give you my advice.

A life coach is also different from a counselor or therapist. Counselors and therapists serve an important role in helping clients work on past issues and hurts. As a coach I’m interested in working with you on your current challenges and future goals.

Please contact me for a free consultation. During our initial consultation, I want to learn about your goals and your challenges. I want to get to know you. The initial consultation is also an opportunity to determine whether or not we are a good match. After all, this is a partnership. I look forward to hearing from you. Be well.
