· What do you want?

· How are you going to get it?

· What makes you feel happy and fulfilled?

· How can you have what you want in your life, including pleasure and work?

· What values are important to you?

These are the questions we rarely get asked in our daily lives.

IMAGINE, having someone in your life who is there to:

1) help you find answers to these and other important questions,

2) clarify values

3) articulate goals

4) define strategies and plans

5) hold a vision of you in your full expression and success

6) challenge you to achieve that vision

This person is known professionally as a coach.

Coaching as defined by the Coaches Training Institute is:

A powerful alliance designed to forward and enhance the life long process of human learning, effectiveness and fulfillment.

It is this alliance, this relationship which differentiates coaching from other processes which look similar, such as mentoring and therapy. Coaching inspires the client to design his/her own optimal support system. From there the team of coach and client work together to discover the values and goals that are most important to the client. The clarity gained in this process then informs all other explorations and choices. It is this clarity which makes conscious grounded decision making available to the client in every aspect of his/her life. Goals are then consistent with the individual's values, and the result is a more balanced life.

Peak performers have traditionally hired coaches to spur them on in a clearly directed way, to help them explore the possiblities for an optimal future. You can hire a coach for yourself, to have life and work come easily to you, as you focus on what really counts for you.

Knowing where you stand with yourself is the first step to fulfillment and satisfaction. The opportunity to deepen your learning and create the life you want is the natural outcome of working with a coach.

Generally coaching takes place over the phone so it is not necessary to live in proximity to your coach. If you live nearby, and prefer to work in person, that is certainly an option.

Coaching is a strictly confidential relationship
