I’m not going to help you work harder for the life you want to live, I’m going to help you make the life you’re already living work better for you.

I’m not going to ask you to implement any changes or take any actions until we’ve found a way to look at it that excites you. We will take everything you think you have to do and either find a more enjoyable way of doing it or find a way to not need to do it all. You will definitely change in big ways, but those changes will occur in the way you think—before filtering down into your actions in behaviors.

My coaching style is quite different to what most coaches offer. I am constantly creating new processes and ways of looking at things to help empower my clients. As I’ve shared before:

I know there has to be a more loving, joyful way than to work hard and settle for the fruits of our labor, while missing out on the fruits of our love.

It is your individual, loving, joyful way that I seek to help you find.

I want to customize everything I offer to meet your specific desires. I believe in the habit of “Seek first to understand, then to be understood.” I want to offer you whatever I can from a joyful place of non-judgment and help you find loving, gentle ways to connect with your true passion and desires in life.

I especially love working with people who are going through rough times, because the worse things are, the greater your desire is to find something better. And that great desire creates a powerful asking that almost summons things through me that otherwise might have never come out.

I also want to maximize my ability to provide you with residual value.

When I have a powerful interaction with someone, it lingers with me. New insights trickle in for days as I ponder what was discussed and find new ways of looking at it that lead to even more joyous ways of forging ahead. So part of the value I provide is in the ongoing dialogue that naturally follows a deep and powerful conversation. I want to encourage the people I work with to asking questions, opening up and sharing their journey, so we can nurture the new person they’re becoming and leverage the momentum we’re building together.

This is how I see it when I play things out in my mind:

Our initial session, or sessions, creates a big spike in growth and understanding, and then things gradually tail off as you integrate all the new things you’ve discovered about yourself. But the empowering beliefs and new insights that you gain stay with you and stretch off into eternity.

I want to deeply touch people and move them in a way that awakens them to the life they’ve been creating all along. I want to help them find a loving, joyful way to step into that life. And then I want to sit back and watch in awe as I witness the person they become.

Five Things I Bring to the Table

Insight:

I see things extremely clearly and I’m good at communicating that clarity to others. I have a knack for understanding things and getting to the heart of the problem right away. I will guide you past what you think you “need” to do, to what you actually will do. I will help you skip the phase of knowing-what-you-need-to-do-but-not-doing-it-and-thus-beating-yourself-up and go straight to “Ah-ha! This is what works for me! This is something I can really sink my teeth into!”

Problem-solving:

I see past people’s hangups and through their mental blocks to find joy-centered solutions to vexing problems. I will turn ideas on their head, break or bend rules, challenge common sense and find ways to make the seemingly impossible not only seem possible, but sound like something YOU can do for yourself. In short, I take situations where you’re faced with only a few undesirable options and generate mass amounts of alternatives that will empower you to choose a way that works for you. There’s no greater reminder of how capable and powerful you are than discovering an exciting way to move through what previously paralyzed you and actually have fun moving through it.

Fearlessness:

Courage is acting on thoughts that challenge what you believe. Fearlessness is using thought to change your beliefs prior to acting. While courage can dispel fear, fearlessness transcends it. You can get over your fears by acting on them one by one; or you can get to the heart of the problem by uprooting the beliefs that create them. Why waste time constantly taking your power back from your fears when there are ways to actually stop creating them? Facing your fears is a form of busy work. You can spend a lifetime facing your fears and thus live a life guided by fear; or you can invest your time in transcending your fears and live a life rooted in love. I help people do the latter.

Non-Judgment:

It doesn’t feel good to me to judge others, so I’ve learned to release judgment almost as fast as it comes in. I have a talent for reframing things so that you can reclaim your power from whatever uneasy situation you find yourself in. Not only that, I will help you find the gift in what others might try to make you ashamed of. My general rule is, “If others will judge you for it I’ll probably love you for it.” I truly love people for what makes them special or even weird. While others look for ways that you’re similar to them so they can relate to you, I look at your uniqueness and use it as an inspiration to discover what you’re exemplifying in myself. If shame or guilt are holding you back, I can offer the unconditional love and acceptance to help you release them.

Imagination:

I’m extremely good at projecting myself into situations I’ve never been in before and seeing them as if I were actually living them. This makes me great at helping people through change, uncertainty and situations they don’t think anyone else can relate to. If you’re in a unique situation, I can project myself into your situation and give you feedback as if I was actually there living it with you. This also makes me a great person to bounce ideas off of since I can project your idea into the future and give you feedback as to how I see it turning out. My presence can add clarity and composure to your uncertain future, and help you move forward with confidence and peace of mind.

7 Reasons Why You Have No Excuse Not to Hire Me as a Life Coach

1. “I don’t have enough time.”

The work we do together focuses solely on changing the way you think. I’m not going to ask you to do things you don’t want to do. I’m going to focus on helping you change the way you think so that the results that naturally spring up from your actions change, and over time your inclination to take more helpful actions increases.

I offer passive benefits: words that stay with you, ideas that you want to ponder while you’re driving or taking a shower, insights that you can apply right away that will give you a more joyful way of doing whatever you’re doing.

I’m not here to get you to work harder, I’m here to help you work smarter. And smart feels good the whole time you’re doing it. You’re not sacrificing your now to improve your future, you’re improving your now to rewrite your future.

1a. “I’m overwhelmed and don’t want to add anything more to my already full plate.”

If you’re feeling overwhelmed it’s because you have not given yourself the freedom to quit what isn’t working. That’s something that can change in our first session. I’ll not only explain to you all the reasons why it’s in your best interest to let go of the things that are holding you back, but I’ll give you all the logical arguments required to gracefully explain your decision to anyone that’ll be impacted.

When you feel trapped it’s because you’re somewhere you don’t want to be and you can’t find a way out. There are two ways to undo this: find a way to better enjoy where you are, or find a way to get the heck out. I’ll help you work both ends of the equation to ensure that you’ll end up in a better place than you started no matter what decision you make.

2. “I don’t have enough money.”

Then get creative. You have more to offer the world than the amount of money in your bank account. Find a way to convince me why what you have to offer is worthwhile. If you don’t think you have anything worthwhile to offer, then keep brainstorming. You might be dismissing some of your most unique talents because nobody else does them and thus you haven’t assigned any value to them.

If you can find a way to share your passion with others, I’ll find a way to share my passion with you.

3. “I don’t want to be judged.”

We’ve all made mistakes, and worse, we’ve all been told we should be ashamed of some of them. But I don’t care what laws, commandments, or taboos you’ve broken (or continue to break). I believe in the power of desire. If you want it, I want to help you experience it. If you don’t want it, I want to help you experience something different.

I put a standing challenge out to the world: If you can offend me, I will congratulate you. It doesn’t happen often (if ever) but if you can do it I will sincerely thank you, because you will have helped me to grow. I want you to be yourself, warts and all. Because most of the things we’ve been taught to believe are our warts are actually the experiences and character traits that shape us into the amazingly unique individuals we are.

If others will judge you for it, I’ll probably love you for it.

4. “I don’t know what I want.”

If this is the case then you’ve probably been trained to live outside of your passion and below your potential. I’ll help you correct course on both. You don’t need to know what you want to know when you’ve found something better, and finding something better is my specialty. I’ll help you dig deep into desires you didn’t even know you had to present you with a buffet of betterness to relight the fires of your desire.

5. “I don’t like any of my options and don’t want to be pushed forward.”

That’s fine, I don’t want to push you either. What I want to do is reexamine your options and create better feeling alternatives; to afford you a perspective that allows you to see opportunity where you once saw obligation; and to see everything you feel you have to do in terms of the desire that it’s meeting within you, so that you start to see everything in terms of how its serving you and your life begins working for you, rather than you feeling like you’re constantly working for it.

6. “I won’t be able to retain all the insights I’ll gain.”

All of our coaching sessions can be recorded in mp3 format and emailed to you at no additional charge. You can listen to anything that comes up over and over again until it fully sinks in. You don’t have to worry about missing a thing because it’s all there for you whenever you want to hear it again. This means we can use our sessions to keep moving forward without having to figure out where we are now.

7. “I don’t need the coaching (maybe if I were struggling…).”

Nobody needs to feel amazing. Nobody needs to live passionately. Nobody needs to create the life of their dreams. The question is: do you want to?

Most of us were raised with a scarcity mindset to believe that we had to justify everything we wanted through the guise of needing it. If it wasn’t absolutely essential, it was essentially excessive. It was wasteful to have when others didn’t. It was selfish to want what others needed more of. It was arrogant to believe that we were worth more. What happens when we think this way is that we collectively crowd around the things we want believing we’re not yet worthy to truly have them. “Surely someone else must need it more,” we say to ourselves; meanwhile nobody takes advantage of the opportunity.

Don’t let that happen to you. If there’s something you want, go for it. If you’re ready for help, I’m here.
