Welcome to Life Coaching

What Is Life Coaching?

“Coaching is the art and practice of enabling individuals and groups to move from where they are to where they want to be.”

“Coaching deals mostly with a person’s present and seeks to guide him or her into a more desirable future.”

Why A Life Coach?

There are numerous reasons why someone might pursue a coaching relationship. Here are a few:

• Discover and develop passions
• Finding a life purpose
• Setting and reaching specific goals ie finances, career, relationships, health, personal development
• Developing a mission statement for one’s life, ministry or business
• Getting unstuck, getting out of ruts, and moving forward
• Finding the courage to take risks

Guidelines for Success

The following guidelines will help to make our working relationship as productive as possible.   

• Scheduled sessions need to begin on time.  agreement includes a set number of scheduled calls/sessions. We will schedule these at mutually agreeable times and you will call me on my private line (or come to the office) at the appointed time, as arranged in advance. We can also meet in person at neutral location if you prefer ie cafe or restaurant.
• Changes: Cancellations need to be made at least 24 hours in advance. If you have a valid emergency causing you to miss a call/session, we will work around it. Otherwise, missed calls are neither made up nor refunded.
• Extra Time: You may contact me between scheduled calls by email if you have questions, struggles, thoughts, reports, etc. I will respond to emails as soon as possible.
• Fees: Payment is made via Paypal and is billed on the first of each month unless other arrangements have been made in advance.
• Code of Ethics: I acknowledge and agree to honour the International Coach Federation Code of Ethics (www.coachfederation.org) re: professional conduct, confidentiality, and conflicts of interest.
• Problems/Praise: Our relationship needs to be based on absolute honesty with each other. If at any time you are dissatisfied with something, please bring it up. I will work with you to resolve any difficulties. By the same token, if you are satisfied, please do let me know that, too, and pass it on!
• Follow-through: It is very important that you apply yourself if coaching is to be successful. Our work will sometimes be very purposeful, goal directed, and dependent on you doing whatever “homework” you commit to do. Your real growth will come from the work you do following up on our calls. 

Here's to living better stories!
