If you have landed on my page, you are already asking yourself how Life Coaching could work for you.  So, welcome!

Simply put, Life Coaching closes the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

What if I told you that there’s a GPS System for Your Life that would give you the fastest and most efficient way to reach your destination? Just like a car, there is a GPS System for Your Life! You will be the driver, and I, as your coach, will be the navigator to help you find the most efficient way to reach your personal destination. I will guide you to the right route and redirect you if you lose your way.

One of the greatest motivators for change is finally crossing that line between “tolerating” a situation and becoming “proactive” in making the changes you need to be in control of your life.

• Who find themselves alone in their caregiver role with no “instruction manual”

• Who feel helpless to change things for the better

• Who are frustrated and losing their sense of self in the process

• Who are tired, stressed, burned out or at their wit’s end

• Who cannot find any positive meaning for their role as a caregiver

What’s in It for Me (WIFM), The Caregiver?

Good question!  That would be my first question, too.

The benefits of working together: I will help you write a Caregiver Manual designed just for you and the person you are caring for. You will gain control of the situation before you, regain your sense of self, learn how to care for yourself first and find lasting meaning from your caregiving experience. You will have more self-confidence and learn how to secure time away by using outside resources.

You don’t have to do this alone. We can do it together.

Can You Answer YES to Any of These Questions?

• Are you feeling tired and drained most of the day?

• Is most of your day spent on repetitive or overwhelming tasks?

• Do you feel like nothing you do is appreciated?

• Do you feel angry or frustrated in your care-giving role?

• Do you feel alone with your care-giving responsibilities?

What Can I Do for You?

I will provide you with practical and proven tools you can use every day, steps to follow, words to use, behaviors to embrace and resources to draw from for help. I will guide you in finding meaning in your role, regardless of your initial response to being a caregiver. Together, we will make goals and flexible plans.

• Who miss the companionship of one significant person

• Who have lost their job, retired, feel disconnected, isolated and have no replaceable social network

• Who have moved to a new community, feel alone and have no one to confide in

• Whose family has moved away and have no other support system

• Whose care-giving role has ended and are trying to redefine their identity and purpose

What’s in It for Me (WIFM), Who is about to Write a New Chapter and Get Back into Life?

Good question! The benefits of working together: I will help you process what has changed in your life and the toll it has taken on you. Together, we will design goals to redefine who you are now, guide you to a new sense of purpose and assist you in your plan — to meet people, reconnect with the social network you choose and the world outside your door.

For one reason or another, if your life has changed and you now find yourself at the “start line” again, you are not alone. Millions of people from all walks of life and all ages are standing at the line with you.

It’s like riding a bicycle — you have to get on, regain your balance, and remember the feeling of joy at having mastered the challenge.

Can You Answer YES to Any of These Questions?

• Have you experienced a life change that has left you without companionship?

• Do you feel disconnected, isolated and without a social network?

• Do you feel you no longer have anyone you can really talk with and confide in?

• Are you having trouble redefining yourself now that you are no longer a “caregiver”?

• Are you feeling lonelier now than ever before?

What Can I Do for You?

I will share techniques and strategies that have worked for others, time and time again. You will learn new communication skills, gain new perspectives on approaching social situations and create behaviors that will demonstrate a renewed self-confidence.

I will share a lifetime of professional experience with you. My greatest strength is my unique ability to “listen between the lines” and get to the real essence of where you are. My style is relaxed but serious, because I know working together is more productive, more efficient and more satisfying than going it alone. 

I can offer structure, support and tools that can help you get what you want out of life. I can guide you through resolving the issues that have kept you from making the changes necessary for meeting your goals.

Together, let’s reset your Life’s GPS so you set your Goal, achieve your Plan and feel a sense of personal success.
