PERSONAL LIFE COACHING
The International Coach Federation's Definition of Coaching:
"Professional Coaching is an ongoing partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Coaching accelerates the client's progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are today and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be tomorrow."
My Vision Has Become A Reality
My personal experience with the coaching process helps me crystallize my purpose and the vision of the type of environment I desire to live in. This is what I wrote in December 2002:
"My purpose is to live life in a harmonious, natural environment, nurtured by nature and clean living, where I can deeply connect with my soul; to touch others lightly from my heart so they may open their hearts to themselves and to those around them."
Although it seems like a miracle, I now live in the magnificent red rock country of Sedona, Arizona and have opened an office in the Village of Oak Creek.
Follow Your Dreams!
