Life Coaching Sessions 12-Week Program Coaching is usually done by phone, which affords you the opportunity to call from your home, office, or any location in the world. As long as you have access to a phone or a computer, you can reach me and participate in a scheduled session. You will call at a specified time, ready with your agenda for the session. Occasionally, when appropriate, you might meet with me in person. During the first several sessions, we (coach and client) design an alliance between us. In other words, communication and expectations are clearly defined with an emphasis on removing the blocks to individual success. The discovery portion of the session explores each area of your life, including career, education, health, family, friends, relationships, finances, recreation, values, spirituality, and life's purpose. Strategies and time lines are discussed and an initial agenda is set. Communication is via telephone, which is very effective and just as powerful as a face-to-face coaching session. Coaching begins here, and clients often leave these sessions with commitments and action steps. Focus Session  This process occurs towards the middle of the coaching program. It is an important session for you to re-examine your coaching agenda, assess how far you have come in the coaching process, and re-evaluate what has worked and what hasn't worked. It is also a time to review the coaching alliance and set goals for your next course of action. Completion Session (What's Next)  When it has been decided that coaching is coming to a close, it is important for both you and I to feel a sense of completion with a clear vision of your future. Similarly, as in the Focus Session, it is time take stock and celebrate wins, evaluate goals, and create a plan for what is next in your life. This session is conducted during the final scheduled session. Life Coaching Sessions Month-to-Month Program Sometimes, when clients have completed their 12-week program, they choose to continue using a month-to-month format. They are now familiar with coaching and have a strong foundation of how coaching works for them. At this point, they can hire me as their coach monthly, as needed, to continue their journey towards their vision. At any time after completing one of the 12 week-programs currently offered, you can come back to the coaching on a monthly basis. Life Coaching Sessions Attitudinal Healing 8-Week Program for Individuals or *Groups --Would you rather perceive events in your life as peaceful rather than fearful? --Are you willing to explore the present moment rather than what was, will be, or should be? --Do you desire to really be heard? Based on the work of Dr. Gerald Jampolsky and Diane Cirincione, this program offers a way for you to consciously choose to let go of fearful attitudes and embrace a loving and forgiving path. The goal is not simply to change behavior, but to re-train the most powerful instrument of change you possess, your own mind. Thus, Attitudinal Healing occurs when you realize that your own thoughts, feelings and attitudes about people and events are what causes you conflict and distress. Below is a set of Attitudinal Healing principles that are the focus for each session to help people let go of their fears, discard negative and hurtful thoughts from the past, and remove inner obstacles to peace. The essence of being is love. Health is inner peace. Giving and receiving are the same. We can let go of the past and the future. Now is the only time there is. We learn to love ourselves and others by forgiving rather than judging. We can become love-finders rather than faultfinders. We can be peaceful inside regardless of what is happening outside. We are students and teachers to each other. We can focus on the whole of our lives rather than on the fragments. Because love is eternal, death need not be viewed as fearful. We can always see ourselves and others as extending love or giving a call for help. *Attitudinal Healing Groups Attitudinal Healing Groups are small (6-8 people), yet powerful groups coming together with a common focus for an 8-week commitment to themselves and the group to learn, share, support each other, and grow integrating the 12 Attitudinal Healing principles into their lives.  Through structure, accountability, feedback, support, and coaching, each participant will have the opportunity to discard hurtful thoughts from the past and remove inner obstacles to peace.
