What is Coaching All About?

Have you reached a time in your life when you feel you've come to the end of what you can accomplish on our own? Do you feel blocked, stymied, and at a loss as to how to get through the impasse? This is a moment when you can reach out to a Life Coach to guide you through the "wall." At this point, you are ready to embark on an exciting adventure!

What is coaching all about? Above all, coaching is a collaborative relationship between coach and client. The purpose of this alliance is to clarify your vision and then to work with you to manifest it. As your coach, I listen extensively to your thoughts, feelings, and interpretations of your situation, whether it be a business or personal concern. I act as your guide to assist you in uncovering your deepest values, setting your highest goals, and clearing out any inner obstacles that could interfere with their fulfillment.

As a sports coach inspires you to achieve your "win," I am in your corner, working to bring out the best within you, to empower you to attain your life's goals, to steer you back on the path when you veer off it, and to celebrate your successes along the way. Yes, you might reach those goals on you own; however, with my guidance as your Life Coach, your goals will be clearer, your road to attainment will be shorter, and your achievements higher than what you had originally imagined.

Who Could Benefit From Working With A Coach?

All those who are committed to excellence in their career and personal life can benefit from working with a coach. Unlike therapy, which may focus on your past and on why you are the way you are, Life Coaching empowers you to see where you are now and to create your future. This work is based on clarification of your inner values, goals emerging from those values, and fulfillment of your unique talents, passions, and abilities.

Whether you want to improve your performance in your current position, advance to the next level in your career path, change careers altogether, re-enter the workforce, or create more joy, satisfaction and fulfillment in your personal life, working with a Life Coach can make your journey a much more directed and successful one. 

I've always known what I wanted to do, but often struggled in my efforts to achieve my goals. My whole life has changed since Rae has become my Life Coach. She is a master at recognizing potential, bringing it forward, and empowering me to realize my dreams.

I now have clarity and feel strong and confident in building on my past successes. My life has a natural flow and the returns of my work with Rae have been more than I ever could have anticipated. And the process is such fun!

Rae has an uncanny ability to draw out my own wisdom and her recommendations to help me realize my dreams have been right on target. Even the simplest, easiest changes have made a dramatic, positive impact on my self-confidence.

Our conversations are so uplifting, not only for her professional advice, but for her underlying philosophy, which makes so much sense and is harmonious with my own view of the world.

What I hadn't expected was how this process has simplified my life. It gives me great comfort to know that her caring support and expert counsel are right there when I need it.

Working with Rae as my Life Coach has been one of the best investments I have ever made. As far as I'm concerned, she's magic!
