What is "life coaching" and how does it work?
Life coaching is based on a high level of collaboration with a goal of helping you be your best self and live a life you are excited about. Using basketball as an analogy, a coach provides you with tools and resources to help you perfect your craft - but it is you that is actually playing. As a life coach we'll work together to do the same thing – help you be your best! We focus on the areas of career, communication and organization because it is our belief that what you do, how you do it and your efficiency are essential components to living the life of your dreams.

When your career lines up with your life purpose and is something you enjoy doing, it changes your quality of life. Your quality of life impacts your output and your life experience. Are you someone who knows you have skills and abilities but need help connecting the dots? Let us help you show the world what you have to offer! We can help with how you present yourself on paper, presentations with potential employers or clients and business associates, and fine tuning your current career or making a career change. From developing resumes and cover letters, generating business plans, and business expansions – use our career services to get the job of your dreams.

Communication is paramount in every relationship – your business relationships with clients and business associates, as well as your personal relationships with family and friends. Sometimes it is a matter of how you say it, other times it is a matter of what you say. We will work together so you can talk so people will listen, and listen so people will talk, improving your communication skills so that you have desirable outcomes in both your personal and professional endeavors and relationships.

Everything changes when you are organized – whether it's knowing exactly where to find the socks that match your sweater or having every document for your presentation ready the day before – how we spend our time and energy shows up in our daily interactions. Do you want to walk into a meeting, interview or presentation knowing you have all of your affairs in order, confident and ready to go? We can help you get organized and dot every "i" and cross every "t"! We can help you optimize your time management, project management and file management so that you know what you have and where to find it and operate more efficiently. Spend less time shuffling items and more time on what's important to you.

What's the difference between coaching and therapy?
Therapy helps you address and resolve problematic behaviors and specific concerns, and heal and gain closure from your past. Coaching looks at how your past currently impacts your life, but focuses on moving you forward and works with you closely as you move forward. (Yes – some people have both)

Who is coaching for?
Coaching is for anyone who is ready to move and could use some support in doing so. Below are some examples of what a person who could benefit from coaching might experience:

	I'm ready to take my career to the next level
	I'm not living up to my full potential; I'm ready for a change
	I need more life balance
	I feel stuck – I've lost my motivation and I want to enjoy life
	I want to start my own business
	I feel overwhelmed and unorganized
	I'm ready to stop complaining, change my limiting beliefs and start making some things happen
