LIFE COACHING IS ABOUT HELPING YOU TO:

• Take a really good, honest look at where you’re currently at in life (Self-examination & assessment)
• Figure out exactly where you want to be down the road in the future (Vision development)
• Chart out a detailed map of how you’re going to get there (Goal setting: short & long term)
• Find the personal resources you need to make the journey (Empowerment & motivation)

My job as your Life Coach is to help you find a life path that fully leverages your passions, abilities and talents while honouring and accommodating your health challenges.  Unleashing your full potential is my primary goal but building your confidence, raising your level of self-awareness and challenging you to grow your comfort zone along the way is all part of the journey.

Ultimately, YOU determine where the coaching will take you because it’s YOUR life but I’ll be here to help you explore all options available to you.

My role is to be a good listener, a sounding board, cheerleader, mentor, confidante, friend, motivator and energy source.  Teaching you how to take self-care seriously and listen to your body will be high on our list of priorities until you’ve got a firm handle on giving yourself permission to pace your efforts effectively.

I will coach you through the evolution of your growth process one step at a time, fully supporting you every step of the journey.  We’ll find creative ways to remove any roadblocks we encounter along the way.

COACHING VS COUNSELING

Coaching and counseling are similar in that they both require a regularly scheduled investment of time and energy; but that’s where the similarity ends.

Counseling (or therapy) generally focuses on the past and healing; whereas coaching focuses on the present, the future and your personal growth.

Oh, and one more thing… Counseling generally happens face-to-face, in person whereas coaching happens on the phone! – This saves energy, time and money in travel and scheduling. You’ll find that, as others do, face-to-face interaction isn’t necessary for a positive coaching experience.

BENEFITS OF LIFE COACHING

Why would you want to hire a coach?  What benefit would you experience as a result of working with a coach?  Well, if you’re motivated to make the most of the opportunity and take the actions necessary to maximize your quality of life, here are just a few examples of the benefits that you might experience:

• A healthier, more accepting attitude towards the prospect of living life with a chronic illness or a disability, enabling you to make the absolute most of your life, in spite of your health condition.
• The ability to give yourself permission to value, enjoy and practice ultimate self-care and proactive pacing.
• The confidence level necessary to share your health and personal needs with close family members.
• The knowledge and communication skills needed to educate those who need to know what to realistically expect from you, such as friends or an employer.
• A significantly deeper level of self-awareness that comes from guided, focused self-examination and results in value-based decision-making and passion-driven life planning.
• And finally, new levels of personal growth and tangible successes that you would never have dreamed possible prior to having the support of a coach in your life.

AS YOUR COACH, I’LL PROVIDE YOU WITH:

• The support you need to hold yourself accountable to manifesting the balance in your life required to achieve your own personal level of optimal health.
• Guidance and direction on how to find the information, resources and knowledge that are essential to making informed choices about treatment options, lifestyle choices and wellness practices.
• Unconditional acceptance around whatever choices you have and will make for yourself.
• A responsible, reliable source of fresh perspective, objective feedback and relevant clarifying questions.
• The complete confidentiality and respect that you deserve.
• Inspiration and “Ah Ha!” moments that will stimulate your imagination and desire to seek more of everything you enjoy in life.
• Motivation to set realistic and achievable goals for which progress can be evaluated.
• The structure for reviewing your progress on a regular basis and confirming, revising or establishing new goals.

My role will never be to judge you but rather to mentor you, guide you, inspire and motivate you to make the healthiest choices possible for your optimal wellness and personal fulfillment in life.

Do these benefits and supports sound like things you’ve been missing in your journey with chronic illness or disability?

If so, then read on and find out how easy it is to get started.

Before Coaching: . “Creatively, I have thrived when my life has been chaotic, but I would love to be able to write without having drama in my life.  I have worked so hard in other areas of my life and have been successful, but no matter how hard I try I haven’t been able to succeed with this.” . After Coaching:“I’ve finally regained my passion for writing again and have overcome my fear of showing others my writing.  Now I have my writing posted online for everyone to see. I am more convinced than ever that I need to pursue writing as a living. “Coaching has taught me that I need to push past the fear and move out of my comfort zone.  This lesson carries through to all areas of my life.  It was always a pleasure speaking with you, Trish; you made the whole coaching experience incredible!” Belinda W. lives with multiple heart conditions, in Toronto, Ontario

GETTING STARTED

You start by setting up a complimentary consultation with me.  Once we’ve connected, I’ll email you to negotiate a possible day and time for our no obligation initial session. When you’ve confirmed a day and time, I’ll send you my “Get Acquainted” exercise to complete and return to me prior to our session.  Your responses to this exercise will give me a snapshot of which areas in your life you’re interested in working on.  At that point I’ll also send you my “Programs and Fees” document.

Then on our pre-determined day and time you’ll give me a call to connect for your consultation; your free sample coaching session.  During that call we’ll get to know each other a little while we review your exercise results. Our objective will be to come up with some “next steps” for you to think about to move forward from that point.  After that first session you’ll have a better idea of whether I’m the “right” coach for you. By that time you’ll also have had a chance to review my various coaching programs and fee scale so you’ll know which options will best fit your lifestyle and budget.

Want to know more about me?  Visit my About Trish page and read about my life and what brought me to coaching and decide for yourself if I’m the coach for you!

 

 If on the other hand, you’re already sure you’d like to connect with me directly, then go on over to my Complimentary Consultation page night now!

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
