Life Coaching, Executive Coaching and Career Coaching

Hi!  Welcome to My Life Coach, and welcome to a stage in your life where you are ready and willing to achieve true success and fulfillment. 

Do you...

• Want a more fulfilling life, but don't know how?

• Know what you want to do, but are having trouble making it happen?

• Want to be more effective at work and fulfilled in your career?

• Feel confused or stuck?

• Know you aren't living and performing at your full potential?

• Want clarity?

• Want to start living life as it is meant to be lived?

• Want to feel inspired, happy, confident...Like yourself?

If so, life coaching could be perfect for you, to help you transform your life into one of deep fulfillment and outward success.  Either myself (keep reading) or one of my Featured Coaches will be the perfect coach for you. 

Although my website is intended to serve a wide variety of people, my ideal client has specific qualities.  My ideal client is willing to think and do things differently to get different results.  I often work with executives and managers, consultants, entrepreneurs (including artists), and business owners.  My clients are already quite successful in many ways.  Often there are areas in their lives, however, that clearly are not working well.  Very often, my ideal client is a person of personal integrity that finds themselves in an organization with conflicting values and/or a dehumanizing culture.

I have had wide ranging career experience in science, health care and software engineering.  I also have been a student of personal development and the Life Coaching process for years.  I left my successful corporate career to live in harmony with my own inner values, and to help others achieve the success and happiness that we all deserve.   I believe that we can all contribute the most to our family, our community and our planet when we are doing work that we love and living a happy and personally fulfilling life.  Despite what society, or even experience, might tell you...this is not hard!  It is easy when you remove obstacles, release worry and fear, change limiting beliefs, discover your deepest values and develop an inspiring vision for your life.

Here are some of the issues my clients come to me with:

• I am successful, but not fulfilled, and I need to find out why

• I am successful, but way too stressed out

• This corporate culture is not giving me the opportunity to be my best self

• I am having trouble with work/life balance

• I have personal problems

• I want my business to be more successful

• I am wondering what other careers I might enjoy

• I am "stuck" creatively or professionally

• I feel like I am not making the most of my life

• I want to move my professional or personal life to the next level

• I can tell I am starting to transform, and am brave enough to want to maximize my growth (or have had enough of suffering through the old ways of doing things!)

My ideal clients have the following in common:

• In some ways, they are quite successful

• They are open to new ways of thinking and doing things

• They want to be happier and more fulfilled

• They strive for truth and intellectual honesty

• They have powerful minds

• They have powerful hearts, but may have trouble accessing and using this part of their intelligence to full effect

• They are currently, or have the potential to be, business, societal and/or cultural leaders...A person of integrity that lives life in congruence with their values.

I would describe my life coaching as logical, supportive, practical, intuitive and insightful.  You should be ready to learn a lot about yourself in addition to getting results in your life.

What qualifies me to coach you?

• A coach needs to be present and conscious to stimulate radical growth.  My life is centered around being present...Not just in my coaching, but in all moments.

• I am successfully living my dreams, running my own business, with plenty of free time for family and creative pursuits

• I have been a student of human development since a young age and have been involved in the coaching profession for years, even as I pursued my traditional careers

• I have a had a very busy, highly-ranked coaching business for over seven years

• I have a knack for recognizing the underlying principles behind human behavior, creation, and performance

• I will tell it exactly as I see it

• I will encourage and/or challenge you to determine your own most important goals and values and live up to them

• I will help you discover, for yourself, the intrinsic and extrinsic value of happiness

• I will help you develop your own sources of motivation

• I will ask the questions you never thought to ask, in your life and in your business

• I truly care about your success

• My clients get results

Why choose me as your coach?

• You don't want to experience pain and frustration any more

• You are ready to start living as the person you are meant to be

• You want to enjoy your career

• You want to enjoy your personal life

• You want to reach your potential

• You are intelligent and would relish the opportunity to have high-level, transformative conversations that allow you to get in touch with the best of yourself

• You want to be more prosperous in all ways

• You don't want to settle anymore

• You are ready to step into your own greatness (or at least open to it!)

• You know you are a person of integrity and are ready for your life to reflect that

• You want results

I encourage you to proceed with a free session with me (see below) to discover for yourself what coaching with me can offer you.

Need a better understanding of what coaching is?  Read this:  What is Coaching? (opens in new window).

What types of specific results have my clients had?

• A medium size business owner has expanded his business by 30% in one year, while reducing his stress level and drastically reducing his time spent at work.  Update:  He has now completely turned over the operations of the business to a general manager, and is pursuing more fulfilling activities, while still making more money than ever.

• An executive has greater personal fulfillment, and changed positions to one that allows for more learning and work-life balance.  Update:  He is now writing a book!

• A professional is discovering that worry and anxiety about the future can be replaced with optimism and joy, and he gets better results in his life that way.

• A brilliant consultant has learned to focus on what can be controlled - His own thoughts, emotional focus and actions, and let go of everything else.  He is on a radical growth path, and the work environments he finds himself in have also transformed in the most amazing and positive ways.  He is doing the greatest work of his life, compensated abundantly, and his work makes a significant contribution to society.

• An executive has gone from being bullied and double-crossed at work to a life of fulfillment and joy

What kind of results can you expect?

Of course, every coaching and life situation is different, so nothing is for sure.  But in my experience, here is how things often proceed when people make the inspired choice to engage in coaching...

• You know what you want, and are confident that you can achieve it

• You feel like you are waking up for the first time in a long time

• You are starting to experience joy like you never have before

• Life has a certain flow, everything seems to be working

• You are a connected, balanced, effective person

• You are present, living and experiencing life in the moment

Please take a moment to read what some of my clients have to say:

If you have the sense that this might be something powerful for you, I urge you to follow that hunch and explore this opportunity.  You have nothing to lose, and more than you currently can comprehend to gain.

"When individuals join in a cooperative venture, the power generated far
exceeds what they could have accomplished acting individually."

--R. Buckminster Fuller
