My PHILOSOPHY

Unlocking Potential: My Philosophy for Guiding You to Your Best Self

You’re unique, resilient, and ready for change. Let’s assess if we’re a fit to unlock the best version of you.

Should I be your life coach? Maybe I should; perhaps I shouldn’t. I’m not going to be the best for every person. If I’m not for you, we would both be better off with you working with someone who is. For us to work together, we must both determine we have a good chance of success. My goal is in every session to return several times more value to you than you pay to me in money and by spending your precious time with me.

I want to know you’re someone who truly wants to make a change.  I believe you are a powerful, resilient person. You are probably far more capable and resilient than you realize.  I’m looking for people who make a decision and then take action. I know you’re one of those people because you made a decision that led to the action that landed you on this page. We arere off to a good start! We can’t control other people. We can’t control our circumstances. I want to focus on what we can control, and that is you. Not even I can control you. You are the only one in charge of you. You are the expert on your life. My goal is to help you realize that and remove whatever is keeping you from being the best version of yourself that you can be. If you work with me, we will identify what you want in life, develop a plan to get there, and work that plan, including me holding you accountable for doing your part. I don’t want to create dependence on me. I want to help you rely on you. 

You’re a powerful, resilient being. Let’s bring that out of you.

How We Will Work Together

We will work together to assess who you truly are and what you genuinely want out of life. Unless you hire me for something specific like dealing with grief or small business consulting, we will look at seven essential areas of life. Here is the basic framework I use:

  • Assess what in your life is out of balance-  What needs more attention? What may be taking too much of your focus?
  • Examine your limiting beliefs-  What beliefs might be holding your back?
  • Examine your Core Values &  Core Beliefs-  We’ll determine what you want to achieve and what things are important to you.
  • Set Goals- based on the above work, we’ll determine what your goals and strategies will be.
  • Make a plan- if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail. You cannot get where you want to be without a roadmap.
  • Work the plan- we’ll continuously re-assess where we are. We’ll look at what is working and what is not working. I will be your accountability partner.
