At risk of sounding obnoxious, allow me to share a personal observation which will help to serve you in determining if we are a match for success.

 

In my experience, some "Life Coaches"  were damaged, assaulted in some way by life, or have lived through tragedy and strife.  In an attempt to "cure" these personal assaults, they look to right their emotional damage by making others' lives better.  I applaud this and am always glad to see someone take a negative and turn it into a positive!

 

I have read the "life coaching" bios of many. Some, are great people whom - in good faith - do care about helping people. I get that and appreciate it.  Some coaches use a lot of melodramatic hyperbole.  Some claim,  "My inspiration will help you."  Such overtures are not solutions-oriented plans.  Rather, emotionally charged promises that lack mission critical, actions-based strategy.

 

  

                                        I DO NOT coach my in that way. 

                                              That is NOT my process.

 

Full disclosure:  Like many, my path has been one of challenge, difficulty, strife, disappointment, let-down, and depression. The lessons of life have conditioned me to be battle tested and ready to deploy on command. 

 

Most importantly, I have a great life. I do not need to resolve past emotional hardships through the help of others nor do I need to help people to make myself "feel better," as some life coaches may do. I do not speak in the tone of  "rainbows and sunshine," and unlike other "life coaches," do not  get into the sermons of making you feel better about yourself by telling you what you want to hear but, rather, telling you what you NEED to hear.

 

I have overcome difficulty through aggressive ambition, relentless efforts, and a focused, unwavering purpose driven resolve.  I am my client's greatest ally because WE push through hardship and will NOT allow an obstacle to slow us down. Failures happen.  It is what we learn from those failures that will define us!

 

I do one simple thing:  I work to help people disconnect from emotional barriers and focus upon rational, reasonable, and logical solutions to promote situational resolve. Then, we roll out the plan of action and pursue success with reckless abandon!
