We can let the circumstances of our lives harden us so that we become increasingly resentful and afraid, or we can let them soften us, and make us kinder and more open to what scares us. We always have this choice.
Pema Chodron
I’ve been stuck and alone. Really stuck. Really alone. I found connection and momentum by first listening to my inner, creative voice. It played the same tape reels over and again: Share your story to help others. When I was ready, I sought help by enlisting allies–family, friends, therapists, colleagues, and eventually, my community. It was hard. Really hard. It can still be hard. I want to help you through really stuck, really hard moments.
Are you…
ready to take the next step?
ready for a change?
ready to follow your own path?
willing to leave your comfort zone?
willing to think outside the box?
willing to embrace presence over perfection?
able to commit to yourself?
able to make time for yourself?
able to see your needs as worth it?
Sometimes, to take the next step, you need guidance and accountability.
Individual Coaching
Personal development is first, and most importantly, about personal awareness, honesty, and accountability. Tapping into your authenticity and integrity strengthens your inner-connectedness, which is the bedrock to developing connection and belonging. Whether you’re looking for a new career, figuring out how to accomplish tasks, or maneuvering through a life-changing event, remaining present and pushing through is difficult when you can’t figure out what to do next.
Focus Areas
Personal growth and hardship
Unexpected major life transitions
Mid-life and retirement transitions
Aligning career goals with personal values
Projects: organization and roadblocks
Writing – For publication. Self-empowerment. Mindfulness
I’m certified by the Life Purpose Institute, which is “committed to providing the highest quality of training and support for those who want to serve others and make a positive and lasting contribution.”
The Life Purpose Institute is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), who defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
I’ve completed the The Harwood Catalytic Guide program, which is “an intensive learning experience for individuals who have a deep desire to guide and lead organizational and community efforts that create lasting impact.”
Why Work With Me?
I’ve been there. Shame once kept me from believing I had something valuable to contribute to society. After I began to heal, I integrated into community, first virtually and through writing, and then locally and in-person with a community-wide initiative “that aims to empower community members to take action on the things that matter to them.”
I am a trained listener. I have an instinct to understand people, anticipate their needs, and listen to unvoiced questions.
Achieving goals and aspirations–however small–is not only life-affirming, it builds confidence and creates momentum that otherwise didn’t exist. All of which leads to a sense of belonging and connection with other people–family, friends, and community.
Don’t know your goals and aspirations? No worries! I’ll help you figure them out.
My strengths
Clifton Strengths, to be exact.
Learner
The process of learning, more than the result, is what enables me to thrive in dynamic environments and project-based assignments where I am learning a lot about a new subject matter–like you or your community.
Developer
Being a believer in process over result, I can see the raw talent and untapped potential in others. I can spot small signs of improvement, bring them to the forefront and help you fit them into your goals and aspirations.
Introspector
(Wait. Is that a word?) My natural introspection process–reflection and deep thinking–allows me insight to help others when they are overwhelmed. This process also helps projects in the beginning big-picture phase to move forward without much backtracking.
It’s time.
Free 30-minute consultations available to see if we are a fit. If my specialties don’t quite fit your needs, please reach out anyway. As a creative, I grow and change all the time and so do my areas of knowledge, experience, and comfort zone.
