"Working with you as my personal life coach is like going to the beach and breathing fresh air."

When you hire a personal life coach, a professional life coach, or an executive coach, you want more than temporary solutions to problems. You want to develop the capacity to clarify, commit to and create what matters-in spite of circumstances and obstacles you face.

You want to develop life design skills and capacities--competence and confidence you can apply to almost anything in life, work, and relationships.

You also want to master a life design framework--an organizing structure-in which you consistently apply your skills in a focused way.

A personal success coach helps you act. innovate, invent, and learn from your experience, so you consistently move in the direction of your dreams.

Most important, a personal success coach or executive coach helps you develop mastery of these processes so you become your own best personal life coach.

Why Bruce Elkin As Your Personal Life Coach?

• Co-Creative Partnering
  • I treat personal life coaching as a co-creative partnership.
  • I help you clarify what matters most, specify what you want to create, and with your permission, hold you accountable for acting on your dreams.
  • My personal success coaching helps you practice, honour commitments, learn from experience, build momentum, and follow-through to results.
  • Together, we celebrate your successes!



• Trust
  • I have 20 years of personal life coaching and life design experience. I work with people from all walks of life, from all around the world.
  • I started and ran three businesses. I founded Canada's leading mountain school and a wilderness-based Executive Seminars program. I helped found the Banff School of Environment.
  • I wrote three books, designed dozens of purpose driven human development programs, and taught in two universities.
  • I taught one of the first life coach training courses in Canada.
  • Most of all, as your personal success coach, I really will help you create what matters most to you.



• Honest, Direct Yet Flexible Approach
  • I'm honest, gentle, and deeply caring, but I can be demanding when I feel it is needed. I will challenge you to create the best results you can create.
  • As your personal coach, I will also be flexible and honour your own learning and working style.
  • Together, we co-create the best personal life coaching approach for you.
  
  
  
• Immediacy of Results
  • A key to my personal success coaching is that I quickly get to the heart of the matter. I see dysfunctional patterns and the structures that give rise to such patterns. As your personal life coach, I help you set up new structures that give rise to functional, successful behavior.
  • Moreover, I help you to recognize and shift those patterns yourself, so you produce desired results with a minimum of conflict, anxiety, and fear.



• I Work With What You Already Have
• I believe your ordinary self is good enough. You don't need to fix yourself, solve problems, or resolve issues before you can begin to create results.



• Consistent, Caring Feedback, Follow-Up, And Support
• Between coaching sessions, I encourage you to e-mail me questions rather than stew or stay stuck. Personal coaching means personal.



• 100% Money Back Guarantee!
• If you follow my program, do all the work in good faith, and don't find my life coaching helpful, I'll refund your money. I want you to succeed and am willing to back up my work. In 20 years, I've only had to honour it twice!
