What Beliefs Guide My Personal Life Coaching?
I believe a personal life coach's role is not to solve
your problems, or collude with you about how difficult your past makes
it to produce results.
I work in the now, where purpose and a vision of
results drive your actions.
I believe a personal life coach is also open to
what you bring to the encounter. S/he listens carefully to
hear what is below the words.
I believe creating what matters most is a far
better way to achieve success than merely solving problems. I
believe most of life's challenges are not problems to solve; they
are opportunities to create what matters.
I believe Robert Frost: "All great things are
done for their own sake."
I believe commitment is
key to all success. As your personal success coach, I help
you honour commitments you make to yourself. As your personal life
coach, I hold you accountable to act on those commitments.
I believe practice leads to mastery, and mastery
leads to results that matter. As your personal success coach,
I make it easier for you to practice.
Finally, I believe personal life coaching should
be fun and productive.
