Who Is My Success Coaching and Personal Life Coaching For?


I work mostly with people who are stuck, stalled, in transition or unclear about their next steps.

I also work with people who are successful — but not at what they love, or in the way they'd love to do it.

Most of my clients want to simplify and enrich busy, stressful lives AND create the next level of personal or professional success.

My Success Coaching approach can help you shift from a less-than-successful problem-solving stance to a simpler, more powerful results-driven creating stance.

My Personal Life Coaching approach helps you manage your moods, build the resilience to bounce back from adversity, and develop the generic skills and structure to create what truly matters to you.

For more about the limits of problem solving and the power of creating see The Key To My Work.



"Your personal coaching is so helpful. Results like creating new clients or hosting a great workshop come easier, with less stress and worry. As a success coach, I'd say you are a success!"

What Kinds Of People Do I Work With?



success-coaching-group

People in transition following divorce, job loss, loss of loved ones, moving, and even the “empty nest” syndrome,

Others mired in soul-sucking jobs, stuck paying for stuff they fear they might not really need or want,

People struggling to find “life/work balance,” only to oscillate (see-saw) back and forth between the two,

Dieters who yo-yo between desired weight and fitness level and heavy and out of shape,

Single moms (and dads) challenged to create a sufficient income and care for their children,

Business executives and managers who flourish in their careers, but flounder in their attempts to create fulfilling family lives, and others who excell at but no longer find meaning or purpose in their work,

Creatives – artists, writers, filmmakers, craftspeople, etc… – who can't make a sufficient living from what they create, or don’t know how to organize their lives and work around their passion,

“Cultural Creatives” who struggle to integrate spirituality with commitment to social activism and the environment,

Professionals — doctors, lawyers, dentists, etc… — who wake up in their forties or fifties, feeling "trapped in a job chosen for me by a naïve 17-year old,"

Aspiring entrepreneurs who have ideas, talent, but lack the generic skills and solid organizing framework needed to turn visions into reality,

Life coaches who invested in training and certification, but can’t fill their practices, or earn a decent income,

Personal Life Coaching Clients

Athletes who suffer potential career-ending injuries, and fear for their future. And others who are good, but don’t yet know how to turn good into great,

Frustrated activists, stuck in problem-solving, and can't see why it rarely yields real and lasting results,

Individuals seeking independence and fear they may have to leave their partner to find it,

People in their 50's and 60's who worry their best years are past, and fear it might be all down hill from here,

Young people in their twenties and thirties who struggle to get a solid foothold in a changing (shrinking?) job market.

Many, many who are doing well, but not at what truly matters to them.


"I worked hard but wasn't getting ahead. With Bruce, I saw my situation wasn't a problem, and 'solving' it wouldn't work. So I learned to create what I want. Now, I have a dream job, a great salary and feel I'm living my life's purpose."

- Ellen Askerton, Trainer/Consultant, Nashville, TN

"Downsized. Couldn't find a job. Felt sorry for self. Bruce helped me clarify what I wanted, then showed me skills for creating it. I now work for myself as a freelance writer/editor. I love it!"

- B.D. Brown, Writer/Editor, Victoria, BC

Who Succeeds With Success Coaching?

personal coaching path

Almost anyone who is:


Willing to leave behind habits that no longer serve them — and develop habits that empower them to create lasting results.

A genuine desire to create results that matter - even if they're not yet clear about what does matter.

Willing to commit to developing their capacity to create.

Trust me as their personal coach, but not become dependent.

Understand creating is not just goal setting. It's where the head, hands and heart come together to create results.

Accept the importance of regular, deliberate practice.

Want a personal coach to help them be accountable to themself.


If this sounds like you, we'll probably work well together.


"I thought I had to leave my husband to be free. But I organized my life around my passion - photographing flowers. I created a small business. I now feel free and deeply love my husband."
