Co-Active Life Coaching

I am a trained Co-Active Life coach. I have completed 116 hours of extensive core training through the  Coaches Training Institute. This training has provided me with excellent tools to enable my clients to attain direction, balance, meaning and fulfillment in their lives.

What is a life coach?
A life coach is like a personal trainer for your life. We're trained to enable clients to examine personal values and to establish a direction in life that honors these values. People often get "stuck" in patterns and beliefs that prevent them from moving forward toward their dreams. A life coach can help clients to get "un-stuck" by providing alternative viewpoints or perspectives. In life, we often can't see the forest for the trees. A life coach can be a second set of eyes on your path of life. As a strong advocate, a life coach holds the client's dreams and values in full visibility for our clients.  A good life coach will enable the client to live life to their full potential.

What does co-active coaching mean?
The Co-Active coaching relationship is set up as a partnership where the coaching client is believed to be whole, healthy, creative and resourceful. Coaches don't "fix" clients. Coaches don't tell clients what they should be doing though occasionally a Co-Active Life coach may put on a consultants hat. Coaches have the questions and the clients provide the answers. Co-Active coaches empower clients.  Each coaching relationship is unique unto itself. It is a collaboration where the client creates the agenda and both the client and the coach create the alliance made between themselves as equals. The client is in charge of the relationship and focused on getting the results that the client wants.

 What can life coaching do for me?
It can transform your life by enabling you to truly live to your full potential. It can help you to get past erroneous beliefs about yourself that may be blocking you from true fulfillment. It will dare you to dream and demand that you honor your true values to live those dreams.

How does life coaching work?

Initially the client and coach will meet for a "discovery session" where the client and coach get to know each other. The coach will do an in depth interview with the client to discuss values, dreams, goals, etc.  It is at this session that the  alliance between the coach and the coach is created. This session will last from 1 - 2 hours. These sessions are often done in person though they can be done over the phone too.

Most coaching sessions are done by telephone. I like to work at four 30 minute sessions per month with the option to go to 45 minutes if the client desires. The frequency of sessions can range from once a month to several times per week. It can be very beneficial to initially schedule more frequent coaching sessions to establish  positive inertia and to capitalize on the strong motivation which is usually present during the early sessions. 

How long does life coaching last?

I recommend that the client initially commit to 6 months of coaching to allow time for substantial progress and to work through the usual ebbs & flows of meaningful change. Many people derive great benefit from life coaching for years. Of course the client is free to terminate the relationship at any time without obligation.

How much does life coaching cost?
My fees are straight forward and simple:

• $150 for 1 1/2 hour discovery session

• $50 per 30 minute session

• $15 per each additional 15 minute segment
