The Inner Voice

innervoiceMost normal people have an inner voice. This inner voice can say a lot of things to you both good and bad. It often can be a very negative voice that tells you that you aren’t good enough, that you don’t measure up, that you aren’t attractive or worthy of being loved and appreciated. This inner voice is something we do battle with on a daily basis and too often this voice wins and keeps us from being the person we really want.

The inner voice is also something that help drive us to get better, to improve and that is typically a voice we want to listen to and it will help us smooth our edges, help us understand our desires and dreams. Sometimes discerning which of these voices is talking to us is difficult. What is true, what is false and what are we making up in our own minds?

What we really need is people who can help us wade through these voices, give us an eye to see what is real and what needs to be done. If this is you, you aren’t alone and if you need help moving forward because you can’t discern what’s real and what’s not let me know as I would be happy to help.

Why do I need a Coach?

handsPeople often ask me why someone would need a life coach. It’s a great question to ask and hopefully something you might have asked yourself. Here is what I would typically ask someone who wants to know if they need a coach. Is there something in your life that you have wanted to change but haven’t yet been able to overcome? If the answer to the question is yes, they you should consider a coach. A coach and help you navigate the way through your transformation and a life coach doesn’t have to teach you how to specifically accomplish your goals but can help you analyze your progress, your growth and help you achieve your goals. Coaching is an intentional relationship that can assist you in transforming your life into something fuller. Coaching accomplish’s a few things. Coaching helps you focus your energy and efforts into the very thing you want to accomplish. Coaching also helps to create the kind of community in which your goals can happen. Change doesn’t typically happen in a vacuum, you will need others to help you grow. As you consider your next steps or have an area of growth please let me know if you have questions and good luck in your next steps.

Personality Profiles

If you are anything like me, you tend to doubt the validity and most personality tests like the Myers Briggs or DiSC analysis. At least you aren’t sure they tell the whole story about who you are about. However these personality assessments are meant to put you into a box, they are meant to give you an understanding of who you are on a broader level. Not everything will be right but the overview is generally very helpful to me in my approach to the coaching sessions. These profiles are a key element in creating sessions that allow us get the most out of our time. The profile also allows us understand our tendencies and proclivities.
