Part I

This section looks at situations you may be experiencing and their relevance to the help of a coach.

A.

____Does your life feel unbalanced, as though your are putting a lot of time and energy into the things that are not really your top priority and not being able to put enough into the things you really care about?

____Are you already successful, and yet feel that there should be more to life than what you are experiencing?

____Do you have good job skills, and yet feel that you are not getting where you want to go?

____Are you approaching or in the midst of a major life transition, and feeling as though there are no signposts or trails to guide you?

____Are you facing important choices that are difficult to make?

"I have found a great role model in you, as a coach, a woman and an abundantly wise human being."

B.

____Are you working at a job that makes you miserable?

____Do you feel there must be more to life than you are presently experiencing, but feel uncertain which way to go to find your direction?

____Are you doing a job you enjoy, but feeling as though you are not a part of what is going on around you at work?

____Do you often feel unable to act and speak according to your true values and beliefs?

C.

____Do you sometimes feel isolated, as though there is no one you can confide in who will really understand and keep what you say confidential?

____Do you find that when you have an exciting idea, most of the people you want to share it with tend to rain on your parade, often excusing their pessimism by saying that they don't want you to get your hopes up and then be disappointed?

____Do you sometimes feel misunderstood and wonder if you need to improve your people skills and/or communication skills?

D.

____Is your life absolutely wonderful with no problems that you can't handle in five minutes?

____Are you completely caught up on all your commitments, correspondence and cleaning?

____Do you have all the time, space, support and financial reserves that you want?

Feedback

If you had "Yes" answers in:

A. Yes! In this type of situation a coach can help you, if you want to be helped. Most people with the types of problem listed under A who have hired a coach report that their coaches have been a tremendous help to them in getting through these crises. You might even say that these are areas of specialization for the majority of coaches.

Another point is that I can honestly tell you that I have have been through most of these situations at one time or another, and have found my way out of the clouds and into the sunlight.

B. It saddens me that you seem to feel trapped in these difficult conditions.  You may find that talking with a coach would be helpful.  You do deserve a more fulfilling life, and I really believe a coach can help you to head in that direction.

C. Most people would say yes to one or more of these questions at one time or another.  You may well be able to solve these problems on your own.  However, if you can't, or if you want to deal with them more quickly than you might on your own, a coach may be the person who can help you.  Give me a call and let's check it out.

D. You don't need a coach.  In fact, you should probably BE a coach!  Call me to talk about how!

Part II

Part II uses Yes/No answers to look at your readiness to make the best use of a coach's services.

___Can you be relied upon to be on time for calls and appointments?

___Are you willing to do the work, and let the coach do the coaching?

___Do you, deep down, feel that you need to find someone, somewhere "out there," who will fix your life?

___Are you willing to try new concepts and/or different ways of doing things and of dealing with the world?

___Are you prepared to be honest with your coach?

___Are you able to let your coach know what you need, and to be clear if you are not getting what you need?

___Do you accept that no one coach is the perfect match for everyone, and that a preliminary coaching call is important as a way for you AND the coach to discover if you are a good match, as well as for you to learn more about what it is to be coached?

___Do you see coaching as a worthwhile investment in your future and in the quality of your life?

___Do you have sufficient funds to pay for coaching without suffering or worrying about the fee?

Feedback

 For all questions except the third one, if you gave any "no" answers, each one should be discussed honestly with a prospective coach before a commitment to coaching is made.  For question #3, it is the "yes" answer that needs to be discussed.  A high proportion of "no" answers may indicate that you are not ready to benefit from coaching at this time.

PLEASE NOTE

It is important that you understand that

the coaching relationship is in no way to be

viewed as psychological counseling or

any type of therapy.

In the event anyone feels the need for

professional counseling or therapy,

it is that individual's own responsibility

to seek it from a counselor or therapist

who is licensed to practice

in his or her home state.
