As a Vision Mapping Strategies Coach, I know that you might wonder whether or not coaching is for you.
These questions might help you decide on the best course of action for you or your business. Remember that you can make an appointment with me for that complimentary 20 minute consultation to discover whether or not a Vision Mapping session is the best choice, and/or weekly coaching sessions.
Are you stuck moving your life or business plans forward? Are you holding a dream or an idea that doesn’t seem to be moving in the direction you desire?
Life can sometimes make us feel like we’re in a rut. Unexpected happenings—changes in jobs, partnerships, health concerns—can definitely slow us down. Or maybe you’ve been working too hard and are just burned out and don’t have the energy to invest in one more thing! With a temporary partner, a coach, you can lay out your ideas and plans and be really heard. An experienced and compassionate business and life coach is someone who will listen, applaud, be honest and then work with you to create an exciting plan to lead you in the direction you long for. I am a dedicated life and business coach with thirty years of award-winning business experience whose main purpose is to support you as we explore, discover and co-create an incredibly passionate and achievable plan of action.
Do you feel like you’re underachieving?
Sometimes we’re doing many things and still achieving to some degree, but it seems like we’re not doing enough. It’s possible that you have very high expectations and then have some challenges meeting your own high standards. And perhaps there is that ‘something’ out there that you feel called to achieve, and you want to reignite the passion and energy that will bring you to a place of brilliance! A coaching partnership will support you in knowing the difference between over-achieving and balancing your life to accomplish what is the most important to you. I would bet that if you’re reading this, you’re probably not underachieving—you just need to get clear on priorities and focus on what you would like to accomplish by this time next year!
Do you ever feel close to giving up?
I sure know this one. I’ve been there a few times. Do you know anyone, including yourself, who has not wanted to chuck their job or other responsibilities at some time? I’ve worked with senior executives in billion dollar companies, homemakers, librarians, solo-preneurs, mid-size company business owners, sales teams, educators, doctors, fire captains and many other people from all walks of life. They all, at one time or another, were ready to simply walk away from whatever the challenges may have been. But I’ll tell you honestly, once they discovered that coaching could help them reaffirm their true values and reignite the passion, they were true believers again…in themselves!
Do you hold a vision that feels unattainable?
“Attainment” means something different to everyone. I’ve never heard an impossible dream! There is a piece of some thing viable in every idea. However, I have been known to tell a person that there may be some sacrifices along the way to make the vision or goal transpire. For instance, maybe you love living by the ocean, but in order to make your dream come true you may be required to live in the Midwest for a few years before you can move back to surf and sand. However again, this isn’t all bad. You can take vacations by ocean’s edge, find a great lake nearby, learn to kayak, meet new friends and build an awesome business or life…and then move again when it’s appropriate.
What I’m getting at is that you may be seeing too many obstacles to your dream, which then feels overwhelming and then you don’t act on the dream and then feel like you’ve failed somehow – before you even move forward! An intuitive and skillful coach will help you sort out every step along the way as you create the building blocks for the exciting end result—which is whatever you desire! If you wonder how I, a skillful and devoted coach with a sense of humor, can support you in accomplishing your dream, just call me for a complimentary session and discover how powerful you feel after taking this first step!
Do you wonder sometimes, “what exactly IS my true purpose in life; what IS the meaning of my existence?
Sigh…sounds like a question I ask myself periodically, because as we grow along our journey, and life circumstances change, we seek different avenues to the same path. Does this sound like a “spiritual” answer? Well, we are spirit contained in a physical body, so it’s kind of challenging to separate our spirit from what we do, or how we be! I wish there were a magic pill we could take to discover the “proper response” to the question of “purpose”.
My answer comes down to occasionally re-examining whether or not I am being of service to others, confirming that a person’s value is more important than money, remembering what my own true values are and questioning how I can do more to help people on a larger scale, globally. I’ve always tried to live by the Golden Rule as it was taught to me many years ago in Methodist Sunday school in Portland, Maine: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” So I ask right here, what is the most important value in your life? For instance, when you get up in the morning, what do you need to feel fulfilled and passionate about life—and if this “whatever” were not present, would you be able to get through the day? I would love to explore this concept with you. Please call me for a free consultation. I am happiest when in honest conversation with others and working with them to succeed with their highest desires.
Do you want to reignite your career/life and need a plan—as a team, company or individual?
Whether you are an individual, team, company, group of girlfriends or married couple, there are bound to be times when you just need to re-inject your life or business with some fun, passion, renewed visions and goals—or simply come to consensus on one or more topics. Perhaps there is a devisive situation and you need a third party to help sort things out. The vision mapping process that I have created is a sure way to get a clear holistic view on exactly what is happening now and what you would like the end result(s) to look like. Then we work together to co-create connecting the now, the challenges, the plan of action, the how-to’s and the desired results!
Perhaps there are times when you feel like you don’t even have a clue as to what’s next!
I really do have clients that don’t have a clue! And this is not a bad thing. I understand this because I have experienced this on my journeys, and I had to figure it out on my own – before there were coaches. Wouldn’t I have loved a professional with integrity, experience, compassion and skill to help me through those scary places?! Would you believe that I’ve never had a client leave my services and still be clueless? If you have read some of the other responses that I’ve written to these questions, you have a strong idea of how I will work with you to create dramatic breakthrough ideas and outcomes…and if nothing less, to instill a passion to go confidently forward – in some direction of your choosing.
My passion is helping you succeed in life and business!
