A life coach is not a friend who will commiserate with your self induced suffering. A life coach is not a substitute for a therapist who will treat acute mental disorders and diseases. A life coach will not endlessly explore your past or allow you to retell your painful life stories as if they’re still the cause of your discomfort.

Life coaching is not cheesy. It’s not based on something shallow or unscientific. It is more often than not, a game changer for good.

Vicki Brock, a coach whose doctoral dissertation had a major influence on the coaching profession, says the following: “Coaching came into existence to fill an unmet need, which coincided with the shift away from a model of psychological illness and toward the humanistic idea of wellness. And growth.”

I often refer to prayer and promptings. While I don’t teach doctrine from my religion, I do sometimes suggest prayer and being open to hear and receive revelation for your life and to answers that come from a divine source.

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I believe in the power of prayer and in the Holy Ghost. I know when I pray I receive answers to those prayers through thoughts and feelings that come through the Holy Ghost directly from my Heavenly Father. I also believe in the unconditional love our Heavenly Father and our savior Jesus Christ has to offer us.

The journal is an incredible tool to help you uncover beliefs about yourself. It is an important part of my workshop because as daily journaling becomes a habit, I will teach you how to actually self-coach yourself--and learning how to coach yourself will open the door to possibilities you didn’t even know existed. So it is important that you download and even print the journal/worksheet portion of the class.

Yes, you will have 8 weeks to complete the 6-week class. That gives you space for vacations and super busy weeks.
