Reach new heights through inner wisdom

You will become your own trail guide. Yes, you read that correctly. Believe it or not, you already possess the markings for wisdom needed to define and reach your destination. I will help you access that wisdom from within to realize your greatness while trusting your instincts.
You will learn as you live in real time. Your sense of curiosity will be renewed. You will authentically share your positive qualities with the people you lead and everyone around you. By tapping your innate wisdom, we’ll apply practical and sustainable solutions for your long term success.
Come reach new heights through your very own inner wisdom.
Everyone has a different destination
Sometimes we don’t want to think about new goals or opportunities until we know our precise destination. Don’t let that stop you from starting. Oftentimes we need to do a little exploration first. Here are some possible destinations that we may explore:
Stay
In other words, bloom where you are planted. Sometimes we simply need to recast our personal narrative and approach our world with a new sense of being and doing.
One of my clients did just this. A school administrator who was thinking about a career change, she realized she wanted harmony in her life for the near term before addressing future life changes that were on a more distant horizon.
Switch
This is the most prevalent topic for my clients who are inspired to seek coaching when they sense they are at a crossroads. Some know the destination of their switch; some don’t. It’s all up for exploration.
One of my clients knew she wanted to switch and realized the fullness of this opportunity by venturing away from an uninspiring 9-5 and into her very own corporate communications firm. Another, a stay-at-home-parent who yearned for more (but didn’t want to impact their family), envisioned and launched their arts career in a sustainable way.
Ascend
At certain points in everyone’s life it becomes time to reach new heights. This can be a goal of which we are already aware, or one that is revealed during coaching.
One client pondered whether to stay in his current role or switch to a new company. Through the course of coaching he carved himself a promotion in his current role, negotiating a higher pay grade and more purposeful responsibilities.
Prepare
Ever hear the phrase, whatever got you here won’t get you there? In some cases you might want to prepare for a transition and in others, like a promotion, you might need to build a new toolset.
One client already set her switch in motion when she decided to pursue a new career path. Yet, her inner critic was telling her that she wouldn’t succeed, that she wasn’t the right person for this job. Through coaching, she prepared for this change and entered into her next chapter with confidence and enthusiasm.
“I feel seen by you in a way that I haven’t felt in a long time. I’m amazed you were able to perceive so much from our short time together. Thank you for taking me on this journey. You’ve lit a fire in me.”
