Life Coaching
What do successful executives, presidential candidates, olympic gold medalists and Tiger Woods all have in common?
A Coach! How about you?
The craft of coaching uses a variety of skills: active listening, powerful questioning, direct communication and designing action plans--just to name a few. For the most part, favorable results are yours to have, but it takes making the decision to get the results you desire.
For many people, working with a coach is a life changing experience--I know this to be true because I too have been coached! Working with a Coach, your perception is often illuminated, goals are clarified and barriers are crushed. The value of working with a coach is that she/he hears you, asks thought provoking questions, adds objective observations, and supports you in developing a strategy to move toward your goals.
For a Christian, there is a different perspective in life missions, ethics, relationships and the decision making process because such things are laced with prayer and seeking the guidance of the Lord. Remember, "Through Christ Jesus all things are possible!"
There is an underlying depth of faith that can only be shared with a coach who is a believer of like mind. A Chrisitan coach walks alongside you providing all that you percieve God wants you to be, do, and become.
Coach Tamara recognizes the power of emotion as a driving force to make or not make decisions. At times, poor, permanent decisions are made from run-away emotions. Emotions can free a person or cause them to shut down. God's word reminds us to "keep our mind stayed on Him and we will be in perfect peace!"
One of the biggest obstacles in accomplishing goals are “bad habits”. Good habits are not the problem. Negative thinking stunts progress. Change your thoughts to change your life...Change your thinking to change your living. When this happens--progress begins. Remember, Christ says "with faith the size of a mustard seed, tell the mountain to MOVE and he shall move!"
Our coaching skills program is a compilation of guidelines set forth by national coaching programs, the Bible, and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
To coach masterfully, you must develop a deep understanding of the power of emotion. You know that every BIG goal naturally leads to the feeling of being stuck because your values, beliefs and habits are being challenged.
You Have More Power Than You Think!
“Single” Coaching Sessions:
Some coaching clients choose single sessions because they have enjoyed an introductory session and want additional coaching, but are not yet ready or able to commit to ongoing monthly sessions. Single sessions are scheduled on a space available basis whereas ongoing monthly clients have an advanced, reserved space on the calendar.
Single sessions can be an effective method to find your way through an obstacle, evaluate and make an important decision, maintain momentum and accountability, and create an alternative coaching plan for you.
Some coaching clients, after being coached for three months or more, will choose to engage in “maintenance” sessions on a regular basis but less than three times per month. Single sessions can be particularly effective in these instances.
In addition, you are entitled to twenty (20) “Snapshot” coaching sessions – that is, (5) 10-minute phone sessions to address specific challenges, questions or opportunities that arise between sessions or your choice of (20) e-mail coaching sessions as an alternative option. Whichever format is the right fit for you--that's the one we will go with!
