“Being You” Coaching Program

Over my many years of being a personal and professional coach, I have worked hard to develop a program that far exceeds conventional counseling or coaching. The “Being You” coaching program has accomplished that for me.

The goal of this program is to assist you in discovering the best version of you. Ultimately, life requires nothing more of you than to “be the best, most authentic version of you.”

First, you must face up to your personal obstacles and learn how to transform them into personal opportunities. This process is accomplished from the inside out. Self-awareness is the path to self-empowerment.

While this journey of self-discovery will assist you in dealing with the challenges in your life, the greatest reward is in embracing who you are as a capable, confident, and brilliant individual. The more comfortable you become in your skin the more you will experience peace, contentment and fulfillment and be a model of how the world needs to respond to the remarkable challenges it faces.

So, then the all-important first question is, what do you want?

Desired Outcome: What do you want?

Often, at the beginning of this journey most people are more focused on some of their more immediate daily wants and needs. IE, I want financial security. I want a healthy relationship. I want meaningful work. However, it is possible that there are some deeper issues at stake that require your undivided attention and your focused effort. Here are some of the wants that may be driving your interest in this program,

Self-Awareness – self-awareness provides you with insight on what motivates you from the inside out. Having awareness of your deepest thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors is crucial to healthy decision making and a healthy life.
Self-Acceptance – self acceptance allows you to embrace all of who you are, both the dark side (Shadow Self) and the light side (Brilliant Self). Mental and emotional health is dependent on having empathy and forgiveness for yourself.
Self-Care – self-care is prioritizing what you need to be healthy mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
Emotional Intelligence – Emotional intelligence requires you to identify your emotions (developing an emotional vocabulary), feeling your emotions (both painful and pleasurable) and managing your emotions. Emotions come as a package deal. If you want to renew your passion and joy, you must be willing to overcome your fear of painful emotions and take the risk to feel.
Purpose – A sense of purpose begins with modeling healthy behavior to those around you…your spouse, your children, your friends, your coworkers. This requires you to live according to your values and to develop the internal character qualities necessary to be a model. Once you gain confidence in who you are (being), you can focus more on how your (doing) integrates into your purpose.
Healthy Relationships – Healthy relationships are built around healthy individuals. Communication skills that are dependent on effective listening and conflict resolution are built around self-awareness and self-acceptance.
Mental, Emotional Healing – Every program that focuses on personal development must have a component of mental and emotional healing. Two of the emotional skills that need attention are the need to grieve losses and learning how to work through pain.

If these outcomes are more of what you want in your life, the “Being You” program is for you.

The Coaching Approach

The program provides ten one-hour coaching sessions in person in Kelowna, or by Zoom. Each session will include homework questions, often accompanied by summaries. If my clients require an additional check in to discuss immediate questions or issues, I am in favor of that. The value of this kind of approach is that it really keeps the work fresh and immediate and provides almost daily accountability for integrating the lessons into daily life. This approach also allows me to get to know you and build a relationship that models open, honest, meaningful relationship.

I encourage you to join me on this coaching journey. It will change your life.
