What is a Careapist & a Life Coach?
Coaching - Investing in Yourself
Your first questions may be - What exactly is a careapist and what does a coach do?
First, "Careapist" is a term that came to me one day as a way of defining what I feel I'm called to "do." As I see it, a "careapist" is one who provides love, caring, support and encouragement as he/she assists others in moving forward on their path toward a more fulfilling, joyful, loving life!
Through the years I've learned that "who I am," or my being, can be found in my passions and interests in helping others create loving, caring, fulfilling relationships with ... 1) themselves, 2) others in their life & 3) their God.
So then, what do I "do" as your coach?
I hold a space of total unconditional acceptance of you. I see you as magnificent, whole, complete and perfect just as you are! I see your perfect soul, a beautiful creation of God, and help you recognize your strengths, gifts, values and divinely-inspired purpose.
Our relationship is a sacred partnership, where your potential to maximize your own performance is recognized, encouraged and nurtured.
As your coach I help you to learn, to learn about your self, rather than teaching you. I hold the knowing that you have gotten yourself to this point in you life, and you have the answers within you to move forward on this new path in your life.
Through our coaching relationship you will be supported to remove your internal and self-imposed obstacles. As this happens, you will notice unexpected natural abilities & new creative energies emerging.
It is at this point that you then shift from the struggle of “doing” into the ease and effortlessness of “being.”
I love coaching anyone, that feels the same connection that I do in a free sample session. The spiritually-based coaching system that I use moves people forward, regardless of the situation, as long as they are ready, eager, willing & committed to work to create those outcomes.
So what is “not” coaching?
Coaching is not therapy. Therapy tends to focus on healing past experiences and on how someone is feeling. Coaching focuses on the client creating from the present moment, taking action and moving forward toward his or her desired goal, aspiration or need for fulfillment.
Coaching is not consulting. In consulting, the consultant has responsibility for creating the results. In coaching, the client is solely responsible for doing all the work that is agreed to in the coaching relationship.
Coaching is different than just a friendship. A coach listens only with the client in mind. In a friendship, both parties share their life issues and triumphs. A coach is paid to support and follow-up with the client. In a friendship there is generally no organized follow-up. A coach listens to the client without judgment and evaluation. There is generally both judgment and evaluation freely shared in a friendship.
Now that you know what coaching is and isn't, ask yourself:
Do you long to live a purposeful, passionate and fulfilled life – one rich with Success, Joy & Fulfillment?Are you hearing a calling deep within yourself to contribute and make a difference in the lives of others, but aren’t sure how?
Then, let's start working together to create the life that is your birthright, that you and those around you deserve!
Not sure if now is the right time? Only you can answer that, but try asking yourself this:
What is the cost, to you and/or your family, to continue on your current path?
(Your small investment now will pay out in dividends for a lifetime!)
Your investment: $300-$600/month
Not sure how this will fit your life situation or budget?
Then just contact me for a free coaching sample session. This sample session is the perfect opportunity for us to see if there is a connection, a spiritual connection that serves us both and, most importantly, gets you the the life you deserve!
As a way to offer a sample of what coaching is and how I coach, ask me about my "Coffee with a Coach." My availability changes, but I usually have time available one night a week and a Saturday or two each month, specifically to offer someone like you just a "taste" of what coaching with me is like.
Let's work together to create a coaching relationship that encourages, inspires and assists you in creating an authentic New You!
The first step is to make the decision that NOW is the time for change - that NOW is the time to invest in creating the New You.
So go ahead, do something purposeful for yourself ! Invest in understanding yourself better and putting your strengths to work! Sign up, Email me or call my office at 414-745-7544 for your complimentary session.
There are certain key turning points in your life. This could be one of them. But only if you take action right now!
