Wholehearted Life Coaching

Personal, leadership, faith-based coaching.

Life Coach Word Cloud Concept in red caps Wholehearted living is really about living courageously. It’s about pushing past all those things that inhibit, undermine, and distract, us and cause us to live life tucked in.

Wholehearted Life Coaching is about helping you find your focus, embrace your uniqueness and respond to all the ways God is inviting you to live more fully alive.

What is Coaching?

Professional coaching is a powerful, personal, transformational tool. Your custom coaching experience will propel your life and leadership to levels of effectiveness and richness you might not achieve on your own.

Coaching helps move us out of a place of complacency, promotes self-discovery and awareness, and provides support to help you move forward with an agreed plan of action and follow through to get you where you want to go. A Coach will challenge and hold you accountable to be the best person you can possible be. Fish Jumping

Everyone needs a Coach!

Each of our lives is marked by this desire to live wholeheartedly. We know there is more to life than we are experiencing. Many times, however, we just settle back into our comfortable routines and never really push ourselves to find out what exactly that “more” is.

What if you had a guide to help you get where you want to be? That’s where coaching comes in!

Here’s what Wholehearted Life Coaching offers you:

As your Wholehearted Life Coach, I’ll help you:

Discover what change is most needed in your life right now.
Then I’ll help you design a plan to achieve those things.
We’ll work with you to eliminate any obstacles or roadblocks that stand in your way.
I’ll partner with you to hold you
Then I’ll celebrate with you!

It could mean:

…. you have the courage to have that conversation

…. or that you change direction in your career

…. or start your own business

…. it could mean you reconnect with your deepest passions

…. you might find yourself starting a new hobby

…. or enrolling yourself into that course you have been thinking about

…. or starting that book you’ve always wanted to write

It’s different for everyone.

Step forward and make this small but significant commitment to cultivating your wholehearted life.

My Coaching Convictions

My coaching convictions can be summed up like this –

The Holy Spirit is already dynamically and creatively at work in your heart: calling, teaching, redeeming, healing, guiding you…and so much more. My job is to come alongside of you and help you discover and then respond this on-going work of grace. I consider myself a partner and guide on your faith journey.
I trust your ability to hear the Holy Spirit for yourself and to think for yourself. I will assist your ability to listen and discern where you need to be. Your own insight is much more powerful than my advice.
I coach the person, not the problem. Coaching is not about “fixing.” I am more interested how you can develop the skills and rhythms needed to live from a place of self-awareness, clarity, confidence, and courage.
I follow your agenda. You are the expert, not me. We start were you are. I do not come to the coaching relationship with a prescribed plan or agenda. I don’t know what God is doing in your life but desire to walk alongside of you as you self-discover what your next steps are.
I genuinely care about you and earnestly desire for you discover and experience wholehearted living. You will not be treated as a “project” but as a fellow pilgrim on a journey to discover a way of living that is congruent with your deepest desires.
The hard work is yours, not mine. I believe you are capable of stewarding your own life. Follow through on your part on agreed plans of action are essential to sustained growth and transformation.

How Does it Work?

What will you love MOST about coaching? 

Self-Discovery. Adjusted Perspective. Action-planned. Soul-shift. Life change.

Are You Ready for Life Coaching?

Ask yourself:

Are you feeling unsatisfied, stuck or you’ve run out of options in some area of your life?

Are you living a good story or are you just running with no direction or purpose?

Do you feel like you have way too many options and you have no idea which way to go?

Are you living a guarded or cautious (maybe even fear-based) life and you’d like to take your foot off the brake and step on the gas?

Do you set goals and never attain them?

Are you wasting time and energy dealing with negative emotions that keep you from living a healthy joyful life?

Is unforgiveness, anger, fear, grief, or bitterness standing in the way of having loving relationships?

Do you have this nagging sense that there’s more…more for you to do…more for you to be…more for you to experience in your primary relationships?

Are you ready to be honest, to go deeper, to explore new perspectives and possibilities, or to be challenged? Are you ready to take responsibility for your life?

Would you like to experience the benefits of having a support structure for change; a thinking partner, a cheerleader, a confidential/safe listener, a questioner, a truth-teller, a co-explorer of your life’s terrain?

If you answered “Yes!” to any of these questions, coaching may be just what you need!

Coaching vs. Counseling

Life coaching is not professional therapy. It’s not about an expert telling you what to do. It’s not looking backwards. In coaching you, the client, are the expert. It’s about self-discover. Coaching focuses forward and helps you identify where you want to go (clarity), discover key issues, determine priorities and evaluate action steps.

What would a typical coaching session look like?

A typical Wholehearted Life Coaching session will include 9 Significant Steps to guide you towards living a passionate, wholehearted life:

Introduction – I will briefly share some key agreements about our coaching relationship.

Client/Coach dialog – I will create a safe, listening environment to let you do thinking out loud and to bring self-awareness about where you are and where you want to be.

Identify – I will help you identify a specific focus or desired outcome that is actionable.

Coaching questions – I will ask open-ended questions to aid in self-discovery, clarity and priority to keep you moving forward.

Generate – I will help you generate and evaluate multiple potential options to reach your desired outcome.

Create an action plan – I will help you decide which course of action you want to pursue. We will develop an agreed upon action plan with practical and reasonable goals.

Remove barriers – There will be obstacles to your goal. We will anticipate and plan for obstacles.

Discuss an accountability plan – I will help you identify and develop a system of support, encouragement and accountability.

Review – I will have you review the plan you made and actionable steps you will take this week.
