How to tell if I may be the coach for you?
My experience has shown me that the kind of coach-client relationship which leads to the most satisfying and powerful results are ones where there are a strong alignment in intention, energy and orientation. By this I mean the client is intending to realize is also what the coach feels most called to offer. They share a similar level of energy, where the intensity of their enthusiasm meet and create a powerful drive to move things forward. There is complementarity in how the pair “dance” with each other: yin and yang, love and will, feminine and masculine.
Life coaching work requires methodology and expertise, but it requires intuition and heart, too. Experience alone guarantees nothing because one can repeat mistakes over and over again and learn nothing from them. A coach who cares and has reliable intuition can be much more impactful than a coach with good technique and years of experience.
I hope the above gives you a sense of where I come from and how I approach the meaningful work of life coaching. If you are able to feel or visualize us working together, or you are curious in some way, then I invite you to contact me.
