The Audacity Expert

Coaching is a transformational process that helps you on your journey to waking up to life and being the person you have always dreamed of being. It is about assisting clients in making plans for their lives, identify goals, creating action plans, and moving forward. And coaching is a way to do so; to rid yourself of negative thoughts, limiting beliefs, roadblocks, etc. so that you are a little lighter. A true coach realizes that they are not the ones affecting change in your life - and that they are there to assist you in demanding of your life the answers that you need to fulfill your purpose and to reach your dreams. Coaching helps to change the energy level behind your dreams so that you can see yourself having already fulfilled them and live as if they have already taken place. Coaching holds the client responsible for doing the work necessary to meet their goals and the coach helps the client to achieve this by coming up with an appropriate plan that the two work on together. A coach is also there to celebrate with the client when said client achieves a dream or goal. This is done because it is in celebrating ourselves and our victories that we give ourselves permission to realize that the goal has been fulfilled and that it is time for us to demand more. A true coach gives honest feedback and always stays elevated a few levels above their clients as this gives the clients something to aspire to as a coach never shows up for or participates in a client's pity party.

Just as a sports coach helps an athlete to become the best player they can be in the sport of their choice, a life coach helps you to become the best person you can be in the life of your dreams. Life Coaching helps you to:

Coaching helps anyone who is on the road to affecting positive change in their lives. Many people who are on top in the games in their lives have coaches; and this is because they have come to realize that coaching helps them to maintain the mindset necessary to being on top and staying on track with their purpose. If you are in a place in your life where you are ready to acknowledge that the things that you are doing are not working, or that you can see the limiting beliefs or other issues in your lives that are not allowing you to remove forward then coaching is the right thing for you. But not just any coach. Make sure to take the time to interview each coach, including me, as not everyone makes a perfect fit. The best way to determine this is to take advantage of a free consultation or coaching session with a potential coach so that you can ensure that you two are on the same page. This is also a great time to determine if you are comfortable enough with your potential coach to ensure that the benefit of coaching with them outweighs the risk.

While coaching has been inspired by psychology and does utilize certain techniques originally developed in the field of psychology, coaching is not for those with psychological illnesses or people under the direction of a psychiatrist or mental health professional for a moderate to serious mental illness. If you are suffering from a deep depression or any other mental illness, it is best that you first seek the counsel of a mental health professional before continuing forward with any coach. And yes, there are definitely times where the two professions can work in tandem. There are many in the mental health field that are getting their certifications in the coaching as they now realizing that coaching is a huge compliment to the services they are already providing. If you are otherwise healthy mentally, coaching can have more immediate benefits to you than counseling, as coaching is about immediate results and not so much about your past.

While coaching focuses on the present, there are times when the past will need to be taken into account as you will need to understand what happened in your life to shape you into the person that you presently are. And coaching is not a consultation session about your life. It is not up to the life coach to give you the answers that you seek. It is for the life coach to ask you the right questions for you to figure out your life. So, if you are ready to give up those thoughts and beliefs that do not benefit you and to live your dreams while challenging life and demanding all that it has to offer you, then coaching is the road for you.

Just as a professional athlete needs a coach and trainer to help them to maintain their personal best in their sport, you should hire a life coach to help you to maintain your personal best in your life. Our own individual life conditioning process does its best to tell us daily who we are supposed to be. Often times, this is a self limiting, negating conversation because the you of your past is not able to see the you of your dreams. It is my job to help you to bridge that gap in order to move forward, reclaiming the dreams in your heart and living the life of those dreams. Through our work together, I will help you to stop looking to your past to show you how to respond to a situation in your present, but to look at yourself in the mirror of your dreams to respond in a manner to guarantee results.

At my very core I am a motivator; one who believes that we are all capable of achieving our life's purpose and passion, regardless of what curve balls life has thrown us throughout the course of our lives. My main purpose in coaching is to be the mirror for my clients to look into when they are ready to do the work to reach their dreams. Without an effective mirror we will never see who we truly are. And to see who you are you have to be ready to make a commitment; a commitment to work out, get stronger and be ready to take a stand. As your coach, I work to reacquaint you with the parts of you that you already know and prepare yourself to meet the person inside of you that you've never been introduced to. I work with you to help you to understand your individual psychology. I help you to learn the truth of who you really are. I will take you through exercises to understand how your core beliefs about yourself and the world around you, along with your conditioned responses to past actions and behaviors both positive and negative, have shaped who you are and who you will become. And I take you through these exercises because until you know who you are, you will never be who you should become. Coaching with me will give you the freedom to live your dreams!

While I do expect my clients to make an initial 3-month commitment, I set out to strengthen my clients so that if the client chooses to end our coaching relationship, they know more about themselves and the frame work of their lives so that they can continue to drive themselves towards success; however, I believe in my heart of hearts that coaching is something that should be continued for as long as possible. When looking at us as individuals, I know that we are who we are because of our past experiences; and that it is how have we responded to those past experiences that created our automatic behaviors, or conditioned responses, that shaped who we are today. I will work with you to see these things in you so that you will have more knowledge about why you behave in the manner that you do, giving you the knowledge and strength to begin to affect change in your life on every level. And although I acknowledge that many of us have had tragic experiences in our lives, I will never participate in a pity party with you but will always set out to elevate you to a standard that you are more than capable of. Coaching with me will be a reward, as it will allow you to finally feel free enough to love and accept yourself. And when you love and accept yourself you give yourself the grace to continue forward, which is a perfect concept as the best parts of your life will always be before you…never behind!
