Welcome to LifePathGuide, my coaching website.
Would you like an ally to help you achieve a goal, your dream,
success, balance, or fulfillment? This is what I do. I’m a personal
life coach and I help people find their happiness and contentment
in life. Whether the goal is as specific as business success or
as general as life fulfillment and balance, I can help you get
there. I listen with my head, heart, and spirit and mirror back
what I hear. We brainstorm possible or seemingly impossible approaches
to your life’s challenges and create a plan of action. I will hold
you accountable for embracing these plans, acting on them, and
reformulating the next move. I work with YOUR agenda, offering
my perspective and suggestions only when needed and desired by
YOU. Coaching works and I’m happy to be available to help you.
Why
would you choose me to be your coach? Although my career was
as an emergency medicine specialist, I always counseled people
as a side practice or in the course of my work in the ER. It
was a natural calling for me. With a background from the ‘70s
in Gestalt therapy and EST, I found that helping people with
their life challenges and strategies was deeply fulfilling for
me. The more I looked into coaching as a possible new career
direction, I saw that what I’d been doing under the heading of
‘counseling’ or ‘therapy’ was essentially coaching. I received
my formal training at the Institute
for Life Coach Training, a coaching
school for therapists making the transition to coaching.
During my medical career spanning nearly 30 years, I had somewhere
around 150,000 clinical encounters. All of these were problem
solving challenges. Although it is not my role as a coach to
solve your problems (you are fully capable of doing this yourself,
with or without a little help from your coach), my orientation
to and experience with a broad range of life challenges is a
very good foundation for coaching work. Additionally my personal
life experiences (see About Me) contribute to my ability to manage
life challenges with a wide perspective.
So,
how could you know that you’d want to work with me? I offer
a free one-hour consultation so that we both can get a sense
about whether the alliance would work for us. I love to work
with people when I get the sense that we’re a good match. Let’s
find out.
