Who are the people you work with?

Limitless Life, LLC attracts people who are going through a major transition. Most have reached a point in their life where the circumstances they worked hard for all their life, are not satisfying anymore.

I work best longer term, with clients who are aware and unconventional, who are ready to think outside the traditional box. If you want to make soul-satisfying life choices, are ready to take responsibility, and want to consciously create a true shift in your life circumstances, you are ready to work with me.

What is your Coaching Philosophy?

We provide coaching services that are holistic and comprehensive, to both individuals and business executives. We help clients with their personal and professional growth by helping them tap into their own power and courage to live fully and truthfully. We co-create this experience together with our clients and deliver our services with truth, integrity, and compassion. Key elements of our coaching are strong intuition and assisting clients in recognizing their responsibility for their choices and actions. Our goal is to contribute to the overall well-being of our clients and the forward movement of society as a whole.

How does coaching work?

We focus on people who desire to live authentically, creating true happiness and lasting fulfillment. Coaching may address specific personal projects, life balance, business successes or general personal or professional issues. Other coaching services or activities include Values Clarification, Brainstorming, Personal Strategic Planning and a process of examining various modes of operating in life. The services to be provided are designed together with you, and are based on a thorough needs assessment at the start of our coaching relationship. We help you identify big-picture objectives, set strategies, and stay focused. Changing your life is simple, even though it may not be easy.

We coach you by sharing observations, and asking questions, so that you can gain focus, get more clarity and move into action. We will hold you accountable, so that you can move into a direction that honors your true self. This means we sometimes need to be direct with you; Limitless Life serves as a mirror to keep you focused. Questions are always guided by a strong connection with the client as well as powerful intuition.

How much time will it take?

I work best long-term, and even though coaching starts with a 3-month commitment, I often work longer term with my clients (up to 9-12 months). Some clients return over time, as their lives evolve. Coaching consists of 3 (phone) sessions of 45 minutes each per month. Most of the work is done outside the calls, however, and depends on the focus areas of coaching, your schedule, and your motivation and commitment to create true, long-lasting change in your life.

Why can’t I just talk to a friend or a mentor?

As your personal coach, I have no agenda for you. I am objective, straightforward, and want you to be honest with yourself. I have no stake in the outcomes you create. There is no need to worry about “burdening” your coach with your issues.

Coaches don’t talk about themselves, and don’t provide you with solutions they think are best for you. Personal coaches are nonjudgmental, unbiased, and unattached to the actions you take. We encourage you, motivate you, and hold you accountable so that you can live the life you want to live. If you could do it all by yourself, or with the people around you, it would already have happened…

What about fear and other emotions?

I am not afraid of your fear or hesitation, or any other emotions that may come up. As a Certified Professional Coach, I have been trained to use these human indicators of your truth, to assist you in figuring out what it is you really want and deserve. And more importantly, how to get there. My philosophy is 'feel the fear and do it anyway...' (based on the book by Susan Jeffers, PhD.)

What are some of the possible outcomes of coaching?

Please see the 'about us' section for more information. Limitless Life LLC encourages you to make life-giving choices and take inspired actions in your own life. Depending on what your goals are, how and where you want to focus, if you are ready to take action, coaching may have the following outcomes:

· Creating your own Limitless Life

· Finding a happier, more fulfilling and contented way of life.

· Being who you are: bringing out the best in yourself.

· Living a more balanced life (emotionally, spiritually, mentally, physically)

· Enhancing your personal and professional fulfillment

· Developing better personal and professional relationships

What is the difference between therapy and coaching?

Coaching is not advice, therapy, or counseling. In short, coaching focuses on the present and future, where therapy deals more with the past. In coaching, we feel nothing needs to be fixed, you are perfect as you are. Coaching focuses on the possibilities, and on total well being, whereas therapy often focuses on restoring mental health. Coaching helps identifying dreams, goals, and values, where therapy seeks a diagnosis. While therapy provides tools to cope, coaching provides tools to thrive. If you are ready to move forward, are interested in looking at opportunities, and desire to lead a satisfying, successful life, coaching is for you.
