Growing PERSONALLY and INTERPERSONALLY:

Picture
Both COACHING and GROWING are essential elements for successful living.

I am a COACH who is passionate about helping you identify your goals, your personal strengths and challenges, and the next best steps to keep you successfully moving forward and growing.    

COACHING takes place three ways:
    1. As a COACH, I provide information and support to help you identify and achieve your goals, making the most of your personal strengths, and finding effective strategies for compensating for your challenges.
    2. You learn to COACH yourself, using self-talk, visuals, organizational techniques, accountability partners, and other strategies for identifying and achieving your goals.
    3. You use your experiences, knowledge, interests, connections, and other resources to COACH others.
As your COACH, I will help you identify ways to meet your basic needs, and encourage you to keep growing, connecting, and contributing.    

There are four basic elements crucial to GROWING and living healthy, well-balanced lives:
  1. NOURISHING is the process of meeting our basic needs. GROWING requires a healthy diet, exercise, adequate sleep, rest and relaxation, recreation, hobbies/interests, income, new information, inspiration, motivation, security, and supportive relationships. 
  2. GROWING is the process of daily learning and improving our functioning. GROWING is a life-long process involving the demonstration of increased knowledge and ability (physically, mentally, emotionally, ethically/morally, financially, organizationally, spiritually, and in independent living skills). 
  3. CONNECTING involves opportunities and skills for building and maintaining effective social connections. GROWING takes place in a variety of social contexts, at home, school, in the workplace, places of worship, and other community arenas.
  4. CONTRIBUTING is the act of using our time, abilities, interests, effort, financial gifts, and other resources to benefit others. It is both evidence of GROWING, and an important component to meeting our basic needs, which provides the necessary nourishment to keep growing!
