Today is an incredible day.

The joys and blessings of the Christmas season have infiltrated our homes and workplaces. For this we are very greatful. We call these "new mercies" back home. When I think of the great benefits of being a coach, I realize I am living the dream in helping my clients to discover and manifest new possibilities. The coaching profession has been one of the most rewarding careers of my life. The majority of potential clients and the curious still ask what can a coach do for them or someone they know. I enjoy focusing on the benefits of coaching and remind my clients that I am here to help them grow from where they are in their lives (personally and professionally) to where they would like to be. As shared by so many coaches, the benefits are incredible. Everyone needs a coach for a variety of reasons and through each stage of his or her life, whether an adolescent in elementary school or senior living in their desired golden years. The long lasting benefits of coaching far outweigh the cost of the coaching services. Group coaching has made these services even more affordable.

The benefits from effective coaching includes but is not limited to the following:

◄ My Gift - Free 20 minute consultation

◄ The Wheel of Life/Business – a discovery tool providing immediate feedback

◄ Ability to set, pursue and achieve goals–with your coach as your accountability partner

◄ Clarity of vision and your personal Vision Statement – make better decisions

◄ Plan of Action – Life-Long lessons – daily applications and action steps

◄ Renewed purpose, core values, hope and possibilities – Realize your best dreams now!

◄ Professional and personal success and empowerment

◄ Eliminate limiting beliefs and obstacles – get unstuck!

My coaching colleagues have included even more benefits clients receive and this is just a sampling of how coaches can help clients get to where they would like to be (formerly Coachville, CoachU, International Association of Coaches, the International Coaching Federation and other coaches echo the same comments):
