What the heck is a life + success coach? What do you even do?
To quote the lovely Elyse Myers…”great question I would love to tell you”
The quick version – I work with motivated humans to get unstuck in their career and build a professionally fulfilling life.
And the longer explanation –
I work with people to get clear on what they want, so we can create a plan of action, support them throughout the plan, and make progress on the goal (or achieve it!)
If you’re a 1:1 client of mine it starts with a 90 minute call where we talk about ALL OF IT. And I mean all of it, and before we end our session we set our main goals for the coaching time together. Everything else we do along the way will be getting the client closer to those goals.
Then, we meet for 1 hour bi-weekly and we do the work together. Some days this looks like editing a client’s resume and cover letter together to prepare them to apply for new jobs. Other days it looks like a lot of back and forth as we uncover what they REALLY WANT (not what they thought they should). Some days it looks like working through the negative voice in their head, and the mindset blocks. Other day it looks like us excitedly planning their next steps. To sum it up, our sessions look different with each client, every time.
When you’re a client of mine you get homework every time we meet. This is unique per client and changes each session as we get closer to where they want to be. In addition, on non-call weeks I check in with them via text or voice memo, but they know they can reach out to me throughout the week with questions, concerns, ideas or if they need some tough love or a second opinion. My favorite is when they reach out to excitedly share their wins!
You can know what you’re doing and hire a coach.
Hear me out:
My clients don’t hire me because they’re incapable. They’re wildly capable. They hire me because they need outside support and accountability. They hire me because I can provide an outside perspective and different ideas. They hire me because I’m going to push them further than they push themselves. And that’s what they want.
They don’t hire me because they can’t do it alone.
They hire me because they want to do it BETTER. And make it easier and more enjoyable with someone there.
I’ve hired multiple coaches over the years.
Could I write my own workouts? YES.
Do I? No. Annie Miller does.
I hired Liz Fast to support and guide me through building and launching a biz.
And in the past, I hired Alex Mazzurco to do my nutrition (many years ago!)
I could have done all these things alone, but I wanted the expertise and support of a coach to help me do them better (and hold me accountable).
I know you’re capable. But if you want my knowledge, support and accountability – then shoot me a DM. I have one 1:1 coaching spot left to get started this month and I’d love to work with you!
People are capable. What they really need is support, accountability, tough love and an outside perspective (because the people who want the best for us and are closest to us are usually too close for us to listen to)
If you’re curious to learn more about coaching, or potentially interested in working together, don’t be shy. I’m an open book. Shoot me an email, send me a DM on Instagram or check out my services for yourself.
