Experience Coaching Here

Posted on by

Hello Beautiful Friends!

I hope your summer is going super fantastic so far and you are able to enjoy some vacation time with your loved ones.

Many times I get asked questions about my coaching business and what exactly I offer, so today I thought I’d share a little bit with you here. Maybe this is something you might be interested in or possibly it would be a great resource for your friends and family. I love referrals from my awesome readers, so please share. Here’s a little taste of the coaching experience below.

Everyone needs a Coach!

Why?

To get us out of our comfort zone, take action and follow through on our passions that are buried deep within us. A Coach will challenge and hold you accountable to be the best person you can possible be.

Often, without a coach we end up living humdrum stagnate lives just going through the motions day in and day out.

We have all asked ourselves “Why am I here? Is this all there is to life?” But most of the time we just settle back into our routine and never really push ourselves to find out why we are here and how to begin living fully alive.

I will coach you to discover God’s purpose for your life, immediately start living and loving COURAGEOUSLY while learning how to push through resistance. This my friend is called Living the Wholehearted Life.

If you are ready to move forward, I want to coach you!

The focus of our sessions will be centered around:

1. Where am I now?

2. Where am I going?

3. How will I get there?

4. What might get in the way?

Side note, this is not easy work, but I promise the reward is worth it! Here’s what one client had to say…

“When I started working with Linda, I couldn’t really define my goals for coaching. I knew I was feeling overwhelmed and a bit scattered. One of the first things I did was take spiritual gifts assessment. This was my first step in getting some real focus. I realized that I was committed to a number of things that were not bringing me joy, but instead were draining my energy. Over several weeks I gained clarity about my talents and priorities, and was able to regain a sense of serenity, which is priceless!” Cassie C., NJ

Clients who are successful working with me tend to have these qualities:

1. Motivation

2. Desire

3. Commitment

4. Fear (It’s normal to feel afraid when starting something new!)

If you have these four qualities, you are ready to embrace a more passionate wholehearted YOU by beginning the coaching process.

What does each session include? Every woman is different and moving through a unique season of life. Therefore each session is uniquely created to meet her needs.

A typical Coaching Session will include 10 Significant Steps to guide you towards living a passionate wholehearted life:

1.   Begin with prayer ~ I will lead us in prayer by inviting God into each session and asking for His guidance.

2.   Discuss Client Prep Form ~ We will review where you are, and where you want to be in order to achieve your goals.

3.   Client/Coach dialog ~ This is where the rubber meets the road. We will dig deep to bring self-awareness and focus on what it means for you to live wholeheartedly.

4.   Coaching questions ~ As your coach, I will ask you the tough questions that many people around you may be afraid to ask.

5.   Brainstorming ~ Ideas are not just born from your coach. We will discuss together what it means for you to be successful in this program.

6.   Consider possible obstacles ~ Roadblocks, you will have them, they do exist, and there can be a lot of them. I will teach you the tools to remove them and move forward. Often clients use these tools in other areas of their life.

7.   Create an action plan ~ We will agree upon an action plan.

8.   Discuss accountability plan ~ Accountability is the heart of the Coach/Client relationship.

9.   Explore possible assignments between sessions ~ Homework. Depending on your unique situation there may be some assignments that will be done between our sessions.

10. End with prayer ~ As we complete our session, we will praise God. (I do not ask my clients to pray out loud unless they prefer.)

A Sweet Place of Breakthrough

Posted on by

deskartjournal

If I could reach through the computer screen I’d give you the biggest (((HUG))) and thank you for joining me on this inspiring journey of practicing COURAGE this month!

As I was sitting at my desk thinking about writing today’s post, I looked down and noticed my art journal I’ve been using for an online class I’m taking with Brene Brown. (Side note: I love her and all of her books!)

I couldn’t help myself, I have to share with you one of the coolest things I think I’ve done in quite some time.

One afternoon a few weeks ago, I was a little fidgety and I had this sense that I really wanted to do something fun, like create, paint or draw…

Because I’m not artistic in that way, like my daughter, I usually ignore those fleeting thoughts and do something “more productive”. You know like cleaning out my kitchen cabinets, folding laundry, vacuuming the floors, grocery shopping. I mean who has time to sit around and create a useless piece of art when so many things have to get done?

However, because of all this COURAGE talk we’ve had going on this month, I took a deep breath and thought to myself, Linda, this is an opportunity to practice courage. Are you going to do it?

And then I felt that uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach.

A siren went off in my head.

COURAGE ALERT! COURAGE ALERT! MUST ACT NOW!!

In that moment, I made an intentional decision and pushed through the resistance. I was brave. I asked my husband and daughter if they would like to join me in the dining room to create something. I had no agenda; I just wanted to use my watercolors, markers and journal.

And to my surprise, they both curiously looked at me and nodded their heads yes!

The three of us gathered around the table and spent about half an hour or so randomly creating things. I loved being with my family doing something creative. The only time we ever do this kind of thing is on a half-to basis, like school projects.

You want to know the absolute best part about this?

The way it made me feel!

I felt HAPPY…. ALIVE…FULL…. PEACEFUL…. CONTENT.

Looking back, I believe that was the day COURAGE led me to a sweet place of breakthrough.

You are not alone…

Posted on by

We are the most connected world yet the most isolated because of social media.

It’s hard to have that personal intimate connection when you meet over the internet, unlike meeting with someone face-to-face.

In my quiet time this morning I was reading Matthew 28:20 “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” This scripture brings me so much comfort to know whenever I’m feeling alone, Christ is with me, the Holy Spirit is always with me and I am never alone.

We’ve been talking about courage all month and I have to say it takes COURAGE to truly believe the word of God. I want to encourage you to spend some time with scripture and connect with God today. I love hearing from you! Leave a comment below.

How To Be A Good Listener

Posted on by

2slowdown

Last night as my teenage daughter was sharing her struggles with me, I found myself wanting to talk and give advice so badly. I knew I could help her “fix” things because I am her mom, right? I mean I’ve got 26 years on her. I do think I know a thing or two about being a teenage girl.

As I sat quietly and semi-patiently listening, I thought I was going to bust. I could barely stand it. I even started feeling a little anxious with sweaty palms and shallow breaths. I wiggled in my seat and adjusted my posture several times as I thought to myself, keep your mouth shut and listen to her Linda.

Why in the world is it so hard for us to just sit and listen?

Why do we feel the need to fix, rescue, advise or control when others just simply need to be heard?

I believe when we are faced with experiencing someone else’s pain, it brings up our “stuff”, our deep personal pains.

It takes courage to slow down long enough to become aware of how we are feeling and be present with another.

There’s an acronym I learned in coaching school that has been an invaluable tool for me as a coach, parent, wife and friend.

WAIT. Why Am I Talking?

When I find myself desperately wanting to talk (because oh how I love to talk!), I’ll say, “WAIT, Why am I talking?” and that usually quiets me long along to gain self-awareness.

I am then able to ask myself questions like, what are you feeling, why are you uncomfortable or what are you afraid of?

It reminds me of James 1:19, one of those graciously humbling scriptures if you know what I mean? Be quick to listen and slow to speak.

So how can you slow down and practice courage while listening to others today? I would love to hear from you! Leave me a comment below.

{Love & Belonging}

Posted on by

I hung this sign over my dog’s beds because I thought it was cute. I really do love them, but unintentionally deep down inside I wanted them to know they have a place of belonging.

I’ve caught myself lately reading the sign {You are Loved} throughout the day, and my heart smiles every time.

I believe we feel the most loved when we know that we belong.

Knowing that I truly belong to Jesus and accepted just the way I am with all my imperfections reminds me daily that I am loved.

How can you remind yourself daily that you are loved? Courage is intentional. Leave me a comment below.

My Secret Weapon

Posted on by

secretweapon

My heart is racing. I’m panicking! Where in the heck is all this courage that I’ve been talking about for the last week?

A writing deadline fell out of the sky today. I’m starting to shrink. I’m questioning am I enough? Who do I think I am? I’m not good enough for this assignment? I’m a fake, a wannabe, a phony!

This is the garbage that rattles in my mind.

I have a million things to do. Pick my daughter up from school, get dinner on the table, respond to emails, meet with clients… I don’t have time for this. I have a list a mile long.

Resistance is taunting me with pretty little lies. Resistance is nothing but a big fat bully!

Then I remember to reach for my secret weapon. She grounds me every time I start to unravel in the whirlwind of “not enough”.

I pick up the phone and call my Coach.

She asked me those simple yet profound questions that brought me back to earth, that surrounded me with COURAGE.

Who are you writing for? What is your goal? How can you give yourself compassion in this moment?

My heart rhythm settled into a steady calm and confident beat once again. I found my courage.

What unraveling has fought for your attention lately? How can you find your courage once again? I love hearing from you, comment below.
