Break Free With Life Coaching

Looking for a way to make your life better? Want to realize your dreams? Missing the secrets of abundance? Feel like something is holding you back and you cannot break free? Desire something more (or less)? More chocolate? Less stress?

"Just do it! " may work in sports; but even the best athletes have coaches to help them reach their full potential. Moving beyond old behaviors and thought patterns to the fulfilling, powerful life you want (and deserve!) takes creative exploration and experimentation.

It takes life coaching.

Life coaching is a practical way to expand your life--and yourself--beyond what you currently think is possible. It can help you find within yourself a boundless, abundant life filled with success, satisfaction, purpose, and direction. During coaching you'll learn how to overcome self-limiting behaviors and emotional chaos that may be holding you back.

Coaching is a tool for discovering your core values and developing a life that honors those. As your life coach, my goal is to help you actively choose your path through life instead of unconsciously reacting to situations or failing to see your options.

I know you have questions about how coaching works, who I am and how working together can benefit you. Read on… and for you inquisitive types, explore the additional topics in the side bar.

What Is Life Coaching?

Coaching is a creative collaborative process in a supportive environment where you can freely discuss personal and professional challenges, develop plans and solutions, discover your truest dreams and create a boundless life on your own terms.

What Does a Life Coach Do?

Imagine having someone who is completely on your side. A caring listener who does not judge. A compassionate voice who views things from a different perspective. A trained professional to guide you over, under, around and through tough spots. A tireless cheerleader who sees your magnificence and reveals it to you.

Am I the Life Coach for You?

In searching for my own life-change solutions, I soon realized that creative, entrepreneurial, free-spirited, right-brained people (like you) need solutions that fit their way of working, thinking and responding to the world. My life coaching embraces creativity and promotes self-guided resolution for people seeking a boundless life on their own terms.

How Do We Work Together?

Through the magic of technology, you and I can "meet" regularly from anywhere in the world. All you need is a phone; a comfortable, private place and your undivided attention. Then you give me a call at your prescheduled time. Depending upon your needs, you choose both the length of the sessions (30 or 45 minutes) and how often we meet (two or four times a month). Although most clients opt for regular appointments at the same time on the same day of the week, we can schedule each appointment individually if your work or life schedule calls for it.

What Concerns can Coaching Address?

The personal and professional issues that bring people to coaching are as unique as they are. I've coached on issues as diverse as finding a life mate, changing a career, even (believe it or not), a bad manicure. Other topics and concerns include:

  • Creating a long-term vision for your life--and a plan to help you get there
  • Figuring out what isn't working for you--and discovering how to change it
  • Making a major life change--easily
  • Finding happiness and fulfillment now--instead of waiting for that mythical "someday"
  • Getting motivated to get into action--and then staying motivated
  • Simplifying your life--without giving up anything that matters
  • Adding creativity, fun, adventure, or whatever to your life--on your terms
  • Discovering what really matters to you--and learning how to incorporate that into your life

In other words, if you want to make a change, I'm here to help.

The Power Of Coaching

There are many common self-improvement themes (clutter, procrastination, exercise and weight loss are always in the top 10 "I need help" lists). Coaching approaches your personal and professional issues as obstacles as unique as you are.

Through life coaching, we look together at the underlying causes (poor self-image, not being true to yourself, negative internal messages) that hold you back, as well as brainstorm practical solutions to the specific issue. In other words, I'll help you figure out why you're a clutterbug, as well as help you come up with ways for dealing with the clutter. Or we'll work on your desire and motivation to become a full-time artist. We can address the practical life style changes that you'll encounter along with the emotional support you need to leave your 9-to-5 job.

Let me give you a few specific coaching situations I've helped clients tackle. (I'm using initials only because of my privacy policy, but I have permission from each client to use them as examples.)

  • MZ, a self-employed personal trainer, had always wanted to publish a fitness calendar. After just three months of working with me, she did!
  • VZH, a corporate HR executive with some serious health issues, was working 60 to 70 hours a week. She wanted to slow down so she could get healthy enough to have a baby. She switched careers to pharmaceutical sales, which gave her more control of her own time. Her health has improved, and she's getting ready to start that family. Now, we're talking about how to integrate a baby into her life.
  • After a bunch of difficult life changes, SF decided to try to make it as a freelance writer. When she started working with me, she (in her own words) felt like she was at a bottom of a pit. She is now turning away clients—and has written twelve books!

How Can I Benefit from Coaching?

The benefits of coaching are virtually unlimited. Actually, it's a question of what you want. Coaching can help you

  • feel better about yourself
  • set goals and reach them
  • make major life changes
  • follow your dreams

No matter what brings you to coaching - a barrier you can't surmount, a dream you long to fulfill, a life challenge that seems too hard to tackle - what you'll take away will continue to serve you long after you've stopped coaching. Not only will you have the knowledge and the tools you need to handle almost every stumbling block you'll come across, but you'll also have the power and the assurance to use them. Just think of your life filled with more confidence and less worry, more peace and less stress! (And of course, more chocolate!)

How Do I Know Coaching is For Me?

Life coaching requires you to jump in with your eyes wide open and take charge of your life! However, not everyone is at that stage, so I've created a handy-dandy Manage Your Muse Ready for Coaching Quiz. It only takes a few minutes (enough time for a chocolate break), is perfectly painless and best of all it's free!

What Will Coaching Cost Me?

Coaching is a long-term investment in YOU—an investment that will not only change your life for the better right now, but will continue to reward you for years after you've quit coaching. Now, let me tell you what you'll be investing in:

  • Regular telephone sessions at a scheduled time.
  • My undivided attention – except when the cat decides to tear through the office!
  • Cheering (pom-pom waving optional) and chocolate-sharing as required.
  • A safe place to explore new options and approaches for your life.
  • Fresh perspectives and honest (but never unkind) opinions.
  • Direction and focus on solutions that work for you.

Because I firmly believe that there is no such thing as "one size fits all," whether in clothing or coaching, I have several different options (and prices!) for coaching. Click here for coaching options and pricing.

What others have to say about coaching with the Muse...

"I have always been a spiritual person, interested in changing and growing, and on the quest for happiness. However, I struggled for years to put my philosophical beliefs into practice in a consistent, focused way. Coaching with Lynn gives me a regular opportunity to evaluate my life, and work towards my goals and dreams. This way I can create the life I want instead of being victim to circumstances.

Coaching also gives me a forum to identify and confront the problems that keep me going in circles. Depending on the situation, Lynn will act as a sounding board for ideas, an ear to listen, or a poser of questions."

- Kevin Wiggins, NJ

"When we met, I felt like I was at the bottom of a pit. Lynn extended a friendly hand, aimed a light at the ladder (which was hidden inside me) and guided me up and out. The process has been filled with laughter, honesty and amazing self-discovery. It is in my nature to be both practical and creative.

Coaching offers me the practical solutions I feel comfortable with and the creative approaches I need to be successful in improving my personal life and career. I emphasize the WE because it is a shared process like no other. Working with Lynn has been one of the best ideas I ever came up with!"

- S.F., Sparks, NV
