Embrace Encouragement-About Coaching

So What's An "Encouragement Session?"

Dreams, goals, desires...we've all got them.

Often times, we tend to carry them in our hearts and minds. That's as far as they go. Why? Sometimes we're just not sure we should stick our toe in the water and take the plunge. The doubt demons tend to tell us "naahh...maybe this isn't for you" when we're thinking about these things on our own.

We may be afraid that those close to us will either discourage us from sticking our necks out in life or aren't sure just how to give us the direction we need. Or, deep down inside, we have some ideas about what we need to do to make our goals happen...but just need a little external push.

What if you had the confidence and encouragement to push all that aside and move forward?

You may have heard the term "life coach". A coach partners with you to facilitate your growth process. Coaching is NOT therapy or consulting. In consulting, someone is giving you answers or suggestions for your situation. Coaching is about taking action, moving forward, accomplishing specific goals and purposes, looking for opportunities for further future growth and developing the answers within yourself. A coach comes in with an open mind, without judgment, to listen to you intuitively, be a mirror for what you are thinking, asks you powerful questions to stimulate your thinking, and offers action challenges to bring forth those ideas I mentioned earlier that you've had buried somewhere. To give you incentive to carry forward your action, a coach also offers accountability--that is, someone you report to that you've accepted those challenges or taken those "baby steps" toward your goal.

Most important of all...a coach offers you encouragement. The coach is your cheerleader, applauding your every accomplishment and progress, no matter how small you may think it is.

In working with people who had a gift or talent to share with the world, there are few things that match the excitement and joy of watching someone, with a little bit of encouragement, take those first steps in achieving results they dreamed about...or, even beyond! There are many stories to share about believing in one's abilities and encouraging words that move you from a place of "who...me?" to "yeah...me!".

Those who choose to invest in themselves can experience great things happen in their careers and their lives. I've watched musicians move from the coffeehouses to national tours; wallflowers became contest winners, dreamers became writers and singers. All because they were willing to go the extra mile and not wait for things to happen for them...they took action that moved them forward toward achieving their dreams and goals.

Being personally coached is an investment...not just in time, or in money, but above all, in YOU! Take it from me...you ARE worth the investment!

Read these testimonials to the power of encouragement:

"Wendy, I wanted to say thank you for all of the help you've given me. As my coach you've given me encouragement to push forward with my writing. What used to be a bunch of papers thrown back in my closet has come together as a book of poems to be published next year. From the first day that I met you, you've been there to give me encouragement and confidence to take the next step. You're the best. Things are starting to happen for me that I only had dreamed of. My demo of Christian songs is one thing I never thought would happen but is coming out next month. Keeping God first in my life and you there as my coach, I can't go wrong. Thank You so much." --Teresa
