EMBRACING MY AUTHENTIC PATH
My Life Motto is Embrace Your Authentic Path and Awaken Creative Solutions. In this Video, I give an example of how this motto works in my life to create wonder, authenticity, and even productive success. Everyone's brain works 24/7/365 however some brain activity such as dreams or active imagination can seem mysterious and incomprehensible. I find that learning to harness the potentials of this less accessible mind can lead to amazing results.
My Professional Background and Practice
I have been a professional coach for more than 35 years. I believe that one becomes an excellent coach through life-long learning, following one’s passions and interests, and of applying one’s insights into heartfelt service to others. And of course, learning how to apply all of that into coaching conversations that motivate others to do the same. The art of coaching conversation lies in manifesting curiosity about what is and what might be for a singular individual or system, and challenging unhelpful, self-imposed limits to those aspirations. I have been a coach in many arenas: Life/ Health, Executive, and now Life/ Creative Depth Coach. I am comfortable in all these modalities, because I continue to learn and grow as a Coach. I am rarely stuck in life and I use my understandings of how to manifest unbreakable growth in helping clients to keep moving and growing. Below is the progression of my growth as a coach.
