I know that whatever the reasons by which you come to me, your goals and objectives are as unique and specific to you as they have been for every client with whom I have ever worked, and at the same time, those goals are universal and common to us all.
You want to build your career, or you want better relationships with your family and loved ones. You want more confidence, or you want to manage your time more effectively. You want less stress and a better sense of direction about your place in the world. You want to know that you matter, that what you do makes a difference for the people you care about. You want to be happy, you want peace and contentment and connection. Maybe you want all of those things. Yep, you and me both.
I have worked with hundreds of clients over the last thirty years, and without exception, I have found that we are all just trying to manage the quality of our experience of life. We just want to get our needs met and we want to feel good about it. That's why you're here on this page, isn't it? You have the hope and the faith that the quality of your experience of life can be different from what it has been in the past. You know it's possible. You just aren't quite certain about how to get there from here. I understand.
I will listen to you and treat you with the respect, compassion and understanding that you deserve. Who am I to judge or criticize you, when I understand completely that everything in our lives that doesn't work, everything that upsets us, all of the places we are stuck, these challenges, obstacles and difficulties are all neon signs pointing directly at our most important life lessons. Most of us just lack the key to understanding and integrating these experiences, so that we can become free to choose and create what we want for ourselves.
I can help you with that. This is what I do best, and I absolutely love that I get to do this work with all kinds of different people. But please remember, I act only as an agent for your empowerment. This work is about YOU, your choice, your power, your life, your being. No one can do this work for you but you. I am, like you, just an ordinary person. Yes, I have some extraordinary training, experience and insight, of course, but I am ordinary nonetheless. If I can accomplish this work myself, then anyone can. I don't believe that you are broken, even though sometimes you may have felt that you were. I am not here to save you, but I can teach you to save yourself if you really believe that you need saving. If you just want to make your life work better, then we can do that too, and it would be an honor and a privilege for me to be your companion, partner and ally on your journey to freedom.
Do you feel any resonance with this? Do you recognize something true about your life in what I've said so far? If so, then trust yourself, be courageous and open the door to possibility. Contact me and let's find out if working with me is your next step.
Without exception, my clients want:
Influence instead of impotence
Fulfillment instead of frustration
Connection instead of isolation
Peace instead of conflict
Occasionally, someone will ask me why people choose to work with a life coach. And though my clients come to me for many different stated reasons, it all boils down to one common truth:
Every day, through our thoughts, feelings, choices, words and actions, we are manifesting the life we have right now. We are all doing the very best we can with what we know and what we have. If we could do better, we certainly would. We simply want to improve the quality of our experience of life. What keeps us from doing that, what is missing, is the necessary information, resources and support to get our needs met in a way that really works. Nobody ever taught us how to be very good at that!
We want to improve ourselves. We want to be better human beings today than we were yesterday. If we want to be more effective, if we want better relationships, if we want more satisfying work, if we want a different life, we need to think, feel and act in ways that produce different results. We need to use our power of present moment awareness to be our truest and best Self and make different choices from within that authentic space.
I have absolute faith in you. I know, with great certainty, that you already have the power within you to be fully present in this moment and choose differently to think, feel and act in ways that will create the life you want for yourself and will help you be that best person you came to this planet to be. I have seen these transformations time and time again as I work with my clients. All that is required is your internal commitment that yes, now is the time to begin.

This is a class photo of the March 2006 Genos EI Certification training that I delivered for iPEC in Newark, New Jersey. I am consistently delighted by the international diversity represented among our attendees. In this class we had the cross-cultural insights of Americans originally from Russia, India, France and Tobago, as well as from the US. Dealing with our feelings and the feelings of others are fundamental aspects of the human experience and, of course, so is EI. That human experience of feeling transcends all national boundaries and cultures, so from my perspective, these multi-cultural points of view enrich us all, making our classes the whole world revealed in a grain of sand.
