What do you think of when you hear, “I’m a Life Coach?” Most people have some idea of what it is based on a movie or a funny meme. But, coaching might not be what you think!
First, here’s what it’s not: counseling, mentoring, advising, or consulting. I think the most common misconception is that coaching and counseling are synonymous. Coaching, however, is forward looking, while counseling focuses on the past. As your coach, I want you to dream big and take next steps toward your purpose! However, if you are struggling to get over some of the things from your past, I highly recommend counseling! There is absolutely nothing wrong with it–I’m just not a counselor.
How Do I Get Started?
Once you’ve contacted me about scheduling your Clarity Call, I’ll get back to you to set up a 20 minute call either over the phone or via zoom (audio). We’ll chat about what’s going on and decide if coaching is right for you. Then, we’ll determine which package would fit your needs right now. After that, I’ll send you a few forms to fill out and schedule your on-boarding session.
During the on-boarding session, we’ll go over your forms and make sure we’re on the same page and go in-depth about your goals. I’ll ask some questions to help you determine where you would like to be at the end of the three or six months (depending on the package you’ve chosen). And then we’ll schedule your first session!
What Should I Expect?
As your coach, I will not tell you what you need to do. I don’t want to advise you on your own dreams and goals. I want to help you do that yourself. So what does that look like? I’m going to ask you a lot of questions! And as a Christian Coach, I’m going to lean heavily on the Holy Spirit to guide me to ask meaningful, thought-provoking questions.
During the 45-60 minute session, you will explore (your own) ideas and I’ll help you dig deep to uncover your dreams. By the end of each session, you will have some strategy and action steps (that you have chosen) so that you can move one step closer to your goal! It’s an amazing process that brings so much clarity.
I love to ask my clients what they found helpful during each session. The number one response I hear is, “It’s so helpful to talk this out. Everything makes more sense to me now.” My clients also love to have a tangible action step to take at the end of each session–and it’s something they came up with!
Is Coaching Right for Me?
Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel like you know there is more to life but you just can’t seem to figure out what it is? Or maybe you know you have a dream to do something but you’re not sure where or how to get started.
John 10:10 says that Jesus came to give us life to the full! And He did it for every one of us! I’m passionate about helping women uncover who God created them to be and rediscover the dream He placed inside of them so they can take their next steps toward living the life God intended–full of meaning and purpose! I love to help women get un-stuck and move forward!
If this is you–let me know! Send me an email at jamie.counterculture@gmail.com to set up your 20 minute clarity call and let’s figure out your next step together.
Cheering you on,
Jamie
