Of course we are all familiar with a sports coach, but these days you hear about coaches for everything from career to nutrition, from parenting to life! A coach is an objective, nonjudgmental professional who gives you encouragement, support, advice and strategies to win or “perform” at your very best. Coaching is proven to be the highest evolved methodology for adult learning, designed to create positive change. It consists of clients interacting on a regular basis with a personal coach over an extended period.

So how will a coach help ME?

Coach Sandra explains it this way: Our lives are built day-by-day through the choices we make and the actions we live out. When we got married, we had a vision of how our lives would look – we had dreams of houses, children, trips, holidays, retirement – and then one day, divorce came knocking at the door. At that defining moment the “picture” of our lives that hung over the sofa – you know the one that had your life mapped out - has fallen off the wall and shattered into hundreds of pieces. Suddenly you are standing there looking at all the pieces wondering how you even got to this point in your life. The process of putting that picture back together is overwhelming – where do you possibly begin? You know the picture will look different, but you just can’t imagine how it will look or if it will even be a picture of a life you want to live.

For some people, the pieces that they struggle to fit together are managing their finances, finding a job, becoming a single-parent, navigating the actual divorce process of , learning how to live alone, understanding their emotions and pain along with so many other areas. You don’t like the way your life is working and you feel stuck but you don’t know how to move forward.

How do I move forward?

You first need a vision of how you want to live your life from this day forward. The past is etched in your life, but you can have a significant impact in how your future looks. Coach Sandra goes through the “rooms” of your life inventory and together you see what you need more of, less of or none of.

You will soon be empowered to live out your values and passion, and commit to your well being and growth as YOU create a life that not only works, but one that you can be excited about living. Your new “picture” is being created one moment, one breath, one piece at a time.

What Coaching is NOT about

Coaching is not counseling or therapy. A therapist seeks to uncover the source of the problem then works toward healing it. ; while a coach seeks to uncover obstacles that are keeping you from intentionally growing through and beyond your divorce. Coaching is future-focused and interactive as a plan is developed for dealing with today and taking a look at tomorrow.

A coach has an understanding of how other professionals fit into your plan and will incorporate them into your situation if they are needed . This could include counseling, therapy, financial advisors, attorneys, realtors and or other applicable services.
