You probably know intuitively that bouncing ideas off of someone when you are confused or stuck might help you uncover you inner resources. You could go to your family as sounding boards. Because of our mobile society, this might not be an option for you. Or your family dynamics might not be a welcoming place to explore your issues. Perhaps you could approach friends with your dilemma. Often friends, out of well-meaning and love, may overwhelm you with suggestions, advice or assumptions. You may feel vulnerable, like you risk being judged if you expose your problems to others. As a result, you end up struggling with your question privately not getting support when you need support the most.

Conversations with a Coach allow you to explore your questions, problems, fears and dilemmas in a confidential, nonjudgmental setting. Space is provided for you to hear and honor your inner guide. As a nonbiased partner, your Coach will support you in dismantling your fear and creating your own solutions.

We all have fears within our minds. Examples of these fears are that we are not enough of something or too much of something else. We might fear what people think of us or what might happen if they really knew us. To protect ourselves from the discomfort of those fears, we hide them under self-defenses. Our self-defenses become our automatic ways of being, doing or responding. We become invested in those behaviors and responses and that prevents us from being our authentic selves.

A Coach supports you in moving beyond fears and self-defenses. Then you are able to access your authentic, powerful self.
