Navigate Your Life
Overview | Resources | FAQs


Coaching is all about you - the client. It focuses on your life using three fundamental principles that are essential for meaning: fulfillment, balance, and process.

Co-Active Coaching is a model is based on the philosophy that you are naturally creative, resourceful and whole, and capable of finding your own answers to the challenges you face. In Co-Active Coaching, the job of the coach is to listen, encourage, and empower rather than inform and advise. Coaching is about discovering possibilities, getting beyond the "shoulds," stuck-points and distractions, and getting into action to create a fulfilling life.

Do you need support in one of the following areas?

Identifying what you want or want more of
Believing you can achieve it
Developing plans to get there
Executing the plans
Fulfillment
What do you truly value? What activities bring you deep joy? Where is your passion? Do you know what you were created to do and who you were created to be? Even when we are certain of our life's purpose, we often have hurdles and barriers that prevent us from living our dreams. Joannie will help you identify what brings you true fulfillment and work with you to tame any self-defeating influences that are keeping you from achieving your goals.

Balance
Allows you to see your life from many useful perspectives. It helps you realize that you have alternatives and make the choices you want. It also gets you in touch with effective planning methods, getting committed, and into action. Such daily responsibilities as keeping the house clean, taking the kids to soccer practice, getting the car serviced, and buying groceries can consume our lives. Although these are important responsibilities, coaching can help you view life from new perspectives that take into account all areas of your life. Learn to focus in on and make time for what is most meaningful to you instead of dashing about trying to have it all.

Process
When you picture a "path," you often envision a straight line from one point to another. In reality, paths can be winding, narrow, and full of debris. The path to reaching your dreams is often filled with ups and downs. When you finally catch a vision, you look forward to the excitement and accomplishments. At the same time, the setbacks and "stuck feelings" are also an important part of the journey that contributes to your growth and strength. Process Coaching allows you acknowledge and focus on whatever moment you're currently in. Joannie specializes in walking the path with you, celebrating your victories and guiding you through the difficulties.
