The following are descriptions of the benefits you can realize in four main areas of coaching: Personal, Relationships, Relocation and Cross-Cultural. Scroll to the topic most relevant to you.

Personal ~

Learn 10+ key universal spiritual truths and integrate these into your daily life for an expanded perspective, and more peace and happiness

Learn how to live from your heart and spirit vs. mind and ego; remove what’s really not you, claim what is, and step into that

Learn how to marry inner and outer worlds using intuition, signs and symbols for guidance

Be true to yourself: listen to and follow your soul’s calling

Experience more freedom and fulfillment in your relationships

Be more conscious and present at work and at home

Develop or strengthen your spiritual practice that enables you to feel more connected to spirit, yourself, and others

Move through soul pain, turning the light on to see the gifts soul pain has to teach you, and move into living from a place that’s relatively pain free

Have more fun and feel more alive

Many of us were taught to live in a more linear, western paradigm that is based on duality, competition, doing vs. being, the mind, linear, rational thinking and science. This is what I see as a 2-D view of the world. The world where you’ll find lasting peace and joy is one based on universal spiritual truths which are timeless and which transcend religion. These laws include detachment, non-aversion, forgiveness, gratitude, love, unity, attraction, intention, surrender, trust, compassion and openness. I’ve applied these truths for years and always find peace when I’m following these natural laws. In our work together, we’ll create a 3-D paradigm for your life together, opening your life up to possibilities you may have never imagined, including concepts such as “both and” vs. “either or” and unity vs. duality. It’s an exciting and freeing journey that will help you experience more lightness, peace and aliveness as you live from an alignment of heart, spirit and mind instead of living mostly from the neck up. This work will affect how you’re being in the world, which is a louder message than anything you may be saying. It will have positive spillover effects in your relationships, work and health.

Relationships ~

Enhance your sense of love and acceptance of yourself and your partner

Create healthy, fulfilling personal & professional relationships while staying true to yourself

Learn a process to create more good "in the zone" days than bad "stressed out" days

Communicate what you need and want from the heart, without making your business or romantic partner "wrong"

Discover what your relationship “triggers” are and learn a process to reduce or eliminate them

Apply the spiritual truths to your relationship to deepen and strengthen your connection

Creating successful relationships starts with yourself. All relationships in our lives reflect some aspect of how we are treating and loving (or not loving) ourselves. And, this is good news! Because it's far easier to change what we're doing or how we're thinking than to change another. That's why we will first focus on strengthing your connection with YOU, again using time-tested spiritual principles. It's actually a relief when you realize that anytime we're triggered by another, by focusing on changing our own perceptions, beliefs and behaviors, we will naturally start feeling better about our relationship, and attract more of what we want. In this process I will help you get clarity on what you need to be your best self. You will also become aware of the stories in your head that weaken your relationship with yourself and others and learn tools to release these stories and create new beliefs that serve you.

I also highly recommend creating a State of Grace Document (SOGD) with yourself, and then with other significant people in your life. This is "a new way to build, sustain and transition relationships with honor and grace" http://stateofgracedocument.com/ I can help you create this, or you can attend one of Maureen and Zelle's amazing workshops (the creators of the SOGD). In creating your SOGD, we will incorporate information we discover about you and your partner using the DISC Assessment tool. The DISC measures observable behavior and communication styles. It has been successfully used internationally in businesses, corporations and personal situations for over 30 years. As a result of taking the online profile and being debriefed on the 23+ page disc profile report, you will be able to:

     ~ Better understand yours and your partner’s behavioral and communication styles
     ~ Communicate more effectively for win-win outcomes
     ~ Maximize your strengths and minimize conflict and stress
     ~ Develop rapport with others more quickly and easily

     ~ Recognize how your behavior affects others
     ~ Become a more effective leader

Relocation ~

Assess whether or not relocation is right for you now, or later

Create the vision of your ideal place based on 12 key factors

Identify where your ideal place is using your heart and intuition

Move through any fears that may be stopping you from moving

Create a personal action plan for moving ranging from taking baby steps to one giant leap!

Where we live affects us on every level: our mind, emotions, and physical and spiritual health. I am a HUGE proponent of relocation! By my early 40s I'd lived in five states in the U.S., Switzerland, and Japan, and had traveled to dozens of other countries and states. I've moved for personal and professional reasons and always instigated the moves I made. Without these "changes in latitude" I would have been unable to make some much needed "changes in attitude"! Benefits of relocation include...getting to experience other cultures (even if it's a move within your home country), meeting new friends, getting to know different sides of yourself, building confidence, feeling adventurous and free, learning new things, broadening your perspective, and becoming more connected to and understanding of yourself and others. I can help you discern if you are moving toward or running away from something by relocating and help you get clear on the essence of what you want most in a place you call "home" where you can thrive.

Cross-Cultural ~

Gain awareness of your values, biases and risk of attrition through a pre-departure assessment for overseas assignments.

Learn key differences between your values and communication preferences and those of your host culture and how to bridge any gaps.

Understand the normal stages of cultural adjustment and develop a customized plan to mitigate the effects of culture shock.

Develop techniques for reducing stress for you and your family during your assignment, reducing your chances of attrition, including heart-based communication

Create more peace of mind and confidence before embarking on a cross-cultural assignment.

Apply spiritual principles to your move across cultures to help you adjust more easily and harmoniously and to help you have a more fulfilling, enriching experience.

When anyone goes to live and/or work in another country, the adventure can range from being one of the most wonderful, life enhancing experiences to a complete disaster. I work with individuals, couples, families and business groups to help them create an overseas experience that is rewarding, enriching and successful on all levels. Having lived in Asia and Europe for two years, I have experienced the mostly positive and occasionally less fun aspects of living, working, studying and traveling overseas. Applying the spiritual principles of openness, agape, detachment, non-aversion, compassion, surrender, trust and gratitude in particular to your move will enhance your experience. Expatriation Benefits: Learn how to create a successful life-enriching experience both personally and professionally; develop a better understanding of yourself and the host culture, including stress triggers and how to handle them; connect more smoothly with people in your host culture; learn how to engage and integrate more deeply into the host country’s society versus just floating on the periphery; feel grateful for your experience by the end of your assignment. Repatriation Benefits: Move through the stages of repatriation more quickly and easily with a sense of renewed purpose and excitement to create the next stage of your life and work; gain knowledge of how to minimize the isolation, depression, anxiety and drifting that often accompany repatriation.
