What is a Lifestyle Wellness Coach?

We all have tried many times in different ways to tackle and manage the imbalances in our lives; sometime however, unsuccessfully or not completely. Encouragment, accountability and knowledge are often lacking. A Coach helps you discover/unearth who you are, where you are at and where you want to go and to create sustainable, healthy changes in your life with resources, tools and insights and a strong partnership with you. It is like running a race with a relay partner whereby your time and results are maximized while your efforts are halved.As my ClientAs your Coach

What happens when you hire a coach? (Previous Answers provided by Thomas J. Leonard, Founder, Coach U)

You take yourself more seriously.
You take more effective and focused actions immediately.
You stop putting up with what is dragging you down.
You create momentum so that it's easier to get results.
You set better goals that are more exactly what YOU want.

Where does the coach focus with an average client?Why does coaching work?

Synergy between the coach and client creates momentum.
Better goals are set -- ones that naturally pull the client toward the goal rather than goals that require the client to push themselves to the goal.
The client develops new skills, and these skills translate into more success.

May I hire a coach just for a short-term, special project?

Yes. Some clients hire a coach to help them accomplish specific goals or projects. Usually, however, the client keeps working with the coach after that because there are even more interesting things to accomplish.

Coaching works for several reasons:
Coaches focus where their clients need them the most and on what will help them attain their goals.

Many things, but the most important are: I offer you support, inspiration, encouragement, resources, help you focus, strategize, stay motivated, offer challenges, advice or silent support, all dependent upon the particular situation. I will always tell the truth and speak from my heart and experience. , your personal well-being is my number one priority. My health coaching uses a broad spectrum of wellness, such as self-care, natural health practices, exploring your personal foundation, incorporating your entire person and lifestyle. You set the pace, you choose your goals. You come to our sessions with expectancy....ready to share, explore, learn, discover, risk and see your life and well-being shift and take leaps. Most of the progress will be made by you between our sessions as you commit to the action plan agreed upon between you and I, and follow though.
