“If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.”
― Audre Lorde

Are you constantly worried about how others view you?
More important than asking yourself how others view you, is asking yourself who and how you want to be in the world.

Are you clear about:
• your most important values?
• your life purpose?

Your values and life purpose serve as your foundation in the world. When you live in alignment with your values and your purpose, you know you are being your best self. When you have set the standard by which you want to live, how others view you becomes irrelevant.

So how do you define yourself and what are the standards you set for yourself?

“be softer with you.
you are a breathing thing.
a memory to someone.
a home to life.”
-nayyirah waheed

How often do you
criticize yourself?
In how many different
ways are you hard on yourself?

Imagine what it would be like
if you appreciated yourself
instead.
What would it be like if you
were gentle and compassionate
with yourself?

Just like a pebble dropped
into a lake forms ripples
that move outward,
so too, the energy you
direct at yourself
emanates out of
you and impacts the
world around
you.

Be gentle with yourself
and be gentle with
the world around you.

Respite and Reflection for Coaches - https://mailchi.mp/guidingchange/find-your-voice-writing-workshop-9176113

Would you enjoy a space to be heard and nourished,
and to develop your highest potential as a coach?

As a certified Coach Supervisor (a coach who helps
you achieve SUPER-vision in your coaching work), I will:

o provide you with time and space for reflection and
nourishment,
o be a second pair of eyes (and a shoulder if needed), that
enable you to explore your coaching practice from fresh
perspectives and discover new ways of thinking and
intervening,

o help you think through tough ethical dilemmas and better
manage “difficult” clients,

o enable you to surface and resolve emotions that get in the way
of your being your best self as a coach, and

o help you deepen your practice (and receive up to 10 hours of
ICF CEU credits).

Please email me at [email protected] if you are interested in a FREE TRIAL SESSION!

Become the Coach You Want to be!!
To My Fellow Coaches,

I have recently become certified in a coaching methodology designed to enable coaches to become more effective and confident. You can benefit from being coached by me if you want:
• time and space for reflection and nourishment,
• to be challenged to develop your potential and be the best of yourself as a coach,
• support as a new coach or a "tune up" as an experienced coach,
• help dealing with "difficult" clients,
• to engage in professional development (and receive up to 10 hours of ICF CEU credits) to deepen your practice,
• a second pair of eyes (and a shoulder if needed),
• to explore your coaching practice from fresh perspectives and discover new ways of thinking and intervening,
• to examine tough ethical dilemmas and better manage boundaries,
• to surface and resolve emotions that get in the way of your being your best self.
I hope you'll join me to explore the rich opportunities offered by this dynamic approach.

Do you want to find your voice and write your way into empowerment and healing?

Being a coach can be lonely: facing challenges on your own, wondering if you’re as effective as you can be, and wanting a way to keep learning and growing professionally.

This is where coach supervision comes in. Working with a coach supervisor provides you with a learning partner whose sole focus is helping you be as powerful and effective a coach as you can be.
