Find it hard to "just do it!"? Are you ready to be coached for...
Life Purpose
Character Makeover ~ Mind Renewal
Spiritual Direction
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. ~ Jeremiah 29:11
Too often
we present our plans to God and ask him to bless them, without considering
that our plan may not be his plan. How do we "know" the plan
God has for us? Hire a coach to help guide you through the process!
What is coaching?
The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as: "An ongoing relationship between the professional coach and the client, which focuses on the client taking action toward the realization of their vision, goals or desires. Coaching uses a process of inquiry and personal discovery to build the client's level of awareness and responsibility; and provides the client with structure support and feedback."
What is the focus of coaching?
Coaching focuses on what you want! What do you care about deeply? What desires, experiences, and talents has God given you? How are you unique?
Following
God's vision for your life can transform some of your most mundane moments
into magnificent ones. Imagine how much richer your life will be when
you are able to:
- Discover God's divine plan for you. Live a life with purpose that matters.
- Be more effective in: life transitions, the spiritual disciplines and adapting to change.
- Identify your most important goals and pursue your passion.
- Craft a strategic life plan using your strengths, skills, and talents to live out your purpose,
- Deepen your ability to know God and connect with others.
- Confront the fears that prevent you from moving forward.
- Assess which risks are worth taking and which are not.
- Identify
relational blind spots and minimize obstacles that hold you back from
a fulfilled life.

What are
the benefits of coaching?
Working with a coach dramatically increases the likelihood that you will
reach your desired level of success. According to the American Society
of Training and Development, you have a 25 percent chance of achieving
an idea you decide to adopt. But when you have another person holding
you accountable to implement your plan (which a coach does), you will
experience a 95 percent success rate.
A coach also
helps you recognize and build on your strengths. A coach identifies what
is holding you back and holds you accountable to reach the goals you have
set for yourself.

your life, contact Kimberly today.
How does
coaching work?
The coaching partnership focuses on equipping and empowering you to make
the changes you desire in yourself and in your relationships. It is about
reaching your maximum potential and helping you stay focused as you recognize,
organize, energize and realize your God-given purposes.
Coaching is often done outside of the church or office, such as, coffee shop, over the phone, via email or fax. It is an active partnership--friendly and light!
Through conversation,
questionnaires and assessments, we begin to discern and clarify the answers
to these and similar questions:
Where are you now?
Where do you want to go?
What is holding you back?
What are you skills and talents?
As you begin to move toward your goals, you will hit obstacles. You doubt, you get discouraged, you delay doing the very things you need to do. A coach will help you stay focused on the big picture, encourage you, brainstorm your options, empower you to make wise choices and help you tolerant the pain of setbacks and plateaus.
Realize that when you are intentional and persevere through any difficult transitions, you will have the satisfaction of saying, "I did it!" You experience the joy that comes from making the changes you desired (even when you thought you couldn't).
Coaching with Kimberly ~ FAQ's:
Is the
coaching relationship, like professional counseling, confidential?
Individual coaching sessions are confidential, and every effort is made
to insure your privacy. No information will be shared with outside sources
except when all parties have given express written permission or when
it is required by the law to disclose personal information.
What's
the difference between coaching and counseling? Aren't they the same?
Coaching and counseling are very different. Coaching focuses on growing
intentionally with purpose and passion and builds on your skills, talents
and strengths. Counseling focuses on healing from the trauma and pain
of the past and often addresses weaknesses.
I know
coaching is very popular right now. But is it really worth the investment
of time and money?
One of the greatest gifts of having a coach is that he or she often can
see and help you identify those obstacles that are keeping you from progressing
to the next level. Awareness of these issues will better position you
to develop a plan of action and move forward.
Coaching is about getting results and realizing your dreams. Having a coach is like being a plant growing in fertile, well-watered soil with plenty of sun compared to growing in rocky, dry ground. The difference is dramatic. Most clients see an immediate difference in the quantity and quality of movement toward their spiritual development and goals.
What are
your fees, and what forms of payment do you accept?
For individual coaching we meet on the phone for 45 minutes to help you
define and get the results you want. Once we agree on a convenient time
to talk, I will call you for your session. If you initially commit to
more than one session, you can discontinue at any time. The cost is $50
per session (PayPal or check) and includes a 45-minute telephone call
and limited email. You pay on a by session or monthly basis.
What about
biblical counseling?
I also provide
biblical counseling for the same cost and same terms. I am not a licensed
clinical therapist and may suggest you seek professional services.
