why does everyone need a coach?

Most people believe the myth that somehow they can magically grow and change on their own, but it simply isn’t true. Real, sustainable change takes something outside of ourselves.

As a Christian, I believe that change is a result of being empowered by the Holy Spirit who is the BEST counselor and change agent of all. In addition to the Holy Spirit, God designed us not only for vertical relationship with Him but for horizontal relationships with each other.

Henry Cloud says it best, “The number one reason for lack of growth in people’s lives, that I have observed, is the absence of joining forces outside of themselves who push them to grow.” Coaching is powerful because change is smoother and easier when someone is partnering with you to help you in the journey. 

When you have a system for growth, the Holy Spirit and a good coach—GROWTH HAPPENS.

What can you expect from coaching?

• A customized and structured plan for growth.

• An approach that helps you learn new habits and thinking patterns that lead to ongoing growth and change.

• A confidential and trusting relationship. All sessions with a client are confidential.

• A fluid and process-oriented program. Effective coaching changes and adjusts throughout the coaching process. As much as we like instant growth and fast fixes, real change and lasting improvement takes time.

• While there may be some uncomfortable moments overall you can expect coaching to be Fun and Hope-filled. God designed each of us for growth and change. Graham Cooke defines growth well, “the joyful development of new habits.”

The coaching process includes:

• An in-depth, qualitative interview exploring your personal history and background along with goals and desired areas of growth

• Exploration of underlying themes constraining your growth and undiscovered or undeveloped areas of passion and potential.

• A series of sessions with Olivia targeting specific areas using a combination of one-on-one coaching and dialogue designed to heighten growth, foster self-discovery and increase clarity and confidence. 

• Homework assignments centered around practical steps for growth that heighten learning and foster new habits,

• Utilization of various resources to establish and deepen the learning experience.

• Prayer time inviting the Holy Spirit to bring wisdom, impartation and empowerment.
