Are you feeling stuck because you aren’t experiencing forward movement in your life?

 

Are you unsure of your life’s calling and focus?

 

Are you confused about how to take the next steps toward a career or personal goals?

 

Life coaching can help with all of that, because unlike counseling–which helps us process the past–coaching helps us move FORWARD with our lives! And Janet would love to help you do some or all of the following:
 

• Help you overcome self-defeating habits or insecurities, manage relationships, develop new competencies, and build effective ways to keep improving.

• Establish a clear vision for your life as you think beyond the present, envision your future more clearly, and plan how to get there.

• Help you grow through life transitions–reassessing life goals/plans, finding new career options, and gaining the knowledge you need for personal growth.

• Guide you in your spiritual journey as you learn to hurdle barriers to growth and grow in your faith

About the coach:  

While Janet is a certified life coach, her natural coaching bent started as a high school English teacher and academic advisor when she used to say in her one-on-one conferences, “What do you want to do with your life? And how can I help you get there?” Her teaching and writing years have mostly overlapped each other in the last three decades. A national speaker, she has authored 24 traditionally published books–two of those best sellers, PrayerWalk and 50 Life Lessons for Grads. A writers’ conference speaker, she also hosts writing retreats in her home and guest house in the Sierra Valley in northern California.
