January 6, 2010
Sarah is a certified professional coach. There is some irony in this as 10 years ago when Suzi and Sarah first heard about coaching- they were both more than a bit skeptical (humble confession- we may have even laughed out loud about such a thing!) Years later when Sarah was feeling really stuck professionally and realized she was missing expressing her creative side- GASP! She called a coach as a last ditch effort! Of course the experience of working with her own coach Michelle was earthshatteringly amazing. Over 18 months- they chatted on the phone weekly for 35 minutes- and the conversations they had brought new insight, possibility and options into the light! 18 months later, Sarah and her husband had sold their larger home, sold their cabin sold the farm (well not really!) and downsized- allowing Sarah to pursue the life of her dreams. This experience was so powerful that later on Sarah trained to get certified herself! If you are interested in learning more about coaching read on here. Here is a little exercise that Sarah often uses to start out with a client- to assess where they are and where they are going!
Take a sheet of paper- draw a big circle, divide into 6-8 pieces and lable each area: Spirit, Financial, Health/Wellness, Realtionships, Profesional/job, Emotional- feel free to create your own categories. OR if you are working specifically on wellness- you could create 6 wellness areas, diet, sleep, meditation- etc- use your own desires to create whatever you would like!

You can change the categories to whatever fits you best and then score yourself 0 (totally unacceptable) to 10 (fantastic and working really well!). Then- take it a step further- visualize what you would like each area to look like and write it all down in a journal or notebook. Now begin to look and see how you can begin to move in that direction with your current circumstances! You are off to the races with powerful personal transformation when you add intention into the mix!
