LIFE COACHING

HELPING BABY BOOMER WOMEN
MAKE POSITIVE CHANGES WITH EASE AND GRACE

Imagine yourself a year from today feeling that you are creating the life you’ve dreamed of, knowing that you’re moving ahead, achieving your long-awaited goals, and becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be – the person you know you truly are. You experience the excitement of your highest expression and transcend the life you are now living. To create a year beyond what is currently imaginable, you will have to create and commit to a vision that demands that you be the biggest, best “you” that you can possibly be. When you are deeply rooted in a clear, strong, and compelling vision for your best self, you will experience a level of joy, enthusiasm, love, confidence and energy that you may not have felt in years. As your life coach, I am honored to support, love, empower and inspire you on this journey.

I work and play with baby boomer women who are confronting changes, re-evaluating life and seeking ways to deepen and bring value to the second half of their lives. The kids are leaving the nest and giving us more time, energy and money. We are changing to more meaningful careers or choosing to retire. We are deciding whether our committed relationship is fulfilling enough for the next 30-50 years of our life. Passions that have been repressed for the sake of nurturing others are bubbling up and we can’t ignore them any more. We are educated, financially smart, healthy, strong and capable of making a substantial living. We are feeling the need to step into our power and start using our voices in new ways. We want to shed our old self images, create new ones and we need additional support to guide us through the next step of our life’s journey.

Some questions to ask yourself

•DO YOU HAVE A PASSIONATE VISION THAT NEEDS CLARITY, COMMITTMENT AND AN ACTION PLAN?

•DO YOU WANT SUPPORT, NETWORKING, ACCOUNTABLILITY, RESOURSES AND WANT TO BE WITH OTHER LIKE MINDED WOMEN?

•DO YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR LIFE AND OR BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL?

•DO YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS? WANT TO FIND YOU PURPOSE AND PASSION?

•DO YOU WANT TO FULFILL A LONG SUPPRESSED DREAM OR DESIRE BUT CAN’T SEEM TO GET GOING? (E.G. WRITING ~ VISUAL ARTS ~ TRAVEL ~ CREATING A NEW BUSINESS ~ MUSIC ~ DANCE

•IS YOUR FEAR KEEPING YOU FROM LIVING YOUR LIFE AS THE BIGGEST AND BEST “YOU”.

Life Coaching helps you create a rich life that reflects your highest values. You create a passionate life with purpose. Feelings, thoughts and habits that are holding you back from living your life fully are identified and replaced by positive ones that support your vision and values. Life Coaching helps you make conscious choices in your daily life that best serves you and your life purpose. Clarity about who you are and where you want to go empowers you to create exciting strategies that support your actions for achieving happiness and success.

Life Coaching is not therapy. Life Coaching is about developing strategic action that will move you in the direction you choose to move. It is about taking responsibility for the choices you make now. Life Coaching does not attempt to explain behavior, review the past, or identify pathology.

How does life coaching work? It is conducted over the phone or in person. So, wherever you are in the world you can be coached. You and I design an alliance of how we want to work together. I begin by asking extensive, specific questions and establishing a set of primary goals you want to achieve in your life. We look at your values (who you are) and look at how your life honors or conflicts with those values. We explore the balance of every aspect of your whole life and define your life’s vision. Through life coaching you will get a clear picture of where you are now on your journey and then identify your specific goals to realize your vision. After clarifying the direction in which you want to move, we create an action plan and we continue your journey together. There will be homework to deepen your learning and spur you into action.

There is no quick fix. Coaching usually lasts a minimum of 3 months. I speak with you once a week for half hour depending on what we’ve designed in our alliance. You call me or we arrange a meeting place if not at my office. You may also call or e-mail me between if you need additional support or encouragement.

Marilyn is living her life’s purpose and wants to see others live up to their full potential.

As a result of working with Marilyn the quality of my life has greatly improved and I am excited about my future because I trust my own rational mind instead of relying on others to make me feel valued and define me. She has helped me to find my “Self” under all the rubble of my families past perspectives of me; my values, my passions and my contributions. I feel very safe talking to her about anything. I trust her to be honest with me. - Connie, Professional

I learned that change is not necessarily big, hard and scary! - Peggy

Before I started coaching with Marilyn I was focused on what I didn’t want my life to be like. With Marilyn’s guidance, I now focus on what I want and how I want things to be or look. It has made a huge difference in my physical health, as well as my emotional stability. Even my long-time physician/friend noticed how much happier and more upbeat I seem! It really is possible to change your life just by changing your outlook on it. - Lynn
