Frequent Asked Questions:
What is the first thing I should do?

What is a Life Coach?
A life coach will encourage you and be your support system while you are on your path in life. A coach will be nonjudgmental and compassionate, someone you can count on, someone to help you define your personal values, help you look inside yourself for your personal truths, help you with your relational and communication skills, and help you discover who YOU truly are. A coach will validate your feelings and emotions while challenging you to look beyond your limiting beliefs to create a new and healthier belief system. A coach will help you brainstorm new ideas, share insights, and help you visualize new opportunities and directions. A coach can help you achieve your goals in a wide range of life areas, such as balance, relationships, communication, time management, organization, and the list is endless. A coach will assist you in making a specific plan of action to create the changes you want, keep you moving into the future rather than being stuck in the past, motivate you, and hold you accountable.

Can a life coach help me?

How long must I commit myself if I start working with my Coach?
Everyone is different. Some people require two or three sessions, but others have bigger goals. Individuals with bigger goals usually receive the most benefit when they invest at least three to six months in a coaching commitment. Some clients decide to tackle multiple areas, which may take longer. A client may discontinue at any time.
Why is Coaching becoming so popular?
Many of us, at one time or another in our lifetime, ask ourselves the question, "Who am I?" "Why am I here?" "How do we get over this mountain?", "Where am I going?", "How do I get where I want to be?" or "What's my meaning and purpose?" Increasing numbers of people acknowledge they desire more out of life in all aspects of their lives. They want to live more authentically and purposefully. These people understand that a coach is there to guide, encourage, and support! They are ready to invest their time and resources in themselves, with a coach alongside, to move toward greater life fulfillment.
How do I know whether I will benefit from working with a Coach?
If these 2 factors are true for you, a successful coaching relationship is possible!
- You acknowledge a gap between where you are now and where you want to be.
- You are willing to learn, grow, and take action.
What Qualifications Should I Look for in a Life Coach?
Looking for a Life Coach trained and certified through a reputable coach training program or institute is essential. It is also vital for your coach to be a good listener, be goal-focused for you, have good communication skills, be non-judgmental yet willing to gently confront you about ways that they see you holding yourself back, and be someone who specializes in your needs. Most of all, you should feel safe with your coach. The 20-minute Complementary Discovery Phone Call is an excellent opportunity to ask the coach questions and determine if the coach is right for you.
Do you take insurance?
We do not take insurance because life coaches are not licensed in Illinois and most states.
How often do I need to meet for Life Coaching?
Initially, we encourage clients to meet with us once a week for several consecutive weeks to build momentum. Once you have met your primary goals, you may opt to continue your coaching commitment, discontinue it, customize it, or move to bi-monthly sessions. It's your choice.
