Change Focus Coaching

Helping mid-career women to re-focus their energies to create simpler and more satisfying lives

Change Focus to Fast-forward to Your Future

Have you ever taken a photograph and later seen something intriguing in the foreground or background that you hadn’t noticed when you snapped the picture? Something you would like to see in sharper focus? Something that changes your perspective on the whole picture?

Now’s the time to explore the foreground and background in your life’s picture!

We all put aside interests, talents, pieces of self-knowledge and intuition to pursue important goals like family needs, education or career. When those needs no longer press on us, many of us keep doing what we’ve done, not realizing that now we have a choice—we can re-invent the next phase of our life.

Do you look at the picture of your life and dislike
what you see?

Sometimes, it’s awareness of the pressure we endure that leads us to re-evaluate. Isn’t there another way to have a secure and satisfying life without killing ourselves with stress and impossible demands?

How can you gain the perspective to see the possibilities?

Have you ever said:

“But I don’t see any alternatives.” or
“I don’t have any marketable skills.”
Just as science tells us we all are only using a small portion of our brain, we all are using only a small percentage of our talents. Sometimes it takes other people to help us identify our natural talents -- and that’s one of the keys to greater life satisfaction—using and building talents that come naturally.

What changes are you willing to make to create a simpler and more satisfying life and career?

While your talents you uncover might be natural, the journey to find ways to use them requires making an investment in changing the way you live your life now. Whether you’re seeking a new career, or finding ways to integrate your talents into your lifestyle, or creating a simpler balance of work and activity you’re passionate about, it all requires the commitment to make changes.
You can only change those things to which you devote time and attention.

How can you take action to create your new life?

Engaging a coach is one way to commit to creating change your life. It’s an investment in yourself and in your future. Many women who have made these life-altering changes have talked about the hardest part being the isolation of doing it alone. Whether you choose individual or group coaching, I can help
you to:

  • Discover focus-changing tools you can use right now.
  • Articulate the goals you want for your life and career.
  • Uncover the talents that are your natural strengths.
  • Explore career and leisure options that can build your expertise
    and credibility.
  • Organize the steps to achieve new life and career goals
  • Reach your new dreams.
