Who my clients are - Coaching To Fulfill Dreams

Beginning a coaching relationship starts with your own individual, very personal desire to figure out what your discontent is all about. Here are some real life case studies of my clients. A common thread – they each made the choice to invest in their wellness, get curious about their discontent and believe what they envisioned for themselves was possible.

Client – male, early 30’s – was enjoying life and making progress in his professional career working within his father’s business. He loved the work, yet was feeling the urge to make the move to build his own practice in a different city. He was concerned about how that would be received by his father as the plan had been for him to just work there and eventually take over. With some coaching conversations, the client gained confidence and clarity and was able to express his dream with gratitude and appreciation. He has now been on his on for over a year.

Client – male, mid 50’s – had an extremely hectic. He had many professional opportunities demanding his attention while also navigating challenging emotional situations in his personal life. To say he was spinning multiple plates at one time is an understatement. When we were introduced, he was ready to unpack the discontent, grab the reigns and invite more peace into his life.

Client, female, late 30’s – had become more and more discontent with her career decision after years of working as an engineer. She was feeling frustrated, sad and confused, believing she was stuck in that career due to investing so much to obtain that degree. When she began coaching, she dove right in and soon realized she actually did have a choice – she wanted to be a nurse. Coaching provided her with validation, guidance and encouragement to go back to school to become a registered nurse and fulfill a desire she always had to help people. She is now a nurse and one semester away from becoming a Nurse Practitioner.

Client – female, mid 40’s – was feeling unsettled, knowing a professional move was imminent but uncertain about what that move would or could look like. She was also incredibly fearful of making the ‘wrong’ decision. Although coaching was uncomfortable at first and challenged her traditional thinking, she began exploring ideas and options during sessions and set some boundaries for herself. Opportunities soon presented themselves.

Client, female, late 20’s – was in the midst of beginning a successful career in public education administration, yet something was unsettled for her. By most accounts, she was living a ‘successful’ life; however, she was far from feeling fulfilled – her dream and vision: earn her Master’s degree in Education and create an organization to support students and families by laying solid foundations within the public education system. She now has that Masters in Education from Harvard and is the founder and CEO of designEDengagemnt, PBC a Latina-Owned education consulting company, serving clients nationwide to improve outcomes for students.

Client – male, late 30’s – his sports chiropractic office was vastly expanding with new patients, which lead to new employees and, subsequently, new challenges. He was encountering many roadblocks, most of which originated in his own head, that were holding him back from carrying out his vision for not only his practice, but his whole life. He found coaching tremendously helpful through the transition, accessing new perspectives and strategies to overcome these self-imposed roadblocks. And, in addition to his individual coaching, he utilized both group and individual coaching sessions for his employees. This was a huge success, creating opportunities for streamlined communication while highlighting their strengths and bringing awareness to perceived weaknesses.

Client – male, late 50’s – has been successfully growing his company and was looking to promote a current employee to a higher managerial position. Of two potential candidates, his gut was suggesting one who has been with him just over a year, had immense potential in a higher role; the other, whom has been an employee for decades, may struggle with the promotion. He was feeling a sense of obligation to the more senior employee regardless of his presumption of their struggle due to their years as an employee. So, instead of making a decision based on assumptions, he decided to invest in his team and provided coaching for each of them to determine what their own next best role would be. The engagement was a success as the two employees each voiced their individual preferences to the owner and both are now in roles that support continued growth and stability for themselves and the business.

Client – male, mid 30’s – was increasingly frustrated and disenchanted with working for the family business. Felt overwhelmed with his current situation and was tired of dreaming of what could be. After two years of sleepless nights, he was compelled to stop ignoring his desire to leave, to face his fears of disappointing his family and to begin a career he feels passionate about. He has had the hard conversation with his family and although the transition has some heavy emotional moments to endure, he is now sleeping soundly and ready to focus his energy on the life he wants to create for himself.

Client – male, early 20’s – felt lost, confused and deflated after the isolation of Covid 19. He wanted to reengage in life and felt ready to uncover what had been holding him back. He was lacking time management and motivation and missed feeling passionate and excited for the future. He has envisioned the life he wants to create and is now taking the steps to get himself there.

Client – female, mid 50’s – after three decades of owning her own business, she was approached to have her company acquired to join a larger firm. She was excited for the prospect of a new challenge, yet had some blind spots about what it would look like transitioning from the sole business owner to being part of a team, leading and managing others in addition to continuing to grow her book of business. She is three years into the process and, although there are still challenges, she continues to develop her team and realize the benefits of her decision to join the firm.

Client – female, early 50’s – wanted to find purpose and joy in her personal life yet was emotionally, mentally and physically exhausted from her professional situation. She was newly promoted to a managerial position and felt overwhelmed with her new responsibilities to her team, while also completing her daily work. She felt she was always behind and was struggling to feel excited about the new opportunity. Her perception of how she was working was being muddled with self-doubt, criticism and judgment and she was working weekends without compensation to catch up. She has been realizing the importance of boundaries, speaking her mind and being realistic about expectations, of herself and others.

Client – female, mid 40’s – was feeling fed up with ongoing emotional challenges and wanted to explore different perspectives for her life. She was ready to leave the baggage of old, toxic relationships behind and gain the clarity, confidence and courage to live her life her way. She was tired of feeling angry and annoyed and wanted to live in peace and joy. By exploring gratitude exercises, journaling and other mindfulness techniques, she is now feeling grounded, centered and happy.

Client – Female, late 30s – client was promoted to a leadership position within her department and immediately felt anxious about now managing those who were former colleagues. She questioned her skills and knowledge and felt very unsettled, wondering daily if she really wanted to remain with the company. With coaching, she began to embrace the role of a leader and found the joy in her work. She felt a remarkable change that colleagues and higher leadership noticed. She feels grateful for coaching, as it was incredibly beneficial in developing her leadership skills and presence.
