PersonalApproach
We help individuals as they face, explore, and resolve life transition issues. The issues may be vocational, marital, personal, emotional, or spiritual, and are often a blend of all these. Most clients desire a combination of deeper personal awareness, a renewed sense of life purpose, clean, intimate relationships, and greater peace and joy in life. Our role is to guide you in bridging the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
PersonalClients
Most of our individual clients have been successful in their vocational life. They’re often in a position of influence and power, with even greater growth potential. They seek more self-awareness, self-actualization, and perhaps self-confidence. They are committed to step boldly into their life purpose, and build or rebuild enduring, authentic relationships.
Our individual clients fit some combination of the following profile:
- Are in some stage of life transition (vocational, marital, financial, personal, spiritual)
- Are either between careers or are contemplating a major vocational change
- Yearn for a sense of purpose, passion, mission, fulfillment, meaning, or destiny in their lives
- Feel they are using only a subset of their full gifts in their current vocation
- Sense that their current career, while financially or psychically rewarding, does not use all their talents
- Are struggling in one or more key life relationships (with spouse, parents, child, sibling, business associate)
- Desire more authentic friendships for both encouragement and accountability
- Are open to exploring their “shadow” issues: the blind spots or patterns that continually seem to sabotage their efforts or relationships
- Are normally self-reliant, but now feel stuck in that they can’t figure out a solution to their current dilemma
- Have been in traditional counseling or therapy, but with little progress or healing
- Seek a transition blueprint and “game plan” for their lives

During this initial meeting we’ll share our candid view of your situation and suggest next steps, ranging from “doing nothing,” to further evaluations, to a Personal Transformation Retreat, to a Life Plan, to Ongoing Coaching Programs.
