Your authentic self is the part of you that knows what brings you joy, and that navigates life with grace and ease. Some people name this authentic part of themselves their soul, or their higher wisdom self. Irrespective of what you call it, the wisdom is innate and always accessible to you.
So here you are in the driver's seat, heading down the road of life. The past is behind you. Sitting next to you is your coach. She doesn't tell you where to go, but rather supports you on your journey - reminding you where you were headed, telling you when you're getting off course, offering you short-cuts, and sometimes sharing some delicious stops along the way.
Most coaching happens over the phone. This allows flexibility in scheduling (no driving), as well as freedom of expression that is sometimes inhibited in face-to-face meetings. Sessions generally last 45 minutes.
"I feel like I gain a great deal of clarity in my direction and thinking after I meet with you. You have enabled me to change the way I think about many things. Thanks again for all your mentoring!" ~ T.R., High Tech Program Manager
