Professional Coaching and Facilitation

Our career is such a big part of life. From obtaining the necessary education, to finding the job, to trying to advance, work requires a lot of our time, focus and energy. It’s no wonder that many people feel that their career defines who they are. For all these reasons, feeling dissatisfied professionally can be very frustrating. Whether that dissatisfaction comes from working with difficult colleagues or clients, conflict between work demands and personal priorities, or losing interest in a profession that was once inspiring and energizing, it can be hard to know what to do about it. While we may seek quick fixes for these problems, those “fixes” are temporary and do not support lasting, meaningful change. When the next challenge comes, we’re back to square one.

Regardless of your career, professional coaching and facilitation can offer support and guidance to help you overcome challenges, make changes and accomplish goals. However, it is important to recognize that “external” dissatisfaction and difficulties can only be resolved through “internal” changes. The personal and the professional are intertwined. When we gain self-awareness and self-knowledge, we gain trust in our inner wisdom and can more skillfully navigate both our professional and personal lives.

Why Seek Professional Coaching and Facilitation?

Professional coaching and facilitation enables you to recognize the habits of thought and emotion underneath behaviors that do not align with your true values. This lack of alignment contributes to feelings of discontent, unhappiness and that “stuck” feeling when you aren’t sure how to resolve a conflict at work or how to bring back a sense of purpose. It signals that you are working and living in ways that are not authentic to who you really are.

Coaching offers those who are ready to live and work more authentically the support, space and structure in which to begin the transformation process. The terms coaching and facilitation describe a fluid, multi-faceted approach that helps you find your authentic answers to your own questions. This approach includes offering guidance, counsel, mentoring and spiritual direction, as needed, and supporting you when the process becomes difficult. Once you can recognize and understand your physical reactions and mental and emotional patterns, you will be better able to find direction and feel more fulfilled. Understanding who you are and what you bring on a deeper level will help you develop a clarity of purpose that will bring more ease into your professional and personal life. Coaching and personal facilitation helps you learn how to recognize and connect with your authentic self.
