My Coaching Model:

Change is Possible

Change begins with you. It is your choice. Choosing to move forward liberates, energizes, and opens up opportunities for possibilities and growth. My coaching model is intended to be a visually inspiring reminder that change is possible. It has two interconnected parts: YOU and YOUR VISION. YOU Your body is an important indicator of your emotional and thinking state. When I visualize myself in this picture it is as if I am jumping for joy. Can you visualize yourself in this picture?

Arms open - openness: I am open to change and growth I reach out for this and allow opportunities and ideas to come to me. Legs grounded and strong acknowledgement and self-reflection: I acknowledge and appreciate my steps towards my goals, and I take time to self reflect on what is working and what is not. Acknowledging and self-reflecting help ground my energy and my actions. YOUR VISION I grew up on a farm overlooking a beautiful valley so connecting with nature has always been an important part of my values. Nature is cyclic, it restores and replenishes and represents growth and change. I hope that the beautiful pictorial representation can act 2

as a visual stimulus throughout your coaching journey and beyond for you to achieve your dreams and always recognize that change is possible. What is your vision? The Sun Visualizing Values: The sun is the source of illumination and generates growth. I will support you to illuminate your ultimate reality, your truth. This means your values and what you want. When you are aligned with your values, your behavior and actions reflect this. What are your values? What do you want? Clouds Discovering Dualities: Clouds come and go and have many forms and functions including precipitation. In this image there are two clouds, one representing what helps and one representing what hinders your making changes and aligning with your values. Both are necessary and one informs the other. By discovering these and other dualities you can discover your preferences and what you really want. You can dare to dream. Emotions can cloud thinking. If this is the case I will support you to look at the hindrance differently more lightly. I will actively listen to you. This may mean precipitation and release of your feelings, acknowledging your feelings, and allowing any unhelpful thoughts and underlying beliefs to come out from behind the cloud. You then free your intuition and your thinking to consider new perspectives. What helps you to lead the life you want? What hinders you leading the life you want? Soak up the sun. Lie down and look at the clouds. Visualize what you want your life to be and why. Feel the joy of your magnificent life. Allow the rainbow to appear. Rainbow Creating Change: The rain has stopped and there is hope and new beginning at the end of the rainbow. The light vibrations of the color spectrum offer healing and choice. The Sanskrit term Rainbow Bridge represents the bridge between the physical and the soul or the journey to higher awareness. How will you color your life? At this point you can dare to realize your dream as you choose your action steps from the wide spectrum of choices in your rainbow. Your pot of gold is your creation and as your coach I will be there to support you and acknowledge you along the way. Change really is possible. As your coach I will encourage you to: Explore inward transformation that creates outward change Think outside the box Be clear about what to do Create doable steps in a time frame that you can commit to. The Change is Possible coaching model is an ongoing cyclic process. 3

Here is a quick checklist to see if you are interested in beginning the coaching journey: Your checklist Openness I am open to possibilities. I want to learn and grow. I acknowledge that I have made changes before in my life. I have overcome obstacles. I have strengths because of this. Self-reflection I have been wondering how I can make new changes? Coaching Questions and Comments What do I want right now? Where do I want to be? What am I dreaming of? What do I want for my relationships? Congratulations on taking this step to explore how change is possible in your life. What ways have you celebrated positive changes you have made in the past?

Selfacknowledgement

What is it that you want to change? What difference would it mean to your life if you made that change? How would you feel?

In your coaching journey it is my sincere desire to support you and your vision so that you too can feel the feelings of liberation through creating the changes you desire. 4
