What problem does coaching solve?

Coaching focuses on where you are presently and where you want to be, with a goal of helping you gain clarity about your vision, identify obstacles to your success, accelerate the pace of personal growth and achieve results that empower you to live your best life - professionally and personally.

A goal is anything you desire to experience, create, get, do, or become. Goals contribute happiness and also a means to achieving values. Values are those things you take action to gain or keep. Take a moment to reflect on your most meaningful goal, the one most worth persevering for to achieve.

My role as your coach is not to tell you what to do, but to help you uncover the answers that lie within you. Consider me a catalyst for your success.

I am not only a Certified Personal Development & Executive coach, but I am also a client who has a Life coach to help me move forward and therapist to help me continue to heal from my past.

Positive Psychology and Positive Intelligence ®

Reveal Heal Thrive Personal Development Coaching is rooted in Positive Psychology and Positive Intelligence ® and seeks to inspire trauma survivors to give themselves permission to pursue their goals and dreams. Our goal is to build confidence, provide clarity, and increase capability with each breakthrough that happens by helping survivors combine their unique superpowers and values to achieve their goals.

Positive Psychology focuses on an individual’s character strengths and behaviors, which allows them to build a life of meaning and purpose.

Positive Intelligence ® is the science and practice of developing mastery over your own mind so you can reach your full potential for both happiness and success. Positive Intelligence (PQ) ® is based on breakthrough original research by Shirzad Chamine and synthesis of recent discoveries from Neuroscience, Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Psychology, and Performance Science.

As a Certified Self-Discovery & Positive Intelligence Coach™, I understand why only 20% of people achieve their true potential. I help trauma survivors who seek relief from anxiety and fear, which prevents them from moving forward in making bold decisions to prioritize themselves and live out their dreams. Rather than coach the symptoms, I leverage my Mental Fitness training in Positive Intelligence® so that I can work with them on the root causes that sabotage their desired outcomes.

The Difference Between Coaching vs. Other Professions

COACHING VS. COUNSELING

It is important to me you have clarity about the difference between coaching and other types of professional services such as therapy or counseling, consulting and mentoring. Coaching focuses on where you are present and where you are headed, with a goal of helping you gain clarity about your vision, eliminate obstacles to your success, accelerate the pace of personal growth and achieve results that empower you to live your best life–professionally and personally.

While coaching is forward-focused, counseling deals more with past issues in which you may find yourself stuck and struggling. We may occasionally discuss something that has occurred in the past, to clarify the present, but your coaching will not focus on resolving the past. A simple rule of thumb to know whether coach or counseling: If your past is an issue, counseling is your best option. If your past is simply a fact (regardless of whether the circumstances were difficult or negative), you are probably ready for coaching. If there is an issue for which you may need counseling, I will suggest it. With the support of a counselor or therapist, some individuals choose to engage in coaching and counseling simultaneously, but with a focus on different areas of life for each service.

COACHING VS. CONSULTING

COACHING VS. COUNSELING

A coach focuses on helping you walk your unique path to success. As the client, you are responsible for the results you receive as a result of coaching. I help you discover how to become more of who you need to be to achieve those results and identify what you may need to do differently. A consultant takes responsibility for a specific project, acting as a specialist*, providing specific deliverables and knowledge. I believe in your ability to fully experience your potential and will provide a safe, consistent space for you to develop your potential.

* If my professional experience (in the areas of Information Technology, Customer Experience, Data Analytics, and Self-Publishing) is of benefit to you personally and professionally, I will gladly share what I know.

COACHING VS. MENTORING

COACHING VS. COUNSELING

COACHING VS. MENTORING

As a coach, I focus on the development of people and the development of your unique path in particular. A mentor guides you towards a specific path of development. I am more interested in helping you onto the unique and divinely ordained path that is meant for you–which may differ from the path I have taken, even though the purpose of our paths may be very similar.
