I don’t know if it’s due to Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, but I’ve had a lot of life coaching inquiries lately and have been doing quite a bit of copying and pasting of the following information. I decided to just write a post – I should have a page devoted to this information, anyway – to answer all of the questions I’ve been getting.

First, my coaching philosophy can best be summed up with an analogy: I’m like an athletic coach, where I attempt to get the best out of you as a player. Not for my sake or even for the sake of the team, but for the sake of the individual – you. If you’re the best you can be, (and yes, you can get there, and a lot sooner than you think), you’re automatically going to be a better “player,” i.e. spouse, partner, parent, employer, co-worker, sibling, caretaker, etc. If each person were living up to his or her unique potential, and living the life of their dreams, feeling fulfilled and blessed in every moment, the universe would be a more harmonious place. We wouldn’t be worried or fearful of things like, who’s going to be elected president . . . (But that’s another post!)

I ask a lot of questions and have you perform a fair amount of writing to get your thinking going in the right direction. It is my goal to make you aware of your connection to your spirit and give you a system that you can come back to, over and over again, on your own, anytime you find yourself “lost,” or “disconnected.” I will help you devise your personal strategic plan, and teach you where to find resources when you need them.

My experience is based on 22+ years of positive thinking, self-esteem, NLP, and extreme empowerment training. I was a systems developer and trainer professionally for 15 years and have been life coaching officially now for 3 years. I’ve been a motivational speaker for as long as I can remember and my personal mission is to motivate, educate, and inspire others to be their best through my writing, speaking, and coaching.

You can get from wherever you are to wherever you want to be; there is no dream too huge. If your spirit has inspired you to want it, you have the wherewithal to get it. You might just need a little motivation, education, or inspiration to put you on the right path.

I offer free 15-minute phone consultations to get us started and make sure we’re a good fit. After that, my current fees, as of September 15, 2008, are as follows:

Email coaching: $75 per topic. Ask as many questions as you want, I’ll answer them within 48 hours. Follow-up questions are free, as long as you don’t take advantage by trying to change the topic, etc. I define a topic as a major-life area, such as: career; weight-loss/physical appearance; relationships; home/housekeeping; positive thinking/thought control; spirituality; leadership; time management.

Phone coaching: Ask anything you want; go in as many different directions as you choose, for $75 for a 30-minute session, $150 for one hour. Here, the sky is the limit and while I will likely give you writing “assignments,” we will not spend more than 5 minutes of airtime doing anything that you can do “off the clock.” One hour with me will give you at least one month’s worth of work to do – are you ready for it?

If so,

through PayPal and let me know what type of session you’re paying for. I’ll contact you as soon as I receive the notice to schedule a time for our call, or let you know where to send your e-mail.

Please feel free to e-mail me at Debra_M@alltel.net with further questions about any of my services, or to schedule your free 15-minute trial.

Until next time,
Live Joyfully!
