Together we’ll create a place, both virtual and physical, where you can be outspoken about who you are and what you want out of life. Our work isn’t geared towards training you to fit someone else’s idea of what you should be. It’s about helping you, as an individual, understand and develop what is inside you. There are enough people out there who will want to mold you to fit their specifications. Through coaching, you’ll figure out your own specifications.
Launch Your Life provides you with a menu of choices so that you can design the help that’s most helpful to you. You can mix and match:
- One-on-one coaching, either at The Self Development Place or by telephone
- Specific tools to help you be organized and productive, and to grow your insight into who you are as a person and who you are becoming
- Teleclasses that offer information and a chance to talk about things like transitioning to campus life, time management, homesickness, relationships, getting involved in activities, budgeting and many more.
- Access to the recorded calls so that you can listen later, at your convenience.
- Email communication on your own password-protected webpage with your coach.
The transition to college is loaded with tough moments. Remember Eleanor Roosevelt’s famous line, “You must do the thing you think you cannot do”? That’s true in hundreds of situations that happen every day.
Resolving issues like these spells the difference between triumph and giving up:
- A sense that “if it’s not perfect, it’s no good” that makes you procrastinate until it’s almost too late.
- Drowning in time management and the details of getting organized
- The sense that you’ve failed if you don’t immediately succeed stops you from trying exciting, challenging things.
- Being afraid that choosing your major is a permanent life decision that closes all other doors – leading to the inability to commit to a major
- Feeling you’ve failed because you haven’t “found your passion” and you’re worried that you’ll make the wrong career choice.
Your coach is your partner — not another parent — as you move into adult responsibility. Launch Your Life is resource that you shape to help you meet your goals and objectives.
A Little About Style
Coaching quite simply transforms lives. The issues are serious, but that doesn’t mean the experience has to be heavy!
Far from it! Often the most productive work is playful and highly creative! We work intensively – but lightly and with humor. Our conversations are frank and authentic. We apply every ounce of energy and focus as we partner, but we laugh, too.
Facing difficult realities in the process of major life transitions is sometimes painful, but it’s less overwhelming with the focused presence of a coach who never loses touch with the strength and potential underlying the challenge. By maintaining a learning orientation, clients are able to take away new insights from past challenges and become increasingly capable as a result.
Ultimately, Launch Your Life is all about stepping into your own Invincible Voice — and that, of course, is what moving into adulthood is all about.
