Life Coaching
Life Coaching provides people and organizations with challenging questions to help focus and inspire them to strive toward their goals or develop new goals. Part of life coaching is simply being a good listener so that we can provide you with the support and accountability they require. There is great joy for both the coach and the client when the person or organization achieves a dream or heads in a new direction they had not thought possible. A Life Coach tends to be more honest and firm than a psychotherapist because a Life Coach is able to provide the feedback that would not be accepted from friends or colleagues. A Life Coach helps people who are generally functioning relatively well cope with specific problems or crises that are outside of their experience. A Life Coach asks the right questions in order to help people gain perspective and insight and to find new solutions.
Life Coaches can also help clients focus their energy in order to make transitions or achieve their goals and dreams. Many people are looking for greater satisfaction from life, but may be unsure of which dream will be more fulfilling or how to achieve their goals once they decide on a particular direction. The desire for one's dreams may always be present, but the motivation to reach for them waxes and wanes. In short, life can get in the way of dreams. It is often easier to stay the same than to change.
Perhaps you are the type of person who gets really excited about a new project, but has difficulty following it through to the end. You may lose interest or become discouraged when barriers arise. A Life Coach can help you pool these moments of impulse into sustained determination. A good analogy is the desire to exercise. You may exercise whenever the impulse arises or you can hire a personal trainer to help motivate you to help sustain you in your desire to reach certain health goals. Similarly, a Life Coach can provide specific strategies to help you reach your desired life goals. Stop missing the opportunities that life presents.

Image Consulting
Some of our Life Coaching clients desire to change the initial impression they make on others with respect to the visual image they project. Improving your image helps to improve self-esteem. It is the outward work that complements the inner work being done in Psychotherapy and Life Coaching. You don’t have to fit a stereotypical image to look and feel good. An image consultant can be especially helpful during times of transition, such as entering the workforce after university or modifying one’s image to complement a work promotion. Other people are looking to spruce up their image when ready to begin dating again after a relationship ends. The reasons for seeking the help of an image consultant vary with each person. An image consultant provides an objective eye with regard to color, cut of clothing, and coordination while preserving your personal style. If you wish to speak with an image consultant in Calgary we recommend you call Trina at (403) 968-3442.
