Life-Coaching

Where the Rubber Meets the Road

Let’s meet there…

I coach professionals with ADD/ADHD who want to increase their productivity and experience more peace of mind in the balancing of work, family and personal development.

What in your life isn’t working as well as you would like?

How would you like things to be instead?

Life-coaching can help.

What is Life-Coaching?

Life-Coaching is partnering with a client to increase their awareness and maximize their
potential professionally and personally. The coach brings their presence to the client in
the form of listening, asking questions with curiosity, sharing hunches, identifying 
limiting beliefs, and using coaching tools. The coach and client use the 
client’s “map” to navigate their internal terrain in the way that the client chooses. The 
client stays in the driver’s seat.

You stay in the driver’s seat. You are the expert of your life.

Body Doubling

As an ADD/ADHD coach, I bring in an additional element to life-coaching. Body Doubling. I will do difficult tasks with you, because many people need help getting started and benefit from the focus that another person can help generate. Body Doubling Sessions are customized to each person’s individual needs. Rather than adding items to your to-do list for later, we will check things off your to-do list. You will be getting the wheels rolling. Combined with the coaching sessions, you will get an inspiring blend of big picture vision, inner shifts, and where-the-rubber-meets-the-road support.

Hello! I am so glad you are here.

My name is Sarah. I combine my skills as a life coach with my decades of teaching experience to help clients live a life of joy and flow. I enjoy the energy and creativity of people with ADD and ADHD. There is a brilliance to the mind that thinks outside the box and makes connections in different ways. There is also a struggle to living and functioning in this world of schedules and deadlines, time and money.

As I watch each client reflect, get aligned, and begin taking steps toward their vision, I see how that ripples out into the world and spreads… into family relationships, relationships with colleagues and clients, a client’s relationship with themself. You make a difference. How you feel about yourself and how you live your life affects others. Prioritizing your well-being and your productivity is a gift to yourself and those around you.

What this coaching is not:

This life-coaching is different from some other coaching out there. It is…

  • not a shiny program of miracle solutions
  • not a one-size-fits-all plan for you to implement
  • not a system I teach you
  • not a habit-change program of smart goals and rewards

I am not an expert in your professional field. YOU are the expert. My expertise is in bringing presence, listening, clarifying questions, and coaching tools. If you are looking for someone to swoop in and tell you how to do things, this is not the right coaching for you.

This coaching IS for you…

  • If you are ready to take action to face the challenges in your professional and personal life
  • If you are ready to reflect and dig deeper to shift the thoughts and beliefs that hold you in familiar unproductive patterns
  • If you are ready to reveal what isn’t working, so that you can begin to reach results in a new way

What this coaching is:

This life-coaching is an individualized process designed to specifically address your unique challenges and goals, clarify what you want, and facilitate inner shifts that help you develop new ways of navigating. Together, we create systems that will support your work and life; we address underlying issues that hold you back; we question limiting beliefs that you may not even be aware are keeping you stuck. The process looks different for each client, but some things that tend to be similar include taking time to…

  • get organized
  • create systems that respond to immediate and long term needs
  • question limiting beliefs through inquiry and curiosity
  • increase awareness of conflicting inner parts so that they work together
  • bring kindness to self
  • body-doubling, in other words, I will be with you while you get started on those tasks you keep avoiding. Sometimes it makes all the difference to do a task together.
  • build self-confidence
  • set clear goals that you are aligned with, so that action happens without force
  • build sustainability and support into your routine, so that you are set up for success when the coaching ends
  • Break tasks down into small, doable steps that feel easy
  • Listen to the wisdom of your body
  • Track daily actions, to see and measure weekly progress
  • Reflect on what is working, what isn’t, and what shifts will lead to the desired outcome

How the coaching works:

The client and I work together in a creative process to help the client reach their full potential professionally and personally. The client sets long term goals, as well as the specific outcomes for each weekly session. Each session lasts 45-55 minutes. As the coach, I bring presence and listening, curiosity, skillful questions, and specific coaching tools designed to shift your thinking, visioning and action-taking.

We begin with a 30-minute free conversation on zoom to meet each other and see if we are a good fit. We will talk about what your challenges are, what shifts and outcomes you hope for, and I will answer any questions you have. If the coaching feels like a YES, we will discuss next steps. Because it takes time and consistency to see results, there is a 12-week minimum commitment, which can be structured in a few different ways, depending on your goals. We will discuss different options, agree on a plan, and set our schedule to begin.

Let’s talk about what is possible for you and your life.
