Steering Through Life's Changing Tides

How Life Transition Coaching Works

Navigating life's transitions is rarely straightforward, and it becomes particularly complex when you're managing overlapping roles and multiplying responsibilities.

Say you're a dedicated professional who has diligently climbed the career ladder to a leadership position. Simultaneously, you've embraced the enriching role of motherhood. Now, with these dual identities, you find yourself at a crossroads, striving to perform at your peak without compromising on either front. You've put in years of hard work to reach a level in your career that you've always aimed for.

Yet, as a mother, each day presents a balancing act between the demands of your career and the needs of your family. You're on a quest for a solution that respects both these crucial aspects of your life, moving beyond the feeling of being divided between two worlds.

This scenario is a reflection of a common challenge many face, and it's precisely where the 3 A's of my coaching approach: Awareness, Action, and Accountability can bring about transformative change.

The 3 A's of coaching: awareness, accountability and action

Awareness: Our journey begins by addressing the heart of your transition. Each transition has three phases: an end, the in-between, and a new beginning. We'll explore what beliefs, assumptions, habits, and patterns you need to let go of, discover the possibilities in the in-between phase, and experience the renewal of fully stepping into your new beginning

Action: In our coaching partnership, we'll create your personalized 'transition hub.' This hub is where we develop and store the skills, resources, and strategies crucial for your successful transition. Together, we'll create a plan that respects various aspects of your life. It could involve redefining success, setting new boundaries, or finding innovative ways to integrate your work and home life seamlessly, all while ensuring that your 'transition hub' remains a valuable toolkit throughout your journey.

Accountability: As your coach, I'll be with you every step of the way. We'll have regular check-ins to make sure the plan is serving you well and to celebrate your victories. When challenges arise, we'll tackle them head-on, ensuring that your actions continue to align with your values.
