  Your Evolution Coaching http://www.yourevolutioncoaching.net/

  Certified Professional Coach -Career / Leadership

  http://www.yourevolutioncoaching.net/Virtual or in-person coaching to attain goals, navigate career changes, work through life or relationship transitions, or develop leadership capabilities. Engaging a coach is like hiring a personal trainer for your conscience. Built upon the premise of accountability, making choices or commitments, and putting them into action, coaching differs from counseling or therapy which tend to focus on something being 'broken' or that there is something abnormal or bad that needs fixing. Counseling and therapy go into the past, whereas coaching is about being aware and in the present- and setting sights on the future and how it can look different. Coaching encourages the articulation of your core values and explores how to best honor them in your life, striving for a more resonant existence for you and how you are in your daily life. It's a model of potential and possibilities- focusing on self-reliance, perspectives, resourcefulness, and choice. Although there is usually one primary reason a person engages a coach, benefit is realized in other aspects of their life outside of their initial goal or reason for starting with a coach; it encompasses the whole person and their transformation to a more resonant life.
