A Life Coach is a credible person, trained to intervene, with substantial life experience who provides you with guidance as you seek answers, pursue new horizons or live difficult life or professional situations, using various techniques such as introspection and visualization, to help you find your long and short term answers. In Career Coaching and Emotional Intelligence Coaching, one’s competencies will be developed and strengthen. A Mentor is more so specialized in a particular field and will address the professional aspects within his/her expertise. Most Mentors refer to this expertise as their niche. What is a Certified Traumatologist? A Certified Traumatologist is trained to offer trauma psychotherapy. After a diagnostic process to identify traumatic events causing distress, the treatment process will enable you to learn to stabilize yourself, resolve inner distress, self-soothe and move on more confidently. Why by phone? Because it is confidential and allows you to benefit of the comfort of your home or the sun on your patio. Plus, you may pursue your sessions anywhere, any time and at any distance. What’s Replenishment? It is a time to intensify the flame for your passion of life. It’s also to seek means to render your life more pleasant, harmonious and happy. It’s living intense moments of self-discovery. It’s time you take just for yourself! What type of exercises do we do? In fact, you learn to use tools and strategies to allow your inner compass to be more effective. You also learn to strengthen and use your strengths. What’s Self-Growth? It is always a moment of personal development. More specifically, people become more conscious of their strengths and more empowered in order to pursue life’s challenges. It’s also a way to promote your Global Health. Who needs guidance? Everyone basically because we all face Life’s transitions and unexpected events. When do we need it the most? When we feel that there is something missing for us to be fully performing or fully happy and that we can’t quite identify it. It’s a means to help those who feel burnt out, lost or in search of a spark for life. It allows to discover interesting alternatives through self-discovery. And, when we hesitate? Each person being unique, it is very subjective, very subtle and different for each person! However, when you feel that routine is dimming the color of life, Replenishment, Self-growth sessions and guidance allow you to see the magic of it all again. The exploration and opening of avenues, digging back up your creativity and experiences, invigorate you. What happens during a session? Depending on the type of session, we find better ways to manage the unexpected and this allows to view things in a more positive light. You will have the opportunity to use the power to visualization to reenergize yourself and pursue your goals. Do we need to get personal? The examples that we work with depend of you. Often, moments lived personally or witnessed by yourself are pertinent to your Self-growth. It really depends on the individual. Each person shares what they consider to be essential to their growth and works with the appropriate tools for themselves. Freedom of choice applies! What’s important to participate well and find win-win solutions? Sincerity is a must! Each person’s path is traced through his/her efforts to discover, improve, and find personal solutions. Integrity, resilience and respect of others are particularly useful values. What’s the end result? We become confident that we know the ways to keep the sun shining in our life even when there are clouds in our sky! Often, serenity and happiness to be alive are the benefits experienced. We also become more aware of our inner strengths and how to use these to our benefit. Do we need to have identified a problem? Not necessarily. Often, people feel uneasy about something in their life and can’t quite identify why, so they call. We help clarify the reasons behind the uneasiness through guided introspection. Then, clearly seeing their goals, people make the right choices for themselves with certainty. This usually brings the comfort of knowing that you are an acting force in your destiny. How long does it take? When it is Replenishment, it is a boost. Therefore, a short term interaction, like a Workshop or Audio-Conferencing, brings instant benefit. When the situation is complex, the problem profound, it requires different steps, therefore, more time. Our most frequently selected approach in those situations is to suggest a three to five hour plan over one or two months. This has been our most popular request. In cases of Mentoring, often School Boards ask for a Custom made Workshop; Individuals will prefer a three to six month Mentoring with a follow-up the following year. In these, it is a case by case decision. A novice teacher will generally select a once a month session of a couple of hours over one year. Why groups? People like the interaction between participants because it’s motivating. The dynamism and richness of the exchange is inspiring for most. Once people get to know each other, the atmosphere is heightened by the positive sharing of experiences. Some, however, prefer individualized sessions when the matter is sensitive. Then, it’s confidential and needs to remain that way until a person is ready to share. Why a weekend excursion or a trip and replenishment? It’s so pleasant to change environment! Plus, you’re more relaxed and you can just take care of yourself and focus on your personal Wellness and Growth. What is a FLASH session? It’s a two to three hour session or Workshop that can take place in a morning, an afternoon or an evening in order to clarify a specific situation. When you live a life transition, you need to clarify, plan, see the whole picture. It’s ideal in the case of the first step to a career transition. It is a helping hand that soothes you and provides you with support when the death of a loved one strikes unexpectedly! The certainty of knowing you made the right decision comes from the clarity of your motives and the knowledge that alternative actions are possible. You need to have envisioned the outcome and both the positive and negative consequences deriving from your choice in order to be able to feel that certainty. It allows you to be better prepared for the unexpected! Who benefits from a FLASH session? A person or a group that requires immediate and rapid intervention. When do people seek a FLASH session and why? In businesses or careers, it’s generally after a huge project when people need to refocus their full attention after making the point on what has been accomplished so that they may pursue towards clear goals once again. In the case of the sudden death of a loved one, it is to find one’s bearing! The entire family or a sole member may need assistance rapidly. Often, people have assistance during the first weeks and then, when this support fades, they slip into a void. They need a helping hand to help them perceive life’s wish to claim them back. Which type of Workshops can be pursued after a FLASH session? Recognizing and actualizing your potential. (1 - 2) Managing your Stress and develop your creativity Motivation : Gearing into the zone!
