Freedom for Life Coaching Solutions

Brief, Medium, and Extended-Term Coaching

Freedom for Life Coaching Programs are customized to the individual needs of the client. Personal and career success involves a journey of self-discovery and the development of one's unique talents, abilities, and skills -- Some of us call it a Hero's Journey; click here to see why!

For the logical, analytical "left brain", the Freedom for Life process helps you articulate your goals, organize them, break them down into manageable steps, and pursue them in a consistent and powerful way that will motivate and enable you to achieve success.

And what makes Freedom for Life Coaching so effective and different from many other approaches is that it's also grounded in the language of the creative, instinctive "right brain" -- AKA, the subconscious mind -- where change actually takes place.

This is accomplished by the use of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Parts Integration, Symbolic Modeling, personalized audio sessions, guided imagery, and many other creative, intuitive methods.

How Does Personal & Life Coaching Work?

To begin the process, we want to determine whether coaching is for you. To that end, we offer a free 20 to 30 minute telephone session to go over eligibility requirements and do an initial evaluation for appropriateness.

Eligibility & Appropriateness:

We insist on certain requirements having to do with your safety... For example, if you have an active addiction and cannot abstain from the addictive use or activity, then you are not ready for online or telephone coaching and should begin with professional counseling on a face-to-face basis. If you are in this kind of a situation, we will work with you for a few sessions to help you identify and locate appropriate resources if necessary.

In some cases, such as severe depression, it may also be required even when your issues are stable, that you have a "safe container" of emotional support available to you in your local environment. This can be in the form of a community or church group, a local counselor or sponsor, or some other kind of support network -- But, we do not and will not take chances with your safety. Coaching is not meant to take the place of professional evaluation & treatment, but to compliment and support it.

The Technology of Online Coaching:

We have several means of technology available to work with online coaching clients. Some prefer simply to use the telephone, others like Skype online services, and in many cases we use a desktop sharing program called WebEx by Cisco Technologies.

• Telephone: When using the Telephone we can make the calls to you so there is no charge to you for the call. We can call any phone in the world through a subscription service.

• Skype: Skype online communication services allow the flexibility of audio with video, audio only, or chat services. There is no cost to either party if both are using Skype. Occasionally there is poor quality but its rare if you have good quality computer equipment and a high-speed internet connection. In addition, you would need speakers and a Microphone to use Skype. A USB headset is best.

• WebEx: This program allows the most quality and flexibility of all in that we can do all of the above and we can give online PowerPoint presentations, draw on a whiteboard, and share anything we choose if it is on my computer. WebEx is a web-based solution so there is nothing to download, (except a cookie or two) and no risk to your equipment. We can also record every session and make them available to you online for review right away.

• Email, Chat & IM's: We find that email and Instant Messaging (IM)programs have a place in the coaching process, but not a primary role as it is not possible to "hear" the non-verbal communications when communicating in text. However, we can send documents, MP3 files, books & workbooks through email. IM's and other chat programs are good for quick questions and brief sessions in between regular sessions.

• Personalized Audio Programs: We make extensive use of many technologies we have gathered and learned over the years including those necessary to create many of the Audio's you will find at the Serenity Cafe' on this site. Once we get to know you and what works for you, we will be able to create or recommend various audio programs customized to your individual tastes & needs -- You can choose the themes, the background music, the brainwave rythyms, the type of imagery/visualizations, the hypnotic suggestions, and/or the customized affirmations!

• Books & Workbooks: We also have available multiple documents, exercises, eBooks, workbooks, handouts, and other written materials as needed during the coaching process.
