    Life Coaching reaches into every profession and touches every life. A certified Life Coach is an integral part of a person’s life design goals. Sharon’s skilled and diverse educational, vocational, and personal background is tailored to support your life design, both personally and professionally. She is available to help you articulate those dreams, desires, aspirations, and answers resident in you.

    Clients represent the full spectrum of occupations: CEOs of corporations, artists, managers, consultants, educators, small business owners. Yet, clients are also husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, even their growing children seeking a vibrant and purposeful life.

    Coaching is a powerful relationship for people making important changes in their lives. Well-trained life coaches are expert listeners and powerful advocates for their clients. There are four foundation cornerstones of life coaching:

Four Foundation Cornerstones of Life Coaching:
• The client is naturally creative & resourceful
• Life coaching addresses the client’s whole life
• The agenda comes from the client
• The relationship is a designed alliance

Standing on this foundation, the Coach:
• Discovers, clarifies, and aligns with what the client wants to achieve
• Encourages client life design discovery
• Elicits client-generated possibilities, solutions, strategies, and forward action
• With client’s permission, holds client responsible and accountable
• Affirms, acknowledges, and endorses client with unconditional positive regard

The Client/Coach Relationship
    A dynamic and successful client/coach relationship promotes. . . CONNECTION, COMMUNICATION, CONTRIBUTION. This powerful alliance is a co-active, co-equal partnership toward seeking, reaching, and achieving the client’s desires and goals.

    The term co-active defines the fundamental nature of a coaching relationship in which the coach and client are active collaborators. In co-active coaching, this relationship is an alliance between two equals for the purpose of meeting the client’s needs. For any number of clients, this powerful alliance may serve the clients for several months, years, or may develop into a life-long co-active relationship. Let’s take a closer look at the client as well as the coach in this powerful relationship.

The Client-The central focus of the client/coach alliance is the client. Clients design the coaching alliance. Clients understand and agree that they are fully responsible for their well-being during any coaching call session, including any choices, decisions, and actions taken. They are aware that they can choose to discontinue coaching at any time. They also recognize that coaching is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment, nor any form of therapy. Professional referrals will be given if needed and/or requested.

    Clients understand that “life coaching” is a professional relationship they have with their coach. This relationship is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional or business goals; and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals. The clients determine the duration of this alliance. However, clients understand that a sufficient amount of time needs to be decided for successful outcomes. The rewards and synergy of a client/coach alliance may be extended from any number of months, years, or even a life-long relationship.

    Clients understand that life coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve all areas of their lives, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. They acknowledge that deciding how to handle any opportunities, challenges, and implement choices is exclusively their responsibility. Clients understand that information will be held as confidential unless they state otherwise, in writing, except as required by law. Life coaching is not to be used in lieu of professional guidance for legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual or other matters that are not part of the coaching and/or consulting agreement and beyond the coach’s expertise. Clients understand and acknowledge that any decisions and actions taken are their own responsibility.

The Coach- As a skilled listener and advocate for their clients, coaches endeavor to create an environment conducive for trust and forward action. Coaches believe their clients are fully capable of designing their lives and achieving their goals, both personally and professionally. Clients are considered the experts in their lives. They know the way even though they may not realize it at the time. Coaches are skillfully trained to offer the needed environment for discovering the path resident in their clients, with occasional teaching per client permission.

    Coaches conduct themselves in a manner that reflects well on coaching as a profession and will refrain from doing anything that harms the public's understanding or acceptance of coaching as a valuable profession. They will construct clear agreements and will honor those agreements in all their relationships, including confidentiality, progress reports, and other related documents. Coaches respect and honor the efforts, contributions, creative and written works of others. They will freely offer credit where credit is due. Coaches will accurately identify their level of coaching competence and will not overstate their qualifications, expertise or experience as a coach.

    Coaches will ensure the client understands the nature of coaching and the terms of the coaching agreement between them. They will not intentionally mislead or make false claims about what the client will receive from the coaching process. Coaches will be alert to noticing when the client is no longer benefiting from their coaching relationship and would be better served by another coach or by another resource and, at that time, will encourage the client to make that change. Coaches will respect the confidentiality of the client's information, except as otherwise authorized by the client, or as required by law.

    Coaches will seek to avoid conflicts between their own interests and the interests of their clients. Whenever any actual conflict of interest or the potential for a conflict of interest arises, the coach will openly disclose it and fully discuss with the client how to deal with it in whatever way best serves the client. Coaches will also disclose to the client all anticipated compensation from third parties that they may receive for referrals or advice concerning that client. The Coach will strive to honor and adhere to the highest level of ethical conduct as defined by the profession’s coaching organizations such as the International Coach Federation.

Coaching Investment Fees & Payments
Those who seek life coaching services see this valuable alliance as an investment in their personal and professional lives. Clients routinely include these expenses as an important part of their personal and professional budgets. Fees are usually due the first of each month and are paid as a monthly-prepaid retainer. Laser Coaching is also available. Fees are listed on the Payment Center page. Clients may conveniently pay by check, money order, or credit card through the Payment Center.
