What can coaching do for me personally?
Do you feel overwhelmed by a deep dissatisfaction with your life, your relationships, your work and deeply thirst for fulfillment and personal satisfaction? Do you have an idea of where you want to go with your life, relationship or career but don’t really know how to go about getting there? Are you struggling to make a tough decision? Do you lack confidence in yourself to make that career change or to go for that promotion but aren’t really sure what’s holding you back? If so, coaching is definitely for you.
What can coaching do for me and my team?
Coaching is a co-operative process whereby Life Solutions Architect partners with clients (you, as an individual, and/or your team alike) in a thought – provoking and creative process that inspires you and/or your team to maximise personal and professional potential by setting goals and mapping the way to achieving those goals, whatever those goals may be.
Mediation
According to the Holmes and Rahe scale, divorce and marital separation rank in the top three of the most stressful life events a person can experience. Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution which can be used to resolve any type of dispute including divorce and relationship separation outside of the realm of acrimonious litigation.
Through mediation, Life Solutions Architect seeks to limit the stress and trauma disputes of this nature can cause parties and their children.
