Welcome to Your Turning Point Coach

Whether you love or hate change, the fact is, change is always  with us


Our lives are often marked with turning points and tipping points that can come from within us or outside of us. 


Perhaps you have unfulfilled dreams of the person you always thought you would be


How we deal with these life events can be challenging or even ignored


Many questions are raised as to what is the impact of our changes to others in our lives, and what can/should we do about it


How often do we choose others rather than ourselves, which lead us to wonder if we are living our true lives?



If this feels familiar to you, perhaps I can be a resource and fellow traveler as

Turning Points, Tipping Points and Roadblocks

Turning Points

Turning Points

Turning Points

Turning Points are a natural rhythm of life and work. Research shows our lives and careers seem to rotate though cycles lasting 5-9 years with an average of 7 years


Turning Points can occur as a natural cycle of being human and/or from a major life event

Roadblocks

Turning Points

Turning Points

Even though change is constant, we often experience many roadblocks in our paths before we are willing to change.


These include uncertainty of what we want, and the uncertainty of the impact if we choose to change.


This uncertainty leads to stress, and fear which no matter how hard we try to hide, will impact our every day lives and those around us.

Tipping Points

Learn more how Grace can help you

It is best to address your tipping points with your own empathic network rather than your analytic network.  


Tipping points occur when we know we must change.  The uncertainty and fears and stress is still present, but we know we must take that step forward.


This is where compassionate coaching can help


The help is a positive and supportive empathic relationship rather than just managing accountable goals


This type of coaching helps you navigate your turning and tipping points, especially when you may find yourself roadblocked by fears and uncertainty

Irle’s Pearls - Learning from the Wizard of OZ

About Irle's Pearls

Bad things can happen to all of us, whether we are good or bad

Bad things can happen to all of us, whether we are good or bad

Irle's Pearls are borrowed from Professor Irle Goldman back in February 2004.  Irle was my  professor in Psychopathology when I was getting my MA in Counseling Psycholoigy


These are always important for counselor, coach and client


I always return to these to remember how I can help others.

Bad things can happen to all of us, whether we are good or bad

Tornadoes can pick us up and drop us in strange and unwanted places. Shit happens! Death, sickness, losing a job, a friend, a divorce….Anxiety, depression, substance abuse, etc., etc. etc.…

How we deal with these bad happenings (and the good ones) ...

Bad things can happen to all of us, whether we are good or bad

Consulting a wizard, counselor, coach are ways to help us deal with these bad and good happenings...

... is the story of our journeys and of our lives


Will we follow the yellow brick road? Will we go forth to bring back the witch’s broomstick?  Do we challenge, mourn, flee, go on a heroic journey, fall apart, get help, , etc., etc. etc.…

How we help people understand their stories, their life journeys can help them change who they think they are


This changes who they are and what they can do.


Remember the wisdom the wizard shared with the lion, tinman and scarecrow in order tohelp them heal

We are very bad wizards, but we can be very good people

We are very bad wizards, but we can be very good people

We can’t cure or rescue anyone, even if our clients expect it.  We often don’t know how it works. We can help people to help themselves.


We can be a trusted – and sometimes wise – fellow traveler

Pay attention to the person behind the curtain

Be yourself…show yourself. 


 Be a real person. 


Your clients may learn more from your failures than your successes

The journey is what it is all about

The journey is what it is all about

The journey is what it is all about

Not the destination, but the process.  It’s how you do it, not what you accomplish.


How we deal with the “slings and arrows” of (our) outrageous fortune determines the stories of our lives, rather than where we get to in the end

We always have the power to change

The journey is what it is all about

The journey is what it is all about

But sometimes we are not ready for it. 

 

Sometimes, to change the outside we need to look inside, and to change the inside (like Dorothy), we need to look outside (like her friends)


Pay attention to the here and now…and the possibilities for change
