"The only thing constant in life is change."

Chaung Tzu - 300 B.C.

Most people don’t like this fact and continually argue with reality. As a result they create unnecessary suffering. One of the keys to successful living is becoming competent in dealing with change. When we learn to dance with change we can positively impact the direction of our life. We become a co-creator with Life Itself.

There is great value in becoming more:

1. •effective in managing the changes life brings you
   

2. •productive in creating the changes you want to experience
   

The questions to ask are:

1. •what can you do when your life is changing and you are challenged to change with it?
   

2. •what are your choices when, as a healthy functioning adult, you find yourself presented with a situation that you seem unable to handle?
   

3. •who can you turn to when you want to increase your level of success and have greater effectiveness in your life?
   

The answer is easy. You can ask for help. Asking for help is one of the most powerful actions a human being can take. You can go to someone who can assist you -- someone who is a trained observer -- someone who can guide you into taking effective actions to produce the changes you want. This person is called a coach.

What is a coach?

A coach is someone who helps you identify your most important personal and professional goals, eliminate the barriers that have prevented you from achieving them in the past and help you take the actions to make those goals a reality. We work together to design and reach for the future you have always wanted.

There is a difference

There is a difference between:

1. •getting things done and becoming the person you want to be.
   

2. •crossing things off your list, reaching goals, making things happen, and learning how to be a co-creative power.
   

3. •between living by default and living by design.
   

4. Living by Design Coaching will teach you to be a person who rather than by default, lives by design!

People don’t COME to COACHING to

Stay the SAME!

If you don’t want to stay the same ... What Do You REALLY Want? How would you like your life to be? How would YOU like to be in your life? You have the power to transform your life.

Ninety-Five percent (95%) of people make changes when they are supported. When they are not supported the number drops to below 5%. Are you a person who is willing to ask for help? Are you willing to be that powerful?

Why a Coach?

Why Leslie as Your Coach?

A solid helping relationship is vital to change. It is important to get feedback and feel cared for. As a trained therapist I am an expert listener. I am aware of the dynamics of change and able to support you at each stage of the change process. And as a change agent, a coach, my skill is to motivate and inspire you to action.

"The . . . service a [coach] can really render

is to keep your courage by holding up to you a mirror

by which you can see the noble image of yourself."

I will also support you in designing a practical action plan and in doing small things consistently in strategic places creating major positive impact. It's amazing how far small steps can take us if done consistently over time.

For almost twenty-five years I have been helping people, just like you, overcome problems and achieve happiness. I inspire and reflect back to you what you need to see so you can find your own direction.

This is individual and personalized transformation in a setting carefully designed to bring out the best in you - and to make the best better. This is an opportunity to finally break through to the person you have wanted to be and achieve what you really want.

Why a Therapist as Your Coach

I am an experienced clinician, a licensed psychotherapist, who has graduated from intensive training programs in coaching in additional to my professional degrees. I have both a therapy practice and a coaching practice. My clinical background makes me an excellent listener, able to hear what you want to achieve, to identify the stumbling blocks that are holding you back, to provide respectful and constructive feedback and help you generate problem solving options and an action plan that will get you moving in the direction that will produce the results you want. I know how to motivate and I have a huge repertoire of skills to transform unconscious blocks into conscious action.

As a therapist, I have been trained to maintain the highest ethical standards. I know the importance of confidentiality and put your needs first. My capacity for empathy and compassion create a safe space for us to work. 

My Commitment to You

I will be your partner. I am committed to assisting you in succeeding and achieving greater happiness and in living a life of ease and flow. I will be your mentor and support, someone who is there for you, listening to you, guiding you along the way, assisting you through the process of growth and change. 

You will be asked to work for yourself and I will let you know that you are worth the effort. You are!
