Life coach anyone?

Are you ready to make change in your life and not sure how to go about it? Have you been working at home and are ready to “get back to workâ€?? Or have you stayed in an unsatisfying job because it is “family friendly?”
At the risk of sounding like an infomercial, let me tell you about my friend who used to work selling ad space for Redbook, who is now a life coach. Like so many of us, she grew tired of commuting to a job in Manhattan and started dreaming about what was “next”….She turned to life coaching so her career fits into her life rather than dominating it.
For those who haven’t tuned into Oprah lately, a life coach provides an ongoing partnership designed to help you produce fulfilling results in your personal and professional life. Coaches are trained to listen and observe, and basically help you figure out how to tap into that inner voice that says I can do that!
Her advice?
1. Go to the International Coaching Federation’s website for a list of certified coaches or Coach Training Institute- considered the Harvard of coaching schools, and hire a co-active coach trained by CTI.
2. Have a sample session with at least two coaches before making a decision. Choosing a coach is a personal decision so your best friend’s coach may not be right for you.
3. Select a coach that is willing to listen to what you have to say. Hint: Someone that spends more time talking than listening is not an ideal choice.

It may be of value.Many adults get stuck in there “kid”if you will and it is sometimes difficult to move ahead.A good idea.Of cours,hopefully it won`t turn into an outrageous rate. D
Hello D,
Elle Magazine included an article on life coaching that supports your comment above…
“…She (life coach) helps people break through the barriers that are keeping them from living the lives they want to lead.� (Elle Magazine, Beyond Therapy January, 2007).
Here’s what else is being said about coaching’s customized approach: “Coaching develops leaders in the context of their current jobs, without removing them from their day-to-day responsibilities.” (Harvard Business Review, What an Executive Coach Can Do For You June 13, 2005)
The monthly fee for a life coach ranges from $250- $1,ooo per month for typically two hours of coaching via telephone. My fee is $350 per month for three phone sessions and I offer a complimentary session. Experiencing coaching “first hand” is the best way to know if a particular coach is right for you. Please take me up on my offer by emailing me at coachroseanne@gmail.com. Look forward to hearing from you, Roseanne
Just discovered a complete list of all marked down products at Amazon, sorted by category
and % off, ranging from 50% off to 90% off (thanks Sonja for the effort).
Actually I never thought Amazon would have articles with 90% off, but only in the category
Electronics there are more than 3000 of them – look for yourself, the list is on
Bargain Hunter (which is a blog of a woman who specializes in finding good deals at
Amazon, like Britain’s “Jeanie”).
