Question: I have a personal trainer and get massages once
a month. How can a personal coach help me?
Patt's Response: These are great strategies to honor your body. In a holistic approach, your mind and spirit
and body are connected. Each aspect of your whole person affects the health of the parts. Personal coaching can assist with focus areas in the mental and emotional zones of your life.
Mind and spirit fitness deserve attention.
Question: I completed therapy years ago and resolved the difficult issues in my past. How could I use
personal coaching now?
Patt's Response: Have you ever felt you could be happier? Do you want more out of your life? A
Coach can help you progress from mental wellness into excellence.
Question: I am successful in business and have lots of friends, but often I feel anxious and dissatisfied with my life. How could coaching help me?
Patt's Response: This could be a sign that you work too hard meeting other people's standards while
ignoring your own. Coaching can empower you to act on your own standards and feel more content. You may benefit from learning how to
limit commitments and say "no" more often.
Question: My life is comfortable and stable. I do not deal with change well, but sometimes I feel stuck and
bored. What could coaching teach me?
Patt's Response: If there's ever been a part of you that questioned, "What if things were different?"
Come to coaching to discover what these "what ifs" might be and decide whether you want to take action.
Question: I enjoy great relationships with family, friends, and co-workers EXCEPT for this one individual
who seems to work at making my life miserable. Can coaching provide any tools for this situation?
Patt's Response: Most of us have at least one "difficult" person in our life. While we CANNOT change that
person, we can change our reaction to them which will cause a change in our encounters with them. Coaching can help you develop your
personalized strategy for coping with difficult people.
Question: I am a stay-at-home mom with a very full life. Eventually, I want to develop my own career
interests and potential. What can I do now to get the best of both worlds?
Patt's Response: There are many stay-at-home parents who spend precious years expertly and lovingly
meeting their family's needs while neglecting individual needs. The toll this approach can take on self esteem and future happiness may not be
anticipated or visible in the short term. Life coaching during the at-home-years can foster an investment in the future and preserve
individual identity and fortify the at-home parent to meet family obligations.
