Welcome to Elevate Life Coaching.
Take a look around our site to see if we can assist you in some way.
What is life coaching? People have been “coached” since the beginning of time. I have been coached in sports and life and it has made a difference to me and my family.
Life coaching is simply coming along side someone who is in a transition in their life and coaching them through the changes. My experience has been that people simply want to be heard and understood. That is what we do at Elevate.
We can’t control many of the situations life hands us but we can control how we handle those tough situations. Often the solution to our problems lie within us and we just need to talk and process the information and the emotions that are often involved to see a clear answer. You might have heard someone say, “I just need to vent” or “I need to talk this through with someone”. This is healthy and productive.
When we coach you we are that sounding board and offer some thoughts from our experience to help you in finding the solution within you.
How will you benefit from coaching?
It will help you make more effective decisions whether in your relationships, career or daily life:
You will design and implement action plans, have increased enthusiasm for work,
set and achieve new goals, make better use of your skills & resources
make more time available for significant issues, anticipate and maximize business opportunities,
improve communication, assertiveness, and initiative
be more creative and have the ability to obtain the results you want
have assistance in aligning attitudes and behaviour with strategic direction
have the enhanced ability to deal with confrontation, conflict and change
build sustainable business relationships and balance your personal life
What Life coaching Isn’t. It isn’t therapy. If you have serious personal issues you need therapy or counseling for, please seek the help of a certified professional counselor.
What can you expect from your coach? Someone who will listen to you and your story, encourage and challenge you to be who you want to be.
We will process your story and where you want to go and offer helpful exercises, changes in behaviour, books or articles to read. Your coach will encourage you, challenge you and inspire you to go to the next level in your life.
We are focused on people who are motivated, hard working, and inspired to go to a new level in their lives.
We connect best with individuals, students, couples, parents, who are looking to better themselves and their world round them. Click here to find out more about these programs.
Coaching consists of a 60 minute phone conversation every week. If you live in Calgary there may be times when we can meet in person. Between sessions you can email your coach to give updates and receive some feedback.
We suggest you make an 8-12 week commitment to connect with your coach so you can work through the transition you are going through.
We will also make resources such as books, magazines, web sites and conferences to attend available to you to assist you on your journey.
We believe in people and want to see you succeed. I have heard a story about a group of people who live in a very frustrating world. In their culture they call it a "crab in the bucket mentality. When you put several crabs in a bucket one will eventually try to escape. The others, being complacent and not wanting to change reach up and grab the escaping carb and pull him back into the bucket, thus preventing him from going AWOL.
The crab just wants to enjoy life and all it has and others are preventing him. You might be in this situation or maybe it’s you who are preventing yourself from enjoying all life has for you. Now is the time to change. You can improve your present and future.
