I have been a successful web-based entrepreneur since 2004, running a popular website (we see millions of page views per month) that brings in a large percentage of our household income through residual (passive) income streams, as well as more active income streams.
Whatever your business, I can teach you how to leverage the internet in simple and surprising ways, how to create a beautiful website economically, and how to utilize social media and email newsletters to market to your base.
I offer this perspective to my coaching clients on their path of creating their most meaningful and purposeful work in the world!
Don't know what your meaningful and purposeful work is? Believe me, it's all in you! Together we can tease it out, separate the wheat from the chaff, the meaning from the nonsense. All of this work is connected, and it does go somewhere tangible, be it entrepreneurship, or some other form of meaningful self expression.
My background teaching workshops on relationship skills gives me perspective and experience in this area (as does my own happy relationship of over 20 years). I am familiar with multiple models of relationship methodology, including Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and Mars/Venus polarity dynamics.
I have been fortunate to have more time to devote to learning parenting skills than most parents, and I've of course had the opportunity to put what I've learned into practice, with my elementary school age girl, and her younger brother. I was also a childcare provider for a decade, and have a natural way with children.
I am happy to offer my perspective, as well as resources and strategies, to my coaching clients who are looking to create a stress-free, enjoyable, and warm family environment.
One of the most satisfying things I do for my clients is help them to get clear on what they are really wanting and needing, and support them in finding healthy ways of expressing these needs to their loved ones. I have a knack for getting to the heart of what matters to create a harmonious life at home.
As a partner or as a parent, there is a continual unfolding process of meeting your own evolving needs while respecting the evolving needs of another. Often we are not fully conscious of our own unmet needs or desires, or have never had them validated by another. As a result, rather than calmly and respectfully asking for what we need, we express ourselves only while in a state of painful reactivity to our unmet needs, using frustrated and angry language. Our needs don't go away; one way or another they will be expressed! Expressing them in a tragic way that rejects the people we love instead of instructing them on our needs, is not fair to our loved ones, nor to ourselves. There is a better way, and it starts with becoming conscious of your needs, and having them validated by someone who understands.
My relationship and parenting work is a hybrid of coaching and consulting, as I am listening for and helping clients to identify their unmet needs, while also sharing relevant models and resources to strengthen and create a framework for long term healthy communication.
