My services as a Life Strategist are highly effective and truly unique!
I coined the term "Strategist" to accurately summarize my unique talent at being able to help people go from "stuck" to "un-stuck". I have been doing t his work with good friends for many years, and am excited to expand my reach now so that I can help more people. Sessions are reasonably priced, and are each a full 2 hours long (any less is just not enough time!).
A Strategy Session is all about *you*. My methods in working with you include:
*My deep listening skills, which are highly empathic --that means I genuinely can feel into how you are feeling about this topic. Different feelings require slightly different responses along the way. Plus, you may share descriptions of actual events that took place, but I will still be sensing and "reading into" your feelings about all of it. I will listen attentively to you as you describe what you're stuck on and then what you wish you could do about it.. what the true desired outcome is.
*Then, I use my Intense Curiousity to learn more about the topic, so that I can make sure I'm speaking intelligently about it. And to cut down on your potential frustration level, because it's easier to feel understood and "heard" by somebody who knows a little bit about that of which you speak.
*My fabulous Research Skills may come into play at this point, if I feel that I need to learn more about your specific topic. For example, I've been known to check a book out of the library just to learn more about your issue, read the entire book in one night, and then have my notes on what I learned ready for our phone session the next day.
*As I'm listening to you carefully and taking notes, my ability to Identify the Main Issue and Articulate it will step up. We will make sure that your issue has been precisely identified, because sometimes certain issues have underlying turmoil, so it's important that we get to the True Heart of the Problem if we're going to do anything to shift it.
*Then you will hear my skills at suggesting Specific, Dynamic Steps you could take, to start addressing and shifting (changing) this issue. You're always allowed to say, "Nope, that's not a step I can take today", or "That doesn't feel like the right next step in my gut". You are an Active Part in this process; I'm just helping you Identify, Clarify, and Success-ify things!
*And finally, my extensive background as a high-level secretary will kick in, helping you write a clear Action List of Steps to Take. And, when to take them. You will write this list for yourself, too, as we are talking. It's the main result of our work together, that you will take from the Session.
Together, we will get you out of that stagnant, stuck, icky-yicky place, and moving forward confidently towards your goal!
Besides the List of Action Steps created during the Strategy Session, there is often also a second, supporting list that I will offer you. Typically a shorter, bullet-point, easy-to-follow list of Things to Remember Along the Way. These nuggets are typically little reminders and even quotes, that you can hang up on your wall!, to help you stay focused and positive about what you're trying to accomplish. This is just one of my Many Useful Tools that keeps you going forward so you don't fall back into Stuck-dom once you're off the phone with me!
And besides all these valuable skills, I also have a strong repertoire of rituals, or "little ceremonies", that I may suggest you partake in, as part of your Homework. These vary in intensity and energetic-awareness depending on the topic at hand as well as your own belief system. (Do you believe that your Intentions help draw certain experiences to you? Or are things more "random" in life for you?).
Follow-up Sessions are definitely available, at an additional cost. These are typically scheduled before the first, main session is over, so that you know you're going to be held accountable (by me!) and when. I have seen that people really do find Follow-up Sessions quite helpful, so that they don't just get excited on the first phone call but then lose all their steam and enthusiasm once we're done talking... They know they're going to have another phone call with me, on a certain date at a certain time, and this usually provides really good incentive to actually DO your Action Plan and DO your Homework!
You and I will come up with Strategies we come up with (together) come from a combined effort-- you may have more knowledge than you realize, about your particular issue, and I can help to draw those kernels of knowledge out of you; then, I also may contribute my own perspective, if I have familiarity with this particular subject. If I don't yet have background with your issue, I will go ahead and do some quick but intense research so that I can increase my knowledge of what we're talking about. I have often gotten books from the library and read the entire book, in one night, so that I could more effectively assist a client the next day. My very curious nature and my huge appetite for learning make me a natural at wanting to learn more about your topic and get to the bottom of how to fix it, change it, make it happen, make it resolve completely, or bring it into your life successfully.
At the end of a Strategy Session with me, people typically report feeling all kinds of wonderful things: more clear, more powerful or empowered, more ready to go for it, more confident, and therefore, more calm. How much more wonderful to be in *that* kind of state, rather than still stuck!
I absolutely love doing this work, as it allows me to share My Main Message to People on Earth. Which is, that you are more powerful, more capable, more deserving, and more divine than you ever realized!
I have even had a client tell me enthusiastically that I helped her "way more than her therapist!".
People have utilized my Strategy Services even for such big topics as "Do I stay with him, or get a divorce?", and "Do I take this big-deal, long-term job contract in another country, vs. stay here and keep trusting that a similarly exciting job opportunity will happen for me right here at home?" I have found that "The Big Stuff" can always be broken down into smaller pieces, smaller steps, which are easier to chew on and digest - and to deal with! This "Manageability" that I will offer you brings relief; you're back in the driver's seat! No longer agonizing over your issue, you can now go forward.
And being able to Go Forward on one issue in life typically makes you feel that you can Go Forward on *any* issue in life! Ta-da!!! So this work has many positive effects.

Truly I love this work, and feel confident that I will support and empower you to Go Forward Confidently!
In brightness,
