Crowson, Life Coach |
For Men & Women in the midst of Change or Indecision |
 |
| Transitional periods can be pivotal for making
transformative and life-enhancing changes. Yet, they are also
times when men and women are vulnerable to losing their perspective,
their balance, their direction, and their hope. As a coach,
my primary purpose is to help my clients recover all of these,
and then to go one step further -- to help them make the changes
they desire and deserve in order to live their very best lives.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve
the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We
were born to manifest the glory of God within us. It's
not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let
our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our
own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
-Marianne Williamson , A Return to Love,
1992, Pgs. 190-191 |

| Do you need a Personal Coach? |
|
Are you currently in the midst of change, or wish to make
some change in your life? |
|
Has a recent crisis or situation shaken your sense of "who
you are" or threatened your security? |
|
Are you struggling to cope with emotions which yo-yo from
one extreme to the other? Grief, anger, confusion, anxious apart-ness?
|
|
Has your life been thrown off kilter due to circumstances
beyond your control? |
|
Do you feel stuck in the "same old, same old," not knowing
how to get out? |
|
Do you feel confused and indecisive about what to do next
or how to move from point A to point B? |
|
Has a recent occurrence in your life challenged what you have
previously believed to be true? |
| If you can answer "yes" to any one of these questions,
then I can be of help to you. Although like many coaches, I
believe that the client inherently knows her own answers, I
also believe that when any man or woman is in the midst of a
crisis, change, or transition, they often need more direction
and support than they might otherwise require. |
| What is Personal Coaching? |
Personal coaching is a vehicle for helping you
make changes that you want to make, get through crises or changes
that you're in the middle of, head in directions that you choose,
and to find the tools, support, and directions you need in order
to do so.
Unlike therapy, coaching is very action-oriented. It helps you
to "move on", while deepening your self-learning in the process.
Coaching is a vehicle for bringing your head, heart, and actions
into harmonic balance, so that you can make decisions and choices
which are based on your own values and desires. |
| How it Works? |
Coaching is convenient, effective, and affordable.
After the initial “getting to know each other” session
that entails a two to three hour face to face meeting, the rest
of coaching is done by telephone. These calls are normally made
on a weekly basis and are either ½ hour or 45 minutes
in duration.
As a life coach, I provide good orderly direction and support
to help you become connected, fulfilled, and less anxious. This
might include helping you to: |
|
Create more order and balance |
|
Take a new perspective on an old problem |
|
Live though emotional turmoil |
|
Work through transitional periods |
|
Clarify and achieve specific goals |
|
Identify the "same old, same old" behaviors and attitudes |
|
Consider alternatives |
|
Move beyond indecision and confusion |
| A coach helps you to get your feet under you,
set goals in your life, and then guides you through the process
of getting from “here” to “there.” Though
our coaching relationship, you will get in touch with: |
|
Take a new perspective on an old problem |
|
what you want |
|
what you fear |
|
what inspires you |
|
what your strengths are |
|
what your dreams consist of |
|
when and how you shoot yourself in the foot |
| As a personal coach, I motivate the procrastinator,
guide the confused, and "unstick" the stuck. This is done while
taking a woman's entire life into consideration; health, finances,
relationships, personal growth issues, spirituality, career,
and good old recreation. |

| Coaching Testimonials |
I have a background in the helping professions
and have observed many human growth specialists. Never have
I come across anyone as gifted as Betty. Her combination of
practical advice, humor and spirituality (absent the usual psycho-babble)
has helped me unlock long held toxic ways of thinking and behaving.
Now my choices and decisions are conscious, deliberate, and
authentic.
Marilyn, 59, Executive
Vice President
Nearly a year ago, my husband suddenly left me. With Betty's
help, I've come to view this difficult time in my life as a
tremendous learning experience. She's kept me focused on what
I CAN do: take care of myself, stay balanced in all areas, and
acquaint myself - perhaps for the very first time - with a strong,
competent, and resourceful woman - me!
Barbara,
44, Dental Hygienist
A few months ago, my husband suddenly dropped dead from a heart
attack. He was my whole life. I don't even know who I am without
him. Without the gentle and nurturing coaching from Betty Crowson,
I don't know where I would be right now.
Suzanne,
53, Bookkeeper
For years I felt like a misplaced woman, both in my marriage
and in my job. When I became diagnosed with breast cancer, I
knew that my life as it was wasn't working for me or for anyone
else. Thank God someone had recommended Betty Crowson as a coach.
Working with her has opened doors I didn't even know existed.
I feel like I'm finally finding where I "fit" in the whole scheme
of things.
Mary, 42, RN
