Anger, Stress, Relationships and Holistic Coaching

Hi, I'm Bob Hill and I can help you achieve any goal that you have. Reaching your goals is usually very hard without outside help. Like everyone you've had plenty of goals in your lifetime, but how many of them have you actually achieved? If you are honest, Not many. Not even many of your New Years Resolutions, maybe not even many of your promises to yourself. It is just too hard to do alone. Usually family and friends are unable to help because they are unable to give you the advice and help that you really need. You know what you need, usually, but most times life keeps you too busy to do what is needed to reach yourr goals. This is where I come in as your Personal Life Coach. I will be there to help you reach your goals, and to get ahead in life. I will be the partner that you need to do what it takes to get the job of making your life better, personally, mentally, spiritually, financially, socially, professionally and all other aspects of your life. Let me help you to be a winner in the game of life.

If you hire me as your Personal Life Coach it is because you want to get results, in one direction or another. If you are ready to make this investment in yourself you are also ready to do some real work. In order to work on the goals that we agree to work on, I ask that you will at least make a serious effort to achieve them. If you can't complete something that you have agreed to, we'll talk about it and determine what is going on to stop you. And find out where we need to focus our attention on.
Personal Life Coaching is more about helping the client to learn to make good decisions than about giving advice. I may give advice if asked, I prefer to help you to map out your various alternatives, see where each might lead, and always have you make your own decisions.
I expect to serve as a resource, friend, and mentor, but I do not expect clients to get into the position of needing me (or the coaching) as a dependency. You are the one who will find the answers. I will provide you a better roadmap than you may have had in the past.

As a client of coaching myself, it has many powerful benefits for me. It brings out the best in me and has truly transformed my life as it will yours.
As a Personal Life Coach one of my goals is to make coaching fun, dynamic, practical, and effective. My client's needs, interests, goals, and values are considered above all else. I will provide a safe, supportive, nurturing environment, which allows the greatest possible growth for my clients.
I don't wish to force my beliefs or views and opinions on my clients, but I do strive to integrate respect, trust, compassion, non-judgment, responsibility, professionalism, sensitivity, integrity, healthy boundaries, and caring to my practice.
A vital key for growth is personal responsibility. Each of us is ultimately responsible for our own path and actions. I will coach you to the best of my ability, but it is up to you to implement and use whatever you learn. Often, I will invite you to take on or complete certain tasks, or try something new. It is up to you to accept the invitation, and follow it as you choose, accepting responsibility for the results. I trust in my clients' ability to make decisions, to make accurate judgments, and make mature choices.
I constantly work on developing my own skills. This is the best way to effectively help others. Whether it is through school, classes, workshops, reading, therapy, meditation, hypnotherapy or coaching, I'm always seeking to bring out the best in myself. Personal Life Coaching is one of the things I truly love to do, and it gives me the opportunity to bring out the best in others as well.

Discovering what you want and need.
Increasing your awareness of being alive.
Designing your own plan to create the experiences you want to have.

To help the client get organized, So as to get the unimportant stuff out of the way and focus more time and energy on what is truly important to the client.
To work on becoming more high profile so that a job well done is better appreciated by supervisors and others in the work hierarchy.
To develop better "road maps" at important choice-points in your life.
To get a source of confidential support through times of turmoil and transition.
To access an objective view of life just because it represents a different and unbiased view from the one they have grown up with.

Increasingly, people who might not yet be described as highly successful are also hiring coaches. They realize that they and their careers are worth the investment that will help them to be their best. For them, too, the initial goal of outward success is usually achieved. Significantly the end result of coaching often goes beyond the desire for outward success and leads to a greater understanding of the role of personal values, and an ever-deepening sense of personal balance and fulfillment.

A coach combines aspects of a mentor, consultant, motivator, life planner, confidant, objective sounding board, cheerleader, personal advisor, and, most of all, listener. Most coaches are expert listeners; they hear what is said... and they often hear what is not said.

Coaching is a fairly new profession and it is growing rapidly. There are many benefits obtained from working with a Personal Life Coach. Some of them are demonstrated on this page, and the coaching process itself is explained in more detail on this site.
Many highly successful business people hire a coach with the goal of obtaining success in a competitive world. With coaching they reach success and find that their personal lives become better balanced, and they discover a deeper and more satisfying authenticity.

Coaching is definitely not the answer for everyone.
Here are some distinctions to draw to see if coaching is right for you.

* Dealing with a wide range of issues.
* Working long-term, on a weekly basis.

Everybody could benefit from working with a Personal Life Couch.
Many highly successful business people hire a coach with the goal of obtaining success in a competitive world. With coaching they reach success and find that their personal lives become better balanced, and they discover a deeper and more satisfying authenticity.

Personal Life Coaching is like a consulting process. It is an ongoing, confidential relationship. Coaching will fit easily into your life, with a minimum of disruption, since it is conducted primarily by telephone and email and can take place anywhere.
Personal Life Coaching helps remove the obstacles, which separate people from their goals, dreams and desires. It is convenient, dynamic, direct, and focused. It helps clients clarify goals, needs, and values, and helps them to achieve them.
Personal Life Coaching doesn't focus on the past, coaching starts with the present and builds from there, moving forward to create the life you want. Some of the areas that people choose to work on with Personal Life Coaches include work, relationships, money, health, starting a business, a balanced lifestyle, spirituality, and personal growth and many others. Everything is completely centered on you, your values, your needs, and the changes you want to happen.
Personal Life Coaching is typically done on a weekly basis, three or four times a month It is usually done via telephone, with the client placing the call to his/her coach. Coaching over the telephone allows you to be coached from anywhere, thus maximizing convenience, your choice of coaches, flexibility, and participation in an environment that feels completely safe and comfortable.

I usually work by phone as most coaches do. Usually the Personal Life Coach and the client agree on a certain number of phone calls per month, usually three or four, plus e-mail interactions and calls when something dramatic or traumatic is occurring in the client's life and immediate contact is needed.

The relationship between Personal Life Coach and the client can be very personal. The heart of Personal Life Coaching is the individualized attention that is given to you. Our work together may be focused on career growth, on long-term goals, or it may be for short term goals only, perhaps to help you achieve a specific goal, or it might be to get through some difficult life transition.
