What “reflective beings” brings to the coaching arena is a frank, honest and caring approach to your being fully heard. And an opportunity to help you learn to reflect on what it is you want - as well as what it is you do NOT want – in a sacred and safe environment. You talk. We listen. We ask questions. You talk. You hear some of your own words with fresh ears, see scenarios differently and we journey together to reach your goal. Get unstuck, find new hope, glean new answers, and move on.

Coaching helps you look at who YOU are at the core – and learn how to reflect upon all these facets of you and your Self. Through clear eyes – with balance and direction – a targeted combination for success – you’ll be able to move forward - move beyond - with confidence and clarity.

As you reflect, plan, gain focus and vision for your own situation and challenges, the reflection of you that shines back in your own internal “mirror” will likely change. And the “you” who you want to BE will begin to emerge.

As reflective beings (and, because we journey through this together, our shingle is plural – beings ), we shall share the road – the smooth sailing straight-aways, the ruts, the speed bumps and potholes – to reach your agenda’s destination in better shape than when the journey began.

In fact, we liken what we do at “reflective beings” to a metaphorical "Personal GPS" (Global Positioning System). Together, we find your way - help you get out of your rut, on track, unstuck, create a map, stop spinning wheels, get pointed in the right direction, navigate your journey and arrive at the desired destination. With one eye in the rear view mirror, you will see where you've been and clearly "be" what lies ahead.

No judgments – no “I’ve got your answer, let me tell you what to do” scenarios. No drama – just you, your “stuff” – and a plan – to reach your destination to BE your best you – happy, balanced, fulfilled, joyful, rich in self-ownership – with a life you love living.  

Special Areas of Interest

While I enjoy coaching folks from myriad backgrounds on any/all subjects, I offer my specialty and most passionate services to two distinct and wonderful groups:

1. I love the theatre - onstage, offstage, in the audience, seating the audience, in the office, at the box office, backstage - anywhere inside these sacred places. I thrive in the theatre. Yet, it’s filled with other mere mortals like me and I tend to understand what makes them/us tick … or stop ticking. So, I offer my coaching services to folks in the arts – ALL the arts. And all areas of the arts, too. Performers, Patrons, Directors, Conductors, Designers, Producers, Front of House, Tech Staff, etc. – as a coach who’ll, without question, “get” what you’re all about so we can immediately jump into the meat of your coaching challenge.
   
   
2. Adult children and/or spouses of someone who is preparing for their end-of-life journey. This is an unavoidable role for most of us. And one that is universally dreaded. Yet, as I said, it’s unavoidable. We can be astute and keen with administration and paperwork and keep on top of all the “making it happen” aspects and keep things all neat and tidy – but … we are likely NOT prepared for how to BE. Most likely, there are health-related services available to the person who’ll be leaving us – no matter what the financial situation. But what does that leave the adult children and/or spouse to DO? Often, we get involved in things for which we are either not well suited OR are not wanted, on the part of the dying loved one, to be performed by us.

   I’ve found one of the hardest jobs to do is to just BE who we are. If you’re an adult child – you KNOW what your relationship has been with your parent. They know, too. That relationship could have been amazing, just so-so, or really dreadful. Same thing with a spouse.

   And I’m here to ASSURE you that people die the same way they live. To expect huge and transforming changes, epiphanies of enlightenment, etc. is to set yourself up to, well, just be wrong and utterly disappointed. I can ASSURE you that what you need to do is just continuing BEING who you are.

   Coaching within this niche can help you define your “role”, set your boundaries and shore yourself up for this difficult journey. This will not remove or even diminish the grieving process – which is a needed and cathartic journey – but this role-defining time with “reflective beings” can find you, at the end of this journey, full of acceptance and peace – not guilt, resentment or hurt. Don’t you and the dying loved one BOTH deserve that? And the path from now “until” that end time can be peace-filled, joyous and spent BEING with that loved one.
