Where are you in your life today?

You can answer that question literally in terms of space and time or a stage of life. Or, you might also answer it with an emotion. Some common emotions I hear from my clients Include confused, frustrated, uncertain, overwhelmed and stuck.

Wherever you are in life, physically and emotionally you are seeking a shift. You may have wanted to change something in your life in the past, but it hasn’t worked very well for you. If that’s your experience, this process will change that outcome.

As a SHIFT-IT Coach I believe:

• You are naturally creative, resourceful and whole
• You have answers within you that you’ve either not accessed, or haven’t found yet. But they’re there, and I can help you find them.

Your Story

We all have messages from our lives that have subtlety or not so subtlety formed the story we tell ourselves. These often keep us from growing and shifting into our next selves. Seeing those messages in the graphic charts and process I use helps you become more conscious of the story you’re telling yourself and how these messages are playing out in your life.

I know this….

• You are seeking fulfillment, and are capable of attaining it. Really.
• You want a life that fills your heart and soul. Otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this.
• You found me because something I’ve said resonates with you and we’ll co-actively work to SHIFT from the “old story” and messages to what you really want in your life.
• I will “hold the space” for you to find out who you truly are because Dr. Seuss, the beloved children’s author, said what I believe to be true in his book Happy Birthday to You: “Today you are YOU! That is truer than true. There is no one alive who is YOU-ER than YOU.” [Emphasis is mine.]

I know what it takes to become who I really am

I am a Certified SHIFT-IT Coach. I’ve trained directly with, and use The SHIFT-IT Graphic Coaching Process®, created and designed by Christina Merkley.

I’ve gone through my own transformations or shifts by using this process. I once yearned for a home on the lake, to do work that gave me more satisfaction, more enjoyment, more flexibility and income. Today I have attained the lifelong dream of owning a lake home, left a full-time job working for someone else, and created my dream of working for myself as a graphic recorder and coach. I know what it takes to do this work. I will hold the space for you to do it too.

Nearly 50% of the brain’s resources are tied to vision.

When we’re trying to SHIFT something in our lives, we’re also trying to learn. We’re trying to learn what may have stopped us in the past from being successful, and trying to learn how this time will be different.

When you have a visual record of your coaching sessions, it will help you remember and stay focused. The templates designed for The SHIFT -IT Process® have been tested and successfully used for over 10 years with 1000s of clients.

You can read more about each of the seven modules on the SHIFT-IT Modules page. As we go through these modules, you will literally SEE through the use of graphics and coaching what it is you’re working on shifting. Each of the modules focuses on an aspect of beliefs and dreaming that will SHIFT you to your next, more satisfying “YOU”.
