8D Life
BUILD A LIFE YOU DONT NEED A BREAK FROM
THE COACHING
My mission is to help adults transition through life changes by working through their discomfort and ambivalence to move from a place of complacency and stagnation to self fulfillment and actualization. I am a life coach offering a holistic approach to empower others to bring their dreams to fruition. ​In the last year alone, I worked with over 200 clients to:
​
-
Identify their ultimate mission in life
-
Honestly evaluate if their actions are in alignment with their mission to live more fully and intentionally
-
Identify new beliefs to mitigate fear and friction from old or limiting beliefs preventing them from living to the fullest
-
Create weekly action plans made up of clear deliverables to measure progress directly linked to their longer term smarter goals
-
Move from a problem focused mindset to a growth focused mindset by focusing on what is within their control of influence
-
Bridge who they are today with who they want to be in the future
To Read Chris' Success Story!
I use my professional background in mental health, my nontraditional lifestyle, and my lived experience growing up in a chaotic environment to help others overcome life’s barriers and work through life's transitions.​In my coaching practice, I draw inspiration from the 8 dimensions of health outlined by SAMHSA. This model describes true wellness as more than just physical health. It's about nurturing every aspect of your being: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, occupational, environmental, spiritual, and financial.I encourage focusing on 1-3 dimensions at a time, recognizing that sustainable growth often comes from targeted efforts and gradual progress. Whether you're seeking guidance in overcoming challenges, embracing change, or exploring the depths of your own potential, I'm here to support you every step of the way. This alternative approach will help you identify limiting beliefs to break old habits and change thinking patterns. My coaching focuses on facing your stagnation by shining light on blindspots and getting you out of your comfort zone so you can begin living the life you want - starting today!
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the gold standard in the coaching industry and defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership. We all have goals we want to reach, challenges we’re striving to overcome and times when we feel stuck. Partnering with a coach can change your life, setting you on a path to greater personal and professional fulfillment.
DISCLAIMER - COACHING IS NOT LIKE COUNSELING
Coaching and Counseling have different goals, objectives, rules, regulations, licenses, and certifications to maintain.
See below for a quick overview of the differences as it relates to coaching and consulting.
COACHING
is a client-driven process focusing on visioning, success, the present and moving toward the future. Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
​
CONSULTING
provides businesses with expertise necessary to increase employee satisfactions and retention.
​
​
​
​
THERAPY
emphasizes psychopathology, emotions and the past to understand the present, and it works more with developing skills for managing emotions or past issues than does coaching. While I am not able to provide this service, I do have referrals available when needed.
