Life Coaching

---

After having moved past the worst of the struggles of social anxiety disorder, I have had an increasing inner desire to move out into the world and help people become the best that they can be. Another way I have identified of doing just that is through life coaching.

Did you know that Michael Jordan had five different coaches and Tiger Woods a swing coach? If it's okay for superstars to have coaching, then it's okay for you too! No one does their best in life on their own!

What is Life Coaching?

Life coaching is a one-on-one meeting between you and I in person, via telephone, or via Skype. My focus is for those affected by social anxiety disorder. Here are some of the signs that a life coach may be helpful for you:

• Do you feel as though you are on the outside looking in?
• Is everyone you know seemingly happy and doing well except for you?
• All of your friends are dating or married and you are the "3rd wheel."
• People take every opportunity and find fun in teasing you because of your situation.
• People try to hook you up with the goofy or weird friend of theirs no one wants to date.
• You call to invite friends out, but none will come, or maybe you don't have anyone to invite!
• Everyone in your life blames you for your situation.
• You feel trapped, like there is no way out of this predicament.
• You are on multiple medications, none of which seems to help.
• You feel like this anxiety is too much to handle on your own.
• You experience physical pain that you suspect is related to your anxiety.

I know a lot what life like that is like - I've been there! Life coaching is where you and I work together so that you can experience everything you need to be happy in life - having a great job, having fun and supportive friends, and finding a significant other! Life coaching is a bit different than you may expect in that I am not working over you as an expert authority figure, but rather side-to-side as a kind and accommodating guide, taking you where you want to go. You have my personal guarantee that together, we will find a way for you to achieve all your goals!

Why Should I Hire You as a Life Coach?

I have struggled with severe social anxiety disorder and have made it past the most difficult parts. At one point, I was so nervous and panicky at work that all I could do was find my arms sweating and shaking and my concentration gone. There were about four people, my parents, and customer service in my cell phone contacts. And women, well, let's just say that I was the "chronically single" one. But, eventually, I discovered a way to turn that all around to the point where I am now happily married, valued by employers, and have a nice little handful of great friends. I have also just graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee with a Masters in Social Work. While the MSW may be important to have in the eyes of some, I would rather you make your judgment of my competence based on life experience and whether you believe I have the ability to help you.

What Are Your Qualifications for Being a Life Coach?

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh and also just received a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. Credentials are nice, but life experience is much more important. I have gone from a life of total isolation, unemployability, depression, and despair to a life where I have a wife, many friends, a career in which I excel and am valued, and personal balance, happiness, and fulfillment. The combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application, combined with my relaxed, common sense, and down-to-earth style will make you feel at ease and will make moving forward in life a breeze!

How Does Life Coaching Work?

Typically, we will have a conversation over the phone (If you have Skype, that will work also), although if you live in the Milwaukee area of Wisconsin, we can arrange to meet in person if that is your preference. You and I will work together in identifying your goals, and I will support you in attaining them. You will receive regular assignments (Action is a huge key to getting better. There is no pressure to attain certain results - the focus is on making attempts and learning from them.). I am a very laid-back and non-judgmental person (hey - remember I suffer from social anxiety disorder after all!) and will provide you with supportive, open, and encouraging guidance so that you can develop the wisdom and insight which will enable you to move past the obstacles holding you back from realizing your dreams. I am a thoroughly kind and enjoyable person, always looking for ways to add good to the world! Helping others is what makes me feel alive!

This sounds all well and good, but what's the cost?

• The first 30 minute introductory session is FREE! This helps you determine if our personalities mesh, and if you think that life coaching is something that will help you!
• After some thought, the fairest method for payment seems to be to do so according to gross income earned during the past tax year. If you're not sure what yours is, check your 2010 tax form (IRS Form 1040 Line 22). Using this methodology means that those with lesser financial resources pay lesser, while those with more pay more, which is precisely fair.
• Click here for a precise fee scale.
• I can accommodate almost any time, seven days per week, so please feel free to make requests if you have a cramped schedule.
• Typical session length is 1 hour, but this can vary based upon your needs.
• I will call you via phone or Skype - there is no charge for phone time unless your cell phone provider charges you minutes!
• Free unlimited support via e-mail and the forum.

The number of sessions varies. Some people may choose to only have a couple sessions, while others may choose to have many more. There is nothing wrong or right about the number of sessions. Basically, once you and I agree that you are able to handle things on your own, then you are done and ready to face life on your own!

If you are ready to change your life into one that everyone around you is impressed by, please e-mail me for your free 30 minute introductory session today!
