Coaching

Work with Deb

Specialties:
  • Life Direction Mapping
    Life direction mapping is personalized guidance and support for individuals seeking clarity, purpose, and fulfillment. Through introspection, goal-setting, and action planning, coaches help clients identify their values, passions, and goals and create a roadmap for achieving them. By fostering self-awareness, confidence, and resilience, life direction mapping empowers individuals to navigate life transitions, overcome obstacles, and live authentically in alignment with their true aspirations and values.
  • Performance Improvement
    Performance improvement coaching provides targeted support and guidance to individuals seeking to enhance their performance in specific areas, such as work or personal goals. Through personalized feedback, goal-setting, and skill development, coaches help clients identify strengths, overcome challenges, and achieve their full potential. By implementing strategies for growth, accountability, and continuous improvement, performance improvement coaching enables individuals to excel and reach new levels of success in their chosen endeavors.
  • Trauma-informed
    Trauma-informed coaching considers the impact of trauma on a client's life and how it may be affecting their current experiences. The goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can grow and move forward and to help them use their resilience to achieve solution-focused growth. *Trauma Informed Coaching is the practice of understanding the presence of past trauma in a client’s present-day experience, and how to use it as a guide for resilience and solution-forward coaching strategies. It is not therapy. Therapists operate under a medical model of care and treat trauma.
  • Personal Development
    Personal development coaching is a transformative journey focused on empowering individuals to reach their full potential in all areas of life. Through personalized guidance, goal setting, and accountability, coaches help clients identify strengths, overcome obstacles, and create meaningful change in careers, relationships, health, and mindset. By fostering self-awareness, resilience, and a growth mindset, personal development coaching enables individuals to live with greater purpose, fulfillment, and success.
  • Confidence
    Confidence coaching is focused on empowering individuals to build self-belief, assertiveness, and resilience. Through tailored strategies, support, and encouragement, coaches help clients overcome self-doubt, fear of failure, and limiting beliefs. By cultivating a positive self-image, mindset shifts, and skill development, coaching for confidence enables individuals to step into their power, pursue their goals with courage, and thrive in all aspects of life.
