Life/Transition Coaching will help develop, support and enhance a specific life or professional strategy by having the client develop a plan and resources to ensure positive outcomes.  Life and  transition coaching encompasses many life situations such as a divorce, relocation, buying/selling a home, an illness or other circumstances that cause a person to change from one life situation to another.
Facing any life change can bring up the following challenges:

• Feelings of insecurity and being unsure of next steps
• Needs for encouragement, direction and motivation to make a change
• Assistance in clarifying goals
• Encouragement to move through road blocks
• Enthusiasm to reach successful goals and outcomes
  

   "During the height of my many transitions, Marilyn was there for me every step of the way.  At the most difficult times, I knew that I could count on her guidance and support.  She listened and helped me take a hard look at my many challenges and assisted in their prioritization.  She never judged.  She was supportive with our conversations, sent numerous encouraging emails and voice mails and we talked by phone or in person for about a year.  I always knew she was there as a sounding board, shoulder to cry on or as a cheerleader with her numerous questions that allowed me to discover my own wisdom and truths.  I simply cannot say enough about Marilyn and the coaching she gave to me through the most difficult time of my life."
