Coaching for Life’s Transitions

For over 30 years, I thrived as a business consultant, helping small and medium-sized businesses—start-ups and family enterprises alike—grow and succeed. My expertise lay in working closely with owners and key personnel, crafting strategic plans and guiding them through the challenges of execution. Coaching individuals and teams became an essential part of my role, and I found immense fulfillment in helping people navigate complex transitions.

Then, something shifted. Many of the professionals I worked with began retiring, stepping away from careers that had defined them for decades. They weren’t just leaving jobs; they were stepping into the unknown, wondering what came next. This transition—one of identity, purpose, and possibility—opened up a whole new world of coaching for me.

During this time I was undergoing my own transition. My passion moved beyond business coaching—I was drawn to supporting individuals as they navigated life’s personal crossroads: retirement, career shifts, health challenges, new opportunities, family changes, and more. Just as I had once helped businesses chart a path forward, I now found deep meaning in helping people embrace change and create fulfilling futures.

The Truth About Transitions

Life is a series of transitions—Some are natural and easy to recognize and others we create by our actions and/or inactions. We transition from infancy to childhood, adolescence to adulthood, without effort or choice. Then, the transitions become more personal: choosing a career, starting a family, shifting priorities, reinventing ourselves at different stages of life. Some transitions arise naturally, while others come from the decisions we make—or avoid making.

Change is constant. And yet, even when a new opportunity excites us, the process of stepping into it can feel overwhelming. That’s where coaching comes in.

How Coaching for Life’s Transitions Can Help

There’s no single type of client or challenge I work with. I’ve coached:

• Retirees redefining their purpose.
• Professionals navigating career changes.
• Leaders stepping into new roles and responsibilities.
• Individuals seeking to cultivate new passions and friendships.

When you find yourself at a crossroad and unsure of how to begin that’s when my coaching can make a decisive difference.  When you find yourself wanting to make a change but feeling stuck, I can help. Together, we’ll clarify your goals, identify obstacles, and develop an action plan that turns uncertainty into momentum.

What to Expect

A coaching engagement consists of weekly one-hour calls over four months. In our first sessions, we’ll work together to clarify what you truly want to create or change. From there, we’ll craft an action plan and navigate the challenges that arise along the way. By the end of our time together, you’ll be well on your way—equipped with the confidence and clarity to move forward.
