Truth relieves the pressure of working hard at acting like the person we are not in order to blend with those who are pretending to be whom they are not. Facing our TRUTH is acceptance of the essence of who we are and learning to love others as they are." Melanie Foote-Davis Mission: to inspire women and girls to assess present circumstances then create and experience a life of choice and fulfillment. I am often asked how did I begin coaching. I would love to be able t tell you a fascinating story about having an epiphany and realizing that coaching was what I wanted to do. I wish I had a “defining moment” story for you. The truth is my journey into becoming a coach has been really gradual. My transition into the coaching profession was constantly evolving. The defining moment for me was very transparent. I did not find coaching. Coaching found me. I worked with a coach as I trained to become a coach. I continued to work my existing job planning to gradually transition into coaching full-time. That did not happen for quite some time. I procrastinated on pursuing my newfound passion. I would like to believe that I allowed my life’s circumstances to stand in the way of my progress. My coach helped me to realize that it was not my circumstances but my own fears acting as a barrier. Life’s barriers can often be transparent. What’s standing in your way that you don’t see? Working with a coach helped me to become clear about many aspects of my life. I’d like to offer you that same gift. Let me ask you a few questions: Are you doing what you love to do for a living? Are your finances where you want them to be? Are you living your dream? Do you do what you want instead of what others want you to do? Do you have "me-time" on a regular basis? Is your day planned according to what nurtures your needs? Do you believe that what you dream about the most can happen for you? Are you sleeping well? Are you in relationships that invigorate you? If you answered “no” to any of these questions, coaching is for you. If you said, “yes” to something today but really wanted to say “no”, coaching is for you. If you have allowed your current situation or other people’s needs to stand in the way of relationships, career or other opportunities and you are ready to act now, then coaching is for you. I’ d be more than happy to serve as your coach as you embrace God’s design for your life. There is a saying “We are children of those who chose to survive.” Let’s take it a step further. Let’s choose to go beyond surviving and choose to start living. Choose to start from where you are at this very moment. Let’s go! Your life is waiting for you! Fully invested in you, Melanie |
