Life Coach for Personal Growth and Success

I have spent years trying to figure out what my purpose in life was.  I always wanted to help people grow, but never knew exactly what that meant.  I worked as a professional counsellor for years, and always strived to help people move toward emotional wholeness and wellbeing.  While I found this rewarding in many ways, it still didn’t capture my sense of purpose.  I can honestly say I felt frustrated and unfulfilled.  I knew there was more to life than what I was experiencing. 

I felt stuck in living an average and ordinary life.  I hated average!  I always felt like I was living below my true potential.  I knew successful people did things differently, and thought differently, than most people.  Somehow it was possible to CREATE a successful life.  I just didn’t know how.  

One day I attended a conference on the difference between counselling and coaching.  This was the moment I had been waiting for.  Life coaching was my breakthrough.  Everything about it resonated with me.  I knew in my heart I had found my true calling.   I soaked up everything I learned.  I have continued to take Life Coach Training to learn even more.  It has truly changed my life. 

As I established my business, I realized there was so much I needed to learn yet, to be my personal best and succeed as a coach.  I felt like I was floundering in trying to figure this all out on my own.  I needed to find mentors and other coaches to help me grow my business, and show me the steps I needed to take to succeed.  This greatly shortened my learning curve and allowed me to see quicker results, in less time, than I could have done it on my own. 

 Through this journey, I developed a passion for personal growth and development.  I began to make choices, and changes in my life, and implement new habits, and set goals to get me moving forward.  I am so grateful for the people who have helped me along the way.  I am now able to be who I am, doing what I love!

As a result, I have dedicated my life to helping others find who they are when they are at THEIR best, and teach them how to move from ordinary to extraordinary.  You can overcome the obstacles that get in your way, and discover what you need to do to succeed in your life.  I want you to have your best life, doing what you love. 

I would be honored to be part of your personal journey to success.  

I reside in Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada with my husband and two children, and our toy poodle Bailly.

To your success,

Doreen
