I’ve been remiss to write lately. Lots going on, but something inside of me today says, “It’s time.”

The trigger has been in the last couple of days, I have received numerous (unexpected) positive feedback about how powerful coaching has been for my clients. Humbling, yes. I am so mindful to acknowledge the success of coaching always stems from the work of the client. It truly is a testament to why I love what I do.

So with that, I reach back to my own past, back in the 2000, when I began my coach training. It was through my program, where I met Ellen from the UK. Ellen was my very first coach and soon to be mentor. She is a woman who opened my world to a whole new dimension of “being”. Ellen lives and breathes gratitude, service and a generosity like no one else I have ever met. She is pure inspiration for me.

In 2005, our family traveled to Europe. One requirement of the trip abroad was I meet my dear Ellen. Today, as I peruse our photos of that lovely visit, I am filled with so much love and gratitude for this beautiful human being. What I know and believe is that there was a reason our paths were meant to cross in this life time. Ellen will ALWAYS be a part of who I have become.

With that, I share with clients that my hope is their own positive, sometimes even profound personal discoveries are “descendants” of my own personal discoveries I gained from Ellen, which have allowed me to be the coach I am today.

May every person be so blessed to find their “Ellen” in life.
