Knowledge is not power!

Sir Francis Bacon stated that “Knowledge is power". But I refute that ~ Knowledge is not power". Knowledge is maddening, deafening, defeating, fleeting, easily obtained, easily bought, easily sold, not always accurate and it is definitely is NOT power...Wisdom is power!

Seeking assistance from a Life Coach is like finally stopping to ask directions when you’re lost. Often times we are frustrated, hurting, and fearful but we stay that way because we don’t know where to turn. We may know where we need to head or what the dream is but we might not know how to get there. Life Coaching helps you see the plan, read the map and helps you get you there!

As a Christian Life Coach, I am here to Coach you and not coax you. I will not bribe you, dangle a carrot in front of you, get mad at you, yell at you or push you. I will help you to better discern what God is showing you to do and how to do it. I will help you sharpen your own discernment and tune in to God. I will support you, encourage you and help train you to move forward and higher into the position God calls you to. He will show you where to stand and position you in His timing but you have to allow Him to and you have to listen to Him. So often we are weary and overcome by the world. But He has overcome the world and He has placed gifts within His people to help do this. Some of my giftings are being an Encourager, an Intercessor, a Trainer, a Biblical Counselor, a Coach and a Mentor. I am here to help YOU to move forward on the path God has called you, with joy and hope and to understand that how you live, what you think, say, do and feel makes a difference in the Kingdom of God. Welcome to living a life of purpose through Inspired Coaching.

So....What’s the difference between Life Coaching and Therapy?

Life Coaching begins with an evaluation of your current life conditions and then takes you through a process to assist you in setting goals, formulating plans to achieve your goals and encourages you to take steps forward towards success. These goals can be personal, professional, spiritual or relational. Improving your outlook, inspiring you and assisting you on your path towards wisdom and spiritual growth are also a part of Christian Life Coaching.

Therapy is a bit different in that it helps to promote insight by going through past issues and assesses your mental health status along with your emotional capabilities. Therapy can be important for healing emotional pain and for resolving past issues that impinge upon life satisfaction and functionality but it is not necessary for all individuals. Therapy is also the type of treatment prescribed for disorders like depression, addiction and anxiety. LifeCoachInspired does not offer this type of therapy and if such therapy is deemed necessary by the Life Coach after assessment or Coaching has begun then such services will be referred and Life Coaching will be discontinued until such mental health services have been secured by the Client.

Although in my Coaching role I may incorporate certain skills and techniques from my experience as a Christian Biblical Counselor and as an Ordained Minister, it is only used to augment the Coaching process rather than to treat psychological issues. Coaching is not psychotherapy, nor a substitute for professional counseling or psychiatric services.
