Watershed Moments Coaching
Navigating turbulent life changes
Life comes at you fast. No more so than in recent years. These past years have been filled with high stakes, fast moving decisions and challenges – watershed moments. Recent events combined with personal events have left many reeling under the weight of loss and change. Because grief is a full-body experience, it affects all aspects of our health and wellness. Grief invites us into to re-evaluation and reflection on lifestyle, meaning and purpose. Loss has triggered deep questions and personal exploration.
Steering through watershed moments takes intention, fortitude, endurance, and a ton of energy.
As a Watershed Moment Coach, I companion clients through change with mindful listening, creative encouragement, accountability, and brainstorming support. Together we become co-collaborators as you identify your vision, purpose and intentions for the days, weeks and months ahead. We talk through possible barriers to progress, identify concerns and explore needs and desires. We set accountability markers, identify supports and meet at a pace that suits your needs and budget.
With resources that include education, information, encouragement and support, you will succeed in stepping into the next season of life renewed, organized and inspired. Watershed moments can be difficult. And they can be maneuvered with grace, dignity, integrity and courage. Watershed moments are places of change and forward momentum.
Speaking and Listening In
I have a long relationship with public speaking. I’ve spoken as a historical interpreter in a living history museum, zoo educator in two different zoos, and in all kinds of educational settings. I’ve been the primary speaker at funeral services where I’ve had the privilege of telling a life story. Most recently, I’ve spoken in churches and organizations about bereavement, grief, and loss.
Rock and a Hard Place
I was recently praying about a difficult decision someone I love is facing. There are two obvious choices at hand. Both choices are beautiful, rich, and exciting. In this moment, even such rich choices feel difficult because they involve change, risk, something new, possible loss, and challenges. As a result, it is hard to know which direction to go. In fact, it is agonizing, uncertain, and uncomfortable being in this position.
Changes at Any Stage of Life
It turns out, aging comes with all kinds of change. From sagging skin to wrinkles, to eyesight, and mobility changes, to health diagnosis large and small – all happening and needing attention. Many of the changes carry loss within them.
