Balance Wheel Test

Could you benefit from coaching? Take this quick test to find out! Within each of the following eight areas, chose the number that best represents your level of satisfaction in that area of your life ("7" = Completely satisfied; "1" = Completely dissatisfied):

 

Now, imagine the numbers you chose connecting to form a wheel. The rounder the wheel, the more balanced your life. Imagine how your car would travel if the wheels were in this shape! Are you content with the balance? If not, we can help. We work with individuals who desire growth, success, and balance in their lives. Print this page if you would like to do this test on paper.

Total

If your total score is over "32" or any one score is over "3" you may be inhibited from achieving your maximum level of success.

We specialize in working with your core issues in a way that brings out your strengths and helps you to perform at your best. Using a positive approach, we focus on target performance and strategic actions to produce change that leaves people feeling capable and good about themselves.

Is personal coaching confidential?

When we work directly with you our services are 100% confidential. This allows you to share with your coach at a level you may find difficult to reach with others. This level of confidentiality also allows us to maintain our objectivity.

How do I find the right personal coach?

Coaching is based on a trusting and respectful relationship. Therefore, it is important to work with a personal coach who is not only credentialed and experienced, but someone you can connect with.

We offer a 30 minute complimentary coaching session to help you determine if you and your coach are a good fit. We do not use this session to "sell" you on coaching. We use this time to help you experience what personal coaching is and how it can benefit you. We trust your judgment in knowing if the match is right.

You can pick from our main group of coaches by reading their bios and directly requesting an appointment or by contacting us and we will try to match you with the best coach.

How often do we meet for personal coaching?

The frequency of coaching sessions is determined by you and your personal coach, but many of our clients find it helpful to meet at least two to four times a month for 30 minutes to one hour at a time. This meeting can be done either over the phone or in person.

How do I get started?

We offer a trial coaching session at no cost or obligation. For more information and to schedule an initial "no-pressure" meeting contact us.
