Greetings from beautiful Cleveland, Ohio! My name is Tracy, and I am a certified life coach who believes in empowering my clients to recognize and seek the best version of themselves and the life they want to live. Cleveland has seen its ups and downs but is currently reinventing itself as a world-class city complete with fine dining, winning sports teams, and so much more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love seeing a good reawakening, and this city reflects my coaching business perfectly. The good news is you do not have to be from Cleveland to work with a life coach from Cleveland! With the increased demand for online meeting space, I can meet with clients worldwide via Zoom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no place like home, so wherever you are, you can have a life coach from Cleveland in your corner! But what is a life coach exactly, and how can one help you achieve your goals?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does a life coach really do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I feel Tony Robbins, one of the most well-known names in the self-help world, defines life coaching perfectly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The life coach definition is someone professionally trained to help you maximize your full potential and reach your desired results. They are like a supportive friend and a trusted adviser rolled into one. They’re someone who will push you to identify your goals, hold you accountable and provide encouragement throughout your journey to become a better version of yourself.” <\/em><\/p>

-Tony Robbins from his website TonyRobbins.com<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I have used some of Tony’s approaches in my coaching sessions and even reviewed one of his books on my podcast. You can listen to that episode here<\/a> and learn more about my self-help book review podcast here<\/a>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Tony points out, life coaches get training on how to help their clients best achieve results. And not just any results, we’re talking about those goals you might not dare to dream because they might be too silly, childish, outrageous, crazy, unimaginable\u2026you get the idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Life coaches learn to ask the right questions and get you to those innermost desires so that we can make them happen! We develop your personal mission statement and identify your core values and make sure all your aspirations are aligned with those accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As your life coach, I will help guide you back to your inner voice to discover your passions (rather than any random ones you have picked up along the way that no longer serve you). When times get challenging, confusing, or busy, I hold your beliefs safe and remind you of them and your goals. This helps you stay focused, instead of distracted, by others’ opinions on how you should be living your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m also here to help you give yourself permission to go after what you want. We work together to develop the confidence and courage to go after your dreams!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is a life coach different from a therapist?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A life coach is more like a creative partner who guides you back to yourself, and then helps you move forward towards the goals you wish to achieve. A therapist can be an excellent addition to your plan, particularly if you suffer from depression or any other condition that makes it hard to access your passions, energy, creativity, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A therapist can help you identify and reduce the symptoms of a mental illness, and this can look very different from person to person. As a coach with a psychology background and an extensive career in community mental health, my experience has taught me to value counseling, and encourage my clients to pursue this service when needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coaching is never intended to be a replacement for counseling, psychiatric interventions, or treatment for mental illness or substance abuse. I am not a therapist, so our work will not include clinical treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, coaching can complement the work you do in therapy to help you live your best life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What problems do life coaches solve?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you work with me as your life coach, YOU will be doing the hard work on your problems. I will be by your side the whole time, providing tools and support to identify the issues and the solutions that best fit your goals. I will also help you develop your own skills to achieve your dreams. Coaching is for anyone who wants a life change, including a change in career, lifestyle, habits, and more. For instance, through my years of working as a life coach, my clients have successfully:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
