Client Coaching Objective: Develop a vision and retirement plan to include having an income and figure out how to proceed, on my terms

Client's Situation: Working as a teacher in a secondary school for 15 years, our client has the option of staying on for another year of teaching. Our client enjoys the teacher student mentoring opportunities. The workplace context however, is changing and less friendly with increased pressure and less autonomy.

There are some chronic health issues and the need to consider options is pressing as our client's spouse will be retiring so changes in relationship dynamics is imminent.

Coaching Objectives: To support the client through a "whole-life" coaching journey of exploration and discovery using A.C.T., the Kaizen life coaching model.

Coaching was provided in 1 - 1.5 hour a in-person weekly coaching conversations over a period of 4 months with assignment and fieldwork scheduled between sessions.

Results: Our client, having gained an understanding and appreciation of who she is, what she likes and what matters to her is empowered to be herself, set and maintain boundaries and live more freely.

Equipped with a clear understanding of her options and their impact, our client chose to return to teaching for another year while putting things in place to retire, when she is ready, on her terms.

Client Feedback: Julia, it has been such an interesting and rewarding time, and I deeply appreciate your attention and support. I feel as though I can move more from a sense of who I am rather than always putting myself aside.

It is rare to have an opportunity to just talk about oneself without any form of judgment - so I talk about things that usually stay silent. That means you set up a special and fortunate and confident space. I appreciate your attentive listening and interpreting. Thank you! May 2010
