About Leslie

My Catalytic Coaching

Catalyst n. a person or thing that precipitates a change.

Catalysis n. the acceleration of a chemical or biochemical reaction by a catalyst.

Catalytic adj. Of, involving, or acting as a catalyst.

My Catalytic Coaching acts as the prompting agent in speeding up transformation to what you declare you want to BE, DO and HAVE. Sometimes, one needs to first slow down and take a look at oneself in order to prepare the way!

A true coach teaches you (by example) how to be your own coach:

  • how to learn how to witness yourself
  • how to call yourself on your own @#%@#
  • how to cheer yourself on when the going gets tough
  • how to give yourself a “kick in the pants” when you need it
  • how to stretch beyond fear!

A true coach does not want to be your guru, but wants you to become your own guru.

A true coach acts as a catalyst for intentional creation.
My Catalytic Coaching will assist you to:

  • get out of your own way
  • stay true to your commitments
  • get you out of your comfort zone

Outside your current comfort zone is where new possibilities are created. They cannot happen within your comfort zone, or they would have been made manifest already!

Some coaches advocate ignoring your problems or issues. Just like “skeletons in the closet,” problems/issues do not walk away on their own. It takes facing them head on to roust them out for good! Because we are all human, we all will face challenges. It is through being honest with ourselves and overcoming them that we grow. Why is it that so few people take time to do this in their lives? I suppose they would rather repeat the same patterns of misery over and over, than just “do the work” that will lead to a more magnificent self and a more abundant life. Very scary!

No Cookie-Cutter Coaching!

These days, too many coaches these days have “cookie-cutter” websites with “cookie-cutter” solutions. As a breath of fresh air, my coaching is as unique as you are, and the path it takes is different every time.

When you say you “really want” something, and are committed to do “whatever it takes” to get it, I commit to hold you to your word as if your life depends on it — and, in effect, it does. This may include guiding you through your own resistance or calling you on your excuses. Think about it. If your resistance did not exist, you would already have what you want!

A benchmark of emotional management and responsibility
is the realization that our past can no longer be blamed
for our actions in the present.
