Coaching
Coaching is sacred time. Coaching is self-care time. Coaching is inspiring time. Coaching is dreaming time. Coaching is possibility time. In the sacred container of coaching is often where you’ll create amazing changes and exciting transformations!
Coaching will provide you with practical tools and radical ideas to access, claim, embrace, and reconnect with your authentic self! You’ll replace old paradigms, stay focused, follow your inspiration and take inspired action.
Some benefits of coaching include:
Visioning: You’ll devote time to develop a clear picture of your ideal life and work instead of merely plugging away at your routine “to-do” list!
Accountability: You’re more likely to take consistent inspired actions when you’ve got someone to report to on a regular basis.
Access to resources: Need a book? Website? Networking contact? Your coach has access to incredible tools and helpful people.
Unconditional support: Imagine having your own personal cheerleader. Someone who believes in you 100% and makes no judgments about your abilities or capabilities but simply says all the time “I know you can do it!”
Forward movement: If you’re tired of being stuck, then working with a coach is perfect for you if you’re ready to change, ready to shift, ready to rock-n-roll! Your life will never be the same once you’ve embraced the power of coaching and see first-hand the results you can quickly manifest for yourself.
So how does it work?
Coaching can be done either individually (phone or in person) or via teleclass.
Coaching sessions take place on the phone 2-4 times per month depending on which coaching package you choose. During sessions, four things will happen:
1. Ask questions –You’ll report on your homework assignments and Elizabeth will ask you to explore areas where you feel stuck or unsure.
2. Listen deeply – You and Elizabeth will listen carefully to each other in a very intentional dialogue.
3. Access your inner wisdom – You will experience “a-ha” moments at times and Elizabeth will point out your brilliance and your conflicts when you cannot see them for yourself.
4. Commit to action items – You’ll leave each coaching session with a homework list of inspired action items. You will agree to work on these items and Elizabeth will agree to hold you accountable for what you say you are going to do.

When we started coaching, Elizabeth led me through a series of exercises and self-evaluation to decide what type of business to start. Since then we have progressed through creating a business plan, opening the business, initiating marketing systems and planning. Elizabeth has been wonderful at helping us focus and prioritize at each stage in the development of the business. She is a master at networking which is a terrific resource for us. She is organized, objective, and helps clients clearly define their goals. She is enthusiastic, positive and encouraging which are wonderful qualities in a business coach. I consider Elizabeth an integral part of our team and would recommend her to anyone who desires efficiency and profitability in their business.

Looking back on the decision to hire Elizabeth Barbour, I struggle to state the real value in terms that most people would use for benchmarking success. The depths of my development in all areas of my personal and private life have been truly profound. Within three months of working with Elizabeth, I was able to take complete inventory of my strengths and weaknesses, and stand up to my worst fears that were holding me down like an iceberg attached to a small tugboat. I feel that Elizabeth was able to do this by asking penetrating questions about my situation and then having me realize that my responses were not what I really believed and valued, but were the responses I perceived society valued.
Today, less than a year after contacting Elizabeth, I quit my job and started my own business, channeling my energy and passion into my vision and dreams. Coaching has changed my life in such a positive way that I could literally write a tome about it. In my opinion, one of the best decisions you could make would be to pick up the phone and call Elizabeth today!

My coaching with Elizabeth changed the way I saw my relationship with my idea of "work". She asked me exactly the right questions to unlock a door to a long-buried part of myself! I cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough - she has a unique ability to tune into whomever she works with and to help that person find the best in themselves!

If I could impress upon you the one most important benefit from coaching, I would say that it has been an internal reconnection with myself - with my core being. I have discovered my passions, my strengths and how to make them work for me. Through exercises and exchanges with Elizabeth, I have learned what my values and goals are as a person and as a professional. She has helped me unwrap so many possibilities of how to use my talents. I no longer feel like a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. Instead of feeling like there is not a perfect place for me that already exists in the job market, I am blazing my own trail and showing the world what it stands to gain from me!
