ABOUT CTA CERTIFICATION:
Certification in Life Coaching ensures monitored study and coaching skills in groups
and individually in accordance with Coach Training Alliance -
A Coaching Facility accredited by the International Coaching Federation.
AS A CTA CERTIFIED LIFE COACH: I Have Been Taught And Tested On:

* How to be available and present during your session,

� To adhere to an accepted format for helping to draw out the client�s own
wisdom and truth.

* Recognizing tone and flow of the information exchanged.

* Skilled listening and questioning to get to the heart of issues that help you
reach YOUR stated agenda.

* The dance of verbal brainstorming,

* To Determine in Initial Interview and throughout the coaching process when a
client is coach-able, and when they are not.

* The understanding that the purpose of coaching is to reach your desired goals
as stated in your agenda at the beginning of each session, in a timely fashion--

* To recognize that in an instant gratification society, human processes of change
require gentle encouragement, guidance and diligence over time.

* To make it clear to the client that they alone are responsible for the decisions
and choices they come to as a result of the coaching process.

(This is one of the places where I do that as well as ask you to SPEAK UP.)

* To ask the Client Couple to speak up. If at any time you are not comfortable
with the coaching partnership, please tell me immediately so we can correct the
situation and move forward.

* Confidentiality is a watchword in Coaching.

* That YOU, the client couple and your common vision, are always at the heart of
the coaching process.

ALSO, The Certified Life Coach Is Encouraged Strongly To:

* Bring one�s own resources, perspectives and unique personality to the coaching
process,
* And to Bring these resources within a framework that is recognized as
beneficial with respect for you,and your beliefs.

AS A REGISTERED NURSE:
* I bring more than twenty five years of experience and study and professionalism
as a Registered Nurse, that experience and wisdom has given me powerful insights
to challenges and benefits of relationship building and the health benefits of
resolution of dissension.
* There is an ease and comfort level in discussing sexual concerns of the body
and of the mind and spirit and I strive to give accurate information.
* Confidentiality is a watchword in being an RN.
* PLEASE NOTE : I am NOT acting in a medical professional capacity within the
scope of my coaching practice and YOU are responsible for safeguarding your
health in all aspects of life. See also Disclaimer.

AS A �PAGAN FRIENDLY� REVEREND:

� I am a Reverend in order to officiate at marriages, baptisms and funerals. The
whole "pagan friendly" name that I was given is in reference to the fact that I
do not judge people and am accepting of their beliefs to the extent that people
of pagan persuasion are comfortable with me.

� You can discuss matters of a spiritual nature with me in comfort, pro or con
with regard to religion; just know I am have been on a spiritual path for those
who want that, and that I am a Reverend recognized by the State of NJ.

� I ask that you believe in some power that is a benevolent higher authority than
you. Even atheists have faith that there is no God; and recognize the universe is
kind enough to provide oxygen for all of us free of charge which qualifies the
universe among many other things as benevolent. Please know that with free will,
you work in conjunction with this higher power. This will give us some basis with
which to work.

� I respect your beliefs in any case.

� Confidentiality is a watchword I am familiar with both as an RN and as a
Reverend and Life Coach, with the exception of those things that are illegal.

� It doesn�t matter what type of kink you are into, just so long as it is legal, you
can feel comfortable discussing it with me, IF it is part of your agenda in your
relations as regards coaching.

� FAIR WARNING: If what you happen to be into is illegal, best not to hire me
for coaching if it involves damaging/hurting others or engaging in sexual behaviors
without the other�s consent, or before the age of consent. It is illegal for me to
be aware of such behavior and not to report it to the proper authorities. I am
not here to judge you, and I don�t judge you, I am legally obligated to report
such findings. I don�t want my license pulled, and in fairness to those being
damaged or hurt, please examine for yourself inside yourself for what drives you
to do those things,& get true help with that perhaps from a qualified therapist
or doctor. That is beyond the scope of Life Coaching.
