What G.U.E.S.T. Star Coaching is NOT:

A consultant. A consultant is often a specialist in a particular area hired to give recommendations, solve a particular problem, or address a specific issue. Coaching is holistic as each client examines the situation, creates a plan with their life coach, and then works side by side to resolve or enhance the challenge.

A therapist, counselor, or psychologist.  Therapeutic intervention tends to focus on feelings and experiences of past events, featuring their work in moving toward a different functioning level. Life coaching is oriented toward goal setting, moving a presently emotionally healthy person forward.

A mentor. Fun fact: the term mentor originates from Homer’s Odyssey. The character, Mentor, bestows his knowledge, wisdom, and counsel on Telemachus, Odysseus’s son. Telemachus, Mentor’s student, is older and more experienced, therefore, he looks up to him, seeking advice and guidance. A life coach supports and draws upon the wisdom of the client, guiding them as they extract inner resources.

  • EMERGENCY GROCERY LIST

    Sleet. Snow. Ice. The perfect storm for East Tennessee to panic and dash to the grocery. I sometimes wonder if chicken, dairy, and grain farmers have an alliance with weather reporters. Case in point. Last week, meteorologists predicted snow by day and freezing rain by night. With our curvy hilly terrain, ice can shut us…

  • UNSEEN AWARENESS

    I walked in the predawn darkness and heard the morning commute noises on the highway in the distance. The drivers weren’t aware of me, and I couldn’t see them, but I knew they were present. We were travelers, but unaware of each other. Coming and going. Present, but not always visible. An unseen awareness. Our…

    I was recently hired to be part of the opening team for a never-seen-before vision. This organization’s launch is enormous, and most people have been extremely appreciative of the sweat equity. Like anything new, not everyone is receptive or complimentary. New staff. New leaders. New procedures. New concept. New everything. One teammate described this adventure…

  • ALLOW. ANTICIPATE. ACCEPT.

    My 2024 word of the year was ALLOW. I invited myself to consider an “and approach” rather than default to “or.” Dark and light. Cold and hot. Him and her. Wins and losses. One day as I was driving, I reflected on ways to incorporate allowance.  I thought about how vehicles provide convenience, shuttle services,…
