We often don't take action because we think we should have it all figured out before we make that first step. Regardless of where you are on your journey though, there is always one step you can take--a step that would actually bring you closer to discovering how to get all you really want.

Why Empowerment Life Coaching? Empowerment is the foundation to creating the life you want, and when you are empowered, anything is possible! If you are at a point on your journey where you're ready to discover all that you can be, do and have, call Donna at 408.947.1508 to set up your Empowerment Life Coaching introduction.

Fee: $25 Call 408-947-1508 or e-mail donna@foryourjourney.com to set up a time and date and for directions to the downtown San Jose meeting location. If you’ve been sensing an inner feeling that there must be more in this life for you, but haven’t been able to identify what to do about it, I would like to offer you this special low-cost personal introduction… In a one-on-one introduction to my empowerment essentials based coaching, I will share why inspiration is so important on your journey to living an empowered life. I will explain what inspiration is (for you), why it is so valuable to continually seek it, as well as how to identify the feeling of being inspired so that you always know your way back when you feel off track. Additionally, I will share what being empowered means to discovering and creating the life you want—why empowerment is victimless and how being empowered promotes the attitude that anything is possible!

1-Seeking inspiration: Do you actively seek inspiration? In this workshop, we learn how seeking inspiration can change your life. We discuss the impact to your quality of life when inspiration is present, and how it can help in making your best life decisions.
2-Self-esteem: In this workshop, we will discuss the impacts that low self-esteem has on your life, how to begin identifying blocked areas for raising your self-esteem, and then ultimately how to move forward in creating possibilities with more confidence.
3-Facing changes: Most fear the unknown, and since change often creates uncertainty, people are naturally fearful of change. In this workshop, we face change by learning to focus on the opportunities rather than fearing outcomes. We discuss the benefit of embracing change versus the stressful task of always trying to keep things the same.
4-Self-discovering: Instead of comparing ourselves to others or trying to be who others expects us to be, embracing who we really are is important to knowing how to bring happiness to one’s life. In order to know more about who we want to be, however, we must discover who we truly are right now. In this workshop, we take initial steps to help in discovering what we know about ourselves then offer an opportunity to learn more about who we truly want to be.
5-Possibilities unlimited: When possibilities are limited, one is a victim of circumstances. When the decision is made not to be a victim of circumstances, anything is actually possible! In this workshop, we discuss how our belief of limitations actually creates the limitations in our lives.
6-Setting intention: A major step in creating the life you want is to make mindful intentions. We’ll discuss the power of your thoughts and your words, and how to make them work in a way that attracts what you really want.
7-Attracting the right people: Understanding how we attract situations to our lives, we are able to then imagine how every single person in our lives is also attracted to us, even subconsciously. In this workshop, we begin to explore some of the types of people we attract and then discuss how we can actively work to attract the right people for our circumstances.
8-Creating for fun: You are the designer of your life. Whether you create a stressful life, or one that is filled with fun and creativity, it is really your choice. In this workshop, we discuss what things you can do to create your best life, as well as to help you discover how your personal creativity can be expressed.
9-Taking action: You already posses the ability to take action in your life. In this workshop, we work to re-discover that which is already within you so that you are able to take action in areas of your life where you may be stuck.
10-Managing obstacles: Obstacles can be counted on during any transformative process. This workshop reviews the best ways to work with your obstacles so you can get to the valuable lessons rather than becoming discouraged as you move toward your goals.
11-Living a journey of joy: Your journey should be nothing less than joyful. Even when there are circumstances that are not as you believe you would have them, you can learn to enjoy the life you have, even to turn it into the life you love.
12-Becoming empowered: Empowerment is the final step in learning to take on your life in the most powerful way. When you become empowered, there is nothing you cannot do, nothing you cannot have! This is where you want to live. Once you’ve taken the journey through the preceding Empowerment Essentials, we will wrap up and send you on your way with the knowledge that you can do anything!

Fees:
Weekly one hour sessions are $70. A discounted rate of $240 ($60 x 4) is available if a minimum of four sessions are paid in advance.
