PROJECT COACHING

What Project Do You Have In Mind?

  • Move to a smaller home?

  • Plan a meaningful celebration of life or other gathering?

  • Record family members talking about their lives?

  • Self-publish a book?

  • Complete a personal project?

Projects are an expression of who you are, what you want, and what is meaningful to you. Many of us feel simultaneously excited and daunted by our own project ideas. When we are not able to bring them into the world, it can be incredibly frustrating and demoralizing!

Sometimes, getting going is just a matter of gathering information, managing logistics, or getting organized. Other times, there are blocks to action, which stem from entanglements in your psyche (fears, self-critical thoughts, etc...) or even learning or physical challenges.

As your Project Coach, I’ll support you as you navigate your path inward and forward.

For Older Adults - and their Adult Children

Do you - or does your parent - need help with a project or an upcoming small move? I work in collaboration with clients - and families, when possible - to provide guidance, resources, and hands-on help. Settling into a new home, unraveling an administrative problem, finding the right resource/support people, tackling the piles in the closet/basement/garage, or even planning a celebration of life - all of this can be so overwhelming! Less so with me as your coach.

Another service I love to offer involves interviewing and audio recording older adults sharing life stories. Capturing the particular personality and voice of a loved one is a really unique way to preserve personal, professional, and family history.
