Help is of ALL Kinds

Over my years of coaching, I have interacted with people from all walks of life. If you look at my website and company, GenZ&U, you may get the impression that I only work with Gen Z, parents, or teens. This is far from the truth.

As a life coach, I have dedicated my time and energy to anyone who wants to work on self-improvement or growth. I know both from research, and from personal experience, that life coaching has a significant impact on people’s goal attainment, their metacognition (which is thinking about your own thinking), and their overall health. I HAVE A COACH MYSELF!!

There is no “stereotype” that I coach - I see anyone who wants to see me regardless of why they want my help. Though my title is life coach, I see myself more as an enthusiastic guide. I help people understand that their power comes from within.

I have spoken in university settings to students and educators about burnout, academic success, and believing in yourself. I have run group meetings, where we focus on uplifting each other and holding individuals accountable, finding empowerment in group connection. I’ve worked with parents and teens, both individually and together, on how to improve their relationships and communication styles. Heck, I even do 1 on 1 work, where I work with any individual who feels they would benefit from my coaching style and life expertise.

I think that people often believe that life coaches are people who kiss up to others and tell them how wonderful they are. Or they think it’s a scam, and that there’s no science behind it. I can promise you, my coaching is both research backed, and far from kissing up. I work with people to find their inner power - my goal isn’t to tell people what they should think but to show them that they’ve known what to think, do, and believe all along. They just needed a little help to sort through their brains and a bit of accountability that encouraged them to keep doing it.

It would be impossible to limit my work to one setting; that’s the beauty of life coaching! It’s not just about one person’s life. It’s about all of ours as a collective, and how the health and success of each individual works with that of the collective. It’s why I don’t just do 1-1 work. I fully believe that to coach, I need to work with systems as a whole, rather than singular parts of it.

If you take anything away from this newsletter let it be this: help is for all kinds. Coaching is for all kinds. There is no one aspect to coaching, nor one type who receives it.

Let this inspire you to think about coaching - even if you’ve never thought you needed it or wanted to try it, open your mind to the idea of having another person in your corner. If you’re curious to dig deeper, try a free consultation with me. I can assure you you won’t regret it.
