Business, Creative, Personal & Life Coaching For Gifted Adults
 
  Professional · Confidential · Affordable
 
Overall, I have concluded that there are large numbers of frustrated gifted adults, who can be located by anyone who knows what to look for, who do not find outlets for their potential.  We are not paying enough attention to trying to teach gifted people how to cope with their lives in the adult world.

Gifted adults need coaches and mentors who understand what giftedness is, what gifted people need, the challenges they face and the solutions that work to help them realize their potential and to live fulfilling lives.
 
Step forward and do the things you're being nudged to do from within. If you wait for things to break you will be too late.  Change before you must.
There are no secrets to success.  It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

I've coached gifted, talented and creative adults for more than ten years, promoting personal and professional success and well being through self-understanding, self exploration and skill building. 
Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.                                   Jim Rohn
Coaching sessions provide each client with useful information, skills, strategies, solutions and resources that are specifically tailored to individual needs, situations and circumstances.
 
The direction and goals of each coaching program are determined together with each gifted adult during their initial coaching session.

My Approach to Coaching Gifted Adults:
Coaching for Smart, Talented & Creative People

Smart, talented and creative people seek out a business, personal, life or creative coach to help them figure out where they are, where they want to be and how to get there--as well as how to transform and find solutions to feelings of alienation, isolation, being unrecognized and unappreciated. 
 We are what we believe we are.                                    Benjamin Cardozo
Gifted adults have many skills and abilities they can use to support themselves emotionally and to make their lives more satisfying--but they need help and guidance in applying and using their resources to the difficult and stressful situations they face at home and at work.  
The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own.                                                   Benjamin Disraeli
Encouraging, supporting and guiding gifted and multi-capable adults to understand themselves and their abilities and to have the success and happiness they deserve is the focus of my gifted and creative coaching practice. 
Art is not just art, it's a life, lived by an individualist with a personality, verve, and a deep respect for human relationships.                                                        
                                                          Robert Genn
When gifted adults first come to see me for coaching they often feel frustrated, stuck or down.   It's usually because they feel they aren't getting what they want, feel they deserve, or they have  have run into a situation they don't want to go through alone and have decided to take a risk on working with me.
At the heart of gardening there is a belief in the miraculous.                        Mirabel Osler

Collaborating with smart, talented and creative people to help them recognize and make the most of their unique talents, interests and creative genius--and acquire the tools, information, understanding, confidence and experience they need to achieve their goals, have a meaningful and productive life and to realize their personal vision--is what my business, personal and creative coaching with multi-talented adults is all about. 
A writer arrived at the monastery to write a book about the Master.
"People say you are a genius. Are you"? he asked.
"You might say so", said the Master, none too modestly.
"And what makes one a genius"?
"The ability to recognize".
"Recognize what"?
"The butterfly in a caterpillar; the eagle in an egg; the saint in a selfish human being". 

Through my specialized coaching process, gifted and creative adults learn to understand themselves and their needs as well as how to identify, meet and exceed their personal, professional, relational and creative goals.  They also learn how to get recognized, earn more money and make the most of their unique creative genius.
 
As a result clients make rapid progress and enjoy having their own private coach,who can understand and relate to their high standards, goals and unique view--and who can keep up with them and provide guidance, support, and direction.

This is the success formula I use.
 
Providing customized coaching solutions to gifted and creative individuals, teams and businesses, my coaching helps gifted, talented and creative adults maximize their opportunities, leverage their talents, and make the most of their knowledge, experience and connections.

Money is energy; it is not a goal in itself. Use this energy to create a joyful life and a healthy productive society.  Focus your money on what you value most.

Enhancing Personal Expression

Even if you have doubts about the extent of your giftedness, you will really bring your talents to life if you will embrace your drive to become, serve, create, achieve, and contribute. The purpose of self-recognition is not to fuel egotism or elitism, but to align with a more powerful, creative part of you that will let your heart, your knowledge, your talent loose on the world.....More

Issues in Counseling Gifted and Talented Clients in Addiction Therapy
Barbara Carter 
 
There is a misconception among most of society that gifted and talented persons don’t need any special attention from counselors. The assumption can be that gifted and talented persons just have more of “a good thing” and really don’t (shouldn’t?) need much help.  As addiction therapists, we need always to consider the special needs of our clients. In an effort to move away from “cookie cutter” treatment plans and interventions, we are always searching for ways to individualize our treatment approaches. GNTs – those who have special intellectual, artistic and other abilities – often are viewed as not needing extra help. However, this is far from true...More
