 Life Coaching
Life Coaching is delivered during weekly telephone sessions (over a period of four or more weeks). You set the agenda, and decide what issue to focus on. Using a proven process of effective questioning, your coach guides you to find the answers. Coaches don’t give advice – they know their clients have the answers within them.
Angela’s niche
Coaching professional women - to inspire them to “Maintain the Balance and Retain the Fun!”
About Angela
Angela believes that the combination of laughter and efficient business systems (both at home and at work), helps us “maintain the balance and retain the fun”, as we manage our daily lives. Her business name, Lift Off Coaching, reflects this view, and was inspired by her LCA research report, “The Life Lift-Off Spiral”.
Also, during the course of writing her Research Report (2003), Angela coined the phrase “LIFE-ter Coaching (Laughter + Coaching)”. It is her unique brand of life coaching. LIFE-ter coaching reflects Angela’s personal vision – “helping you Laugh, Imagine, Focus, Experiment”. Angela recognizes that by incorporating these four elements - Laughter, Imagination, Focus, Experimentation - into our daily lives, we have a far better chance of getting what we want out of our lives and businesses. Why? Because… When you Laugh … you see things from a different angle, When you Imagine … you really do find all sorts of possibilities in your life, When you Focus on what you want – you get it! (If you focus on what you don’t want, you get that too!), When you Experiment (i.e., Take Action) you get RESULTS!” Angela says of coaching, “I have such fun coaching my clients – there is a lot of laughter along the way, and I gain enormous satisfaction from seeing clients “lifting off” and achieving what they really want in their lives. The coaching process is extremely effective … it’s amazing, in fact! To reap the benefits of life coaching and LIFE-ter coaching, all you need is a desire to take full ownership of your life, and the commitment to do what it takes. You know you can do it, and so do I!” Angela’s Background
Born in Perth, Angela moved to Melbourne after graduating from The University of Western Australia. She has lived in Melbourne ever since. Having run her own architectural information consultancy for ten years, she has experience in small business as well as the corporate world, where she spent nine years in a variety of roles, including facilitating workshops, managing a client satisfaction feedback programme for six shared service business units, and having plenty of fun coordinating extra-curricular Christmas music events. Angela's passions are family, literature and language, art and architecture, playing piano, speaking French and Italian, learning the cello, and life coaching, in which she can use all her skills and talents. She is married and has two children. Angela came to coaching following a “long service leave break”, during which she worked through Richard Bolle’s career manual, “What color is your parachute?”. She realised that what she most wanted to do was inspire people to create the life they want. A week after this discovery (having never heard of life coaching!), The Life Coaching Academy’s newspaper advertisement launched her on her coaching career. Angela established her life coaching practice in 2002.
Client Testimonials
Margie Chellew, Victoria, Australia:
“I found you warm and easy to talk to. I’d wondered how speaking about my concerns over the phone to a stranger would be, but it was like you were in the room.” Name withheld at client’s request: “I found the way you worked extremely good for me. I was ‘stuck’, and since our sessions, I’ve completely turned my life around – I feel ‘free’, despite quite limiting circumstances … I found you thoughtful, considerate, supportive and provoking! Thanks so much, Angela.” Frances Brewer, Western Australia: “Angela was direct and assertive in guiding me to definite answers and decisions. She helped me search within myself for all the answers. She helped me visualise the outcome now. I felt motivated to get on and do what I said I’d do. … Even over the phone I knew that Angela was there for me, really listening and asking the right questions. ... I feel like I have launched myself, thanks to Angela. She had the push I needed to get me started on my dream. I highly recommend her as a positive, assertive, wise woman with a great sense of humour!” Name withheld at client’s request: “Life coaching with Angela has given me the opportunity to review my organizational skills, feel more confident with planning & therefore a way forward. One main benefit has been realizing how valuable it is to spend time writing down my thoughts, turning them into strategies & eventually formulating goals. I was able to work through a couple of ‘daily life issues’ with Life Coaching assistance with positive results & am a convert to the writing & thinking process!” Name withheld at client’s request: “Thank you for your time the other week. … I found your recommendations and attachments helpful and interesting. It has made me think some more and I am considering my options – forcing myself to make a decision this week…. (2 weeks later) … I feel better now that I made the decision to leave (former workplace), and I think I have you to thank, for making me realize that leaving may be an option.” Name withheld at client’s request: “I can tell you that there has been some dramatic improvement as a result of our session last week.” Name withheld at client’s request: “Hi Angela, Thank you very much for all the information you have given me this morning and for the questionnaire you attached to your email. Besides that, talking to you and reading your answers, really inspires and motivates me!” Feedback from Presentations Delivered
TOPIC: “A Balanced Life”
TO: Rotary District 9800 Training Day for incoming Presidents and partners. Interesting presentation, and concise points which make for a well-balanced life … I think the point about positive outlook is the most critical of all. Without this, life can be very draining. I like the idea of a “power nap” during the day – good idea, but not when driving a car! – Richard Lawrence, General Manager, RKW Petroserve Pty Ltd.
Angela, An excellent and powerful presentation. Thank you … You are doing good and important and highly significant work. Keep it up. – Michael Donnelly, CEO, Distinctive Options.
Everyone should learn B.A.L.A.N.C.E. It’s what we all need. – David Hyde, Business Consultant, ROCG.
Good presentation – easily followed. Entertaining. Not too long. Analogies easily recognizable. Learning to say No as a positive response – very valuable. – Darryl Shields
Fantastic resource for any busy life – particularly well pitched to Rotary. – Pike Peters, Incoming President, Rotary Club of Prahran
It was a good stocktake to look at myself and the members of my Club. I will use your exercise at a luncheon to enable the members to gain balance and also to become a stronger ‘united’ group. – Therese McKenny-Campbell, Outlets Co-Op Neighbourhood House Ltd
TOPIC: Spring “Renewal” Workshop for Women Lots of fun! Enjoyable. Skilled presenter – Jenny Robinson, Clinical nurse educator
TOPIC: “Life Coaching and Effective Goals”Great workshop. Very well organized and inspirational – Annie Ryall, Travel consultant TO: Rotary Clubs of Sunshine, Altona City, and Point Gellibrand Good, practical, lively workshop.
TOPIC: “Getting more LIFE in your life”Speaker gave a clear outline of the topic – was entertaining and commanded attention. Great stuff. Thank you. I needed that. A well presented workshop. Provided a set of guidelines to assist in achievement. Refreshing. Different. A good worthwhile listen A job well done and a bit of fun. The following feedback was also received, a week after the Point Gellibrand presentation: One of my Rotary colleagues spoke with me today. He was so inspired by what you had to say that he couldn’t sleep that night. He is now formulating his goals and looking forward to achieving them. You were the kick start to him changing his life. Thank you. – Jen White, Programme Director TO: Rotary Clubs of Canterbury, Hoppers Crossing, Flemington, Brimbank Central and Carlton
Stuff that makes a lot of sense. Enlightening. Reminds one that one doesn’t have to put up with the various obstacles that can hold us back.
TOPIC: “Life Coaching”I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you very much for your outstanding seminar/workshop. All reports have been very favourable with members saying that they gained a great deal from your talk. Well done! Excellent presentation. Well spoken. All members very attentive Angela, Thanks for your inspiring talk. Life is good and should be lived and appreciated. A gift that is sometimes taken for granted. We make or set goals to enjoy life. Thanks again. Very interesting and helpful. TO: Hayball Leonard Stent Architects That was a very good presentation you gave last Friday, Angela. You are clearly very passionate about life coaching, and about the importance of focusing on what we want, rather than on what we don’t want. Your session was informative and entertaining, and above all, had great impact! Many thanks. - Richard Leonard, Director
