Personal Support

Meet my coaches!

I don't know if this applies to you, but it used to be that when I got really depressed or upset for whatever reason, I would hide away. I would turn inward with only my negative thoughts for company, and no surprise, this just made matters worse. What's more, it seriously prolonged the time I would be stuck in the muck and miserable.

Now I know that there are times when life gets too much and that those are times when it's wise to reach out for support. For everyday bumps, I can reach out to friends. For those bigger challenges, I now reach out to a coach - someone with skills, intuition, heart and wisdom to help me get clear about what's happening and shift perspectives so I can find freedom once more.

Sometimes, it only takes one session. Sometimes more. But seeking support has always worked for me - beautifully!

How do you find a great coach? It's pretty scary trying to pick a name out of a phone book or online directory. So I thought I'd lend you a hand.

I have been personally coached by these two lovely women so without any hesitation, I can highly recommend them to you. And thanks to the blessings of Skype and great long distance phone rates, it doesn't matter where you live.

Carol Greenaway

Carol Greenaway once heard that the only constant in life is change and, ever curious, decided to check it out for herself. After years of trying out many new things she concluded that although change happens when we dare to step out of our comfort zone, it's much easier to manage with someone in your corner. So, now she spends a lot of time standing in corners with good-hearted people who've decided to move out of their ruts instead of merely redecorating them.

Carol brings a unique blend of skills and experience to coaching. She began her professional life in the public service where she learned that bureaucracy, although necessary for a functioning society, wasn't the place for a free spirit. She challenged the notion that you shouldn't go into business with a friend by doing just that. They had fun for several years until they sold it quite profitably and now have dinner together whenever possible. Carol loved working for causes in the not for profit sector, but one day remembered that she liked working for herself most of all. She knew that she could serve many groups instead of just one at a time and Greenaway Consulting Services was born.

Carol embraced the concept of life long learning by attending the University of Alberta three different times. She finally graduated thirty years after she started because life will interrupt course work when you least expect it and there are so many different ways to learn! Her keen interest in change and human potential prompted her to read self-help books voraciously, attend seminars and workshops at every available opportunity, train to become a Certified Erickson Solution Focused Coach, and establish Nudge Coaching.

If you are grappling with change -- big or small, chosen or imposed and would like to:

• Remember who you are and what you want
• Renew your energy and zest for life
• Figure out how to spend your time and money on the people and things that matter most to you
• Have a life that's based on your values and has real meaning for you

Kristin van Tilburg

Kristin van Tilburg's mission is to teach others to become co-creators with life through the transforming power of heart-centered living. Heart-centered living is a life oriented around your deepest dreams and desires. It means giving up the struggle to survive to focus on thriving. It means putting head-centered strategizing and analyzing and to-do lists in service to your life of purpose and passion. It means living into fulfillment rather than living away from fear.

Your dreams are the distilled essence of your purpose in life. These deep passionate desires are the guidepost for how you are to use your co-creative abilities. False beliefs contract and compress the co-creative potential of your true nature and manifest as a life lived in frustration and discontent. As you learn to eliminate these false beliefs you re-discover your potential to co-create with the limitless possibilities of life, and you are able to realize your dreams one next step at a time.

Kristin's heart-centered explorations enable you to integrate your co-creative potential with financial success. She partners with you to step into the vision for your future that is indicated by your deepest dreams and desires. Together, you will formulate a direct plan of action. You will create success on your own terms and with ease. You will unleash your passion for your work and for your life. You will connect with the genius of your authentic self and become unstoppable!
