Outlook Success Life Coaching

Welcome to Outlook Success Life Coaching (TM)! Located in Nashville, Tennessee, you can enjoy coaching services no matter where you are. As a burgeoning service, Life coaching is enjoyed by many who are ready to move forward with their lives or who would like to engage in some self-improvement or self-awareness.

Coaching assists the client in determining personal goals and then ”cheer-leading” them on to completion. During this process, the client is really drawing their own personal road map to their desired destination, which is the outcome they wish to achieve for themselves.

However, busy lives and hectic schedules can get in the way and obstruct our vision of what we would like to accomplish for ourselves. A coach listens to your dialogue and hears not only your outward message, but the “meta-message” as well. Together, you come up with your own path! In a coach, you have someone who lends a helpful ear as well as someone who provides support to help bring out the very best in you and what you have to offer. 

The nice thing about it all is that your personal road map can show any destination you want, whether it be self-exploration, self-awareness, or self-improvement. Outlook Success can assist different people with varied needs in the arenas of business, spiritual growth and awareness, personal improvement, or living a more fulfilled life and feeling no regrets about the choices you either made or didn’t make.

What Outlook Success is NOT:

1. Traditional psychotherapy: Psychotherapy focuses on pathology and problems. This process gets deeply involved in historical issues and how things occurred that possibly led to to your present state. There is a true “doctor/patient” relationship with boundaries and certain protocols for behavior. Coaching works with those with no active pathology and  focuses on the future and where you are going. Though some light historical exploration may be needed to help determine personal outcomes, the aim of coaching is to continually move you forward. Likewise, the relationship between coach and client is viewed as a partnership and roles are more balanced and equal.

2. The Advice-giver or Fix-me Upper!: Even a good psychotherapist is not there to give advice! Likewise, a good coach is not one to give advice or “fix” you , either. Think of the times people have given their two-cents worth or unsolicited advice. Did you ever follow any of it? Didn’t think so! Coaching is a process by which the coach assists the client in determining, themselves, what is their best choice of action. People usually know deep within themselves what they want or need to do. The coach just helps bring that to the surface and outward so that the desires and knowledge are put to purposeful action.

3. Pontificator: A pontificator is one who admonishes and judges you, one who shares their opinions. A coach does not become judgemental and, likewise, share their opinions of your situation. A competent coach let’s the process of your interaction be the next step, and it should be on your terms, so to speak. You set the stage and you are the director. The coach merely assists you in taking action.
