Why Get a Coach

Click here

Do you know what excites and inspires you?  Do you know what’s really important to you?  Do you know what you want in your life and work, and if you do, do you have clearly stated plans to get there? Do you know what’s holding you back from making your wants a reality? 

As lifelong learners, these are all questions we must ultimately answer, and a good coach knows how to pursue these powerful lines of inquiry. 

At VBC, we see coaching as a unique partnership between coach and client.  To achieve desired results, that partnership takes many forms, be it coaching, counseling, therapy, teaching, training or consulting.  Whatever the ‘how’, a VBC coach will help you to:

  • Be more focused
  • Be more planned
  • Feel more confident
  • Feel more confident
  • Be more decisive
  • Be more committed
  • Be more disciplined
  • Be more accountable
  • Be happier
  • Do more of what you love

Our job is to give you the resources and tools you need, and provide timely feedback, recognition, clarity and support in achieving desired outcomes.

For many of us, it’s a given that we work hard, but are we always working effectively? What could we gain if we managed our time better? Could we take the time we’ve “found” and invest it in other important things, like relationships, inner peace, serving others, and pursuing interests and passions? In the Time Management track, you’ll learn to identify and prioritize what really matters, across life and work, and apply proven techniques, tools and strategies that ensure your priorities are prioritized.

We live in a society that lauds achievement, status and success. We work ourselves to the bone, ignoring what our bodies and minds are telling us along the way.
