Mentoring & Coaching

"Life is about learning and evolving into the highest expression of ourselves." — Debbie Ford

Coaching provides a level of support that can help invoke your best during particularly daunting transition periods. In times of change and transition it is common to feel lost or disoriented.  Whether voluntary or forced, change requires that we leave some aspect of what is familiar and enter uncharted territory. Individuals seek Mentoring and Coaching for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Transition in career,
  • Relationship changes,
  • Desiring a simpler, less complicated life
  • Wanting to create a more dynamic life

Whether the changes that need to be made are small and focused or generalized and vague, Fran Clarke has the ability to help clients create a life that is lived on purpose and by design rather than by default.   Windows of opportunity present themselves, possibilities become apparent, destinations are reached and life is lived more fully and vibrantly.

As a mentor and qualified life coach, Clarke inspires individuals to create lives aligned with personal values, passions, joys, and goals. She employs an empowering process, facilitated by insightful questioning, supporting clients in gaining self-awareness and clarity. Clients feel successful in overcoming internal or external obstacles and in taking specific identified action steps toward the realization of goals. 

Coaching differs from psychotherapy in that it is action-oriented with easily measurable results. Psychotherapy seeks to resolve issues from the past and focuses more on emotional/psychological aspects. An assessment is done prior to beginning a Coaching relationship to determine which is most appropriate.

Group sessions, due to the sharing of different experiences, commonly offer participants previously unseen insight into their own lives, presenting opportunities that are often right in front of us.Individual Coaching for life transitions and desired changes:
