What Is Coaching?
As a coach, I work with my clients to help them have more balance and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives. In the process of coaching, clients have a safe space to explore who they are and what they want most in their lives. They deepen their awareness about their values, goals, and vision for their future. They also receive support to help them act on that learning and bring what they want into their lives.
People come to coaching for many different reasons. Some wish to improve their performance in their work, some wish to have better relationships, and some are in the midst of a transition in their lives and want to have support in making a change. Some people come to coaching because the hectic pace of our fragmented world has left them feeling as if they’ve lost sight of who they are and what they want from life. Whether clients come to coaching with a specific need or a general wish for more meaning and fulfillment in their lives, coaching can help them turn their desire into reality.

As your coach I hold that you are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. It is my job to help you create the life you want. Using listening skills, powerful questions, and a variety of coaching tools and exercises, I help to facilitate your self-discovery process. I support you in this process and provide encouragement and accountability as you move towards fulfilling your goals. You can count on me to be honest with you, to be infinitely curious about you, to challenge you, to deepen your learning, to help you see new possibilities, and to encourage you throughout this exciting process.

How Do I Get Started?
Give me a call (612-284-1863) or send me an email (contact[at]lauraharley.com), and we can set up a time for your free sample session with me. I work with clients all over the world via phone, so distance is not a factor.
The sample session is important to helping both of us learn if my coaching will be beneficial to you and meet your needs. Your hour-long sample session will include the following:
- I’ll share more with you about my approach to coaching and answer any questions you may have
- I’ll learn more about what is bringing you into coaching
- I’ll coach you around a topic of your choice (and I can help you choose one if you aren't sure where to begin)
- We’ll talk about how coaching can help you meet your goals and needs, and you can decide if you'd like to hire me as your coach
It’s as simple as that! The session is complimentary, confidential, and completely free of any obligation. It is just you, me, and time to help you with what is most important to you. I look forward to hearing from you!
