"After having worked with several counselors for many years, I heard about coaching and decided to research this option. I interviewed several coaches before hiring Deanna Austin. My goal was to find someone to work with me to find my life purpose. What I found instead was a life plan for living each day to the fullest; finding things that would bring me joy and energy as I face life's challenges. The first session brought me far beyond years of counseling - teaching me how to look at things in a different way. I learned in only a few sessions how to help myself turn negative and draining situations into positive and energetic options.

We all face daily choices. How we perceive our options can be limiting. Deanna is helping me open my eyes and mind to new options I have not thought about. We are working in this area to bring about a more positive, peaceful existence in the midst of difficult situations.

One of my biggest insights I've had is that I don't need a plan for next month or next year. Rather I want to go to bed each night feeling good about the day I just had. Tomorrow will take care of tomorrow.

I really look forward to my phone conversations with Deanna. I always hang up feeling good about me and what I am going to accomplish in my short-term goals. After each session I have a plan in mind of what I am going to do and what I want to accomplish. This is great!" - R.M.
