Skye's the Limit Coaching |
 
Pie Dumas
Certified Coach
Imagine a relationship in which the focus is totally on you, on what matters most to you, and on what will energize you to get what you really want in your personal and professional life. Like having your own personal guide on the journey of life - I'll help you develop and maintain focus, create structure and encourage you to stay on track. That's what having a coach is all about. We will work together - a life coach is your partner, providing the framework for working on your priorities.
|
A life coach will:
- encourage you to be all you can be
- help you focus on your strengths
- guide you through challenges
- discover what may be holding you back
- work with you to create the success you deserve
| Whether you are seeking a healthier, more peaceful way to communicate; skills to let go of limiting beliefs; courage to speak in front of an audience; motivation to develop your artistic craft or support to connect with your inner bliss, I will guide you along an inspiring treasure path to gain greater self-confidence by discovering your strengths and inner talents. I listen fully, suggest alternative perspectives, offer structure, help you develop and maintain focus, and steer you to take action, more easily than you could working on your own. We build a partnership together, based on trust and integrity, which empowers you to identify and master obstacles, gain momentum, then take action to create a truly fulfilling life.
Coaching is a valuable process for:
- Designing life intentions, both personal and professional
- Building integrity and learning to live by your values
- Making meaningful life changes that reduce stress, create balance and simplify your life
- Freeing energy, letting go of the past
I am a certified coach, accredited by and affiliated with Coach Training Alliance and member of International Coach Federation (ICF). As your coach, I will support you through a process to reveal your own inner answers. Challenge you to break old patterns, brainstorm with you to create a dynamic new vision, and encourage you to move forward. Our coaching relationship is always focused on your agenda - ultimately, you know what is best for you. My job is to inspire you toward your desired results.

Life Coaching Tips
- Take time for yourself each day - whether calling a friend for support, fixing a healthy meal, meditating, writing in your journal, walking or simply sitting quietly to reflect. Spend quality time alone to discover the benefits of nurturing yourself. It's a results-oriented, easy technique to love yourself and manage stress more effectively. And, it's FREE.
- Be a blessing to someone else... be kind - surprise an elderly neighbor with a spontaneous visit or call that relative you've been thinking of. Send a FREE e-mail card from Hallmark's collection to a significant other or your best friend. Tell someone how much you appreciate them and value their friendship. Volunteer for a day at your local Salvation Army or go to a homeless shelter and pitch in.
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late ~
Ralph Waldo Emerson
- Become a ruthless detective - be willing to uncover the obstacles that keep you from living the life you want. Then, do whatever it takes to motivate yourself to make changes - ask for help from a trusted friend, family member, co-worker or professional. If you get stuck figuring out how to identify obstacles or generate motivation, ask for direction or guidance.
Buddhist quote: The obstacle is the path
- Believe in yourself! - If you don't, who will?
- Give yourself permission to be playful - explore your inner child's wish list, hang out with children, read a kid's book, take yourself on a fun excursion to an amusement park or kick back and swing at your local playground. Do something fun!
- Keep an open mind and heart - the universe is filled with endless opportunities that are presented to each of us everyday. Expect miracles, you never know what's just around the corner...
- Act as if... a valuable practice of acting as if you already possess the qualities (patience, kindness, willingness, courage or whatever you desire) will help you model the behavior you want, then with regular practice... you will soon own the new attribute.
- Free your heart of resentment - forgive yourself and others. Make a list of those you know you need to forgive and become willing to do so. Write their names on a piece of paper, say a forgiveness prayer or affirmation, and tear the paper in small pieces to signify letting go. Remember to include yourself! Notice how wonderful you feel and watch for magic to show up in your life ~
