What Does A Life Coach Do?
Life coaches--as distinguished from sports coaches--support clients to envision, plan, and live the life of their dreams. Put in more practical terms, I help my clients (primarily entrepreneurs and small-business owners):

• clarify what they want in their life;
• solve problems more quickly
• learn from their experiences more deeply;
• see progress or success that they might have not noticed;
• break huge projects into manageable steps;
• stick to their goals by providing whatever structure and accountability works best for them.

So if you've got a project you just can't seem to finish, or your list of things you want to do is too long, or you have a sense that your life is a bit off track from where you'd like it to be going, explore on. Perhaps I can help get you where you'd rather be.

Ardea is the Latin name for the heron, a bird with which I have come to have some connection. In one of my coach training courses, we did several visualizations and similar exercises. The heron kept showing up. I had always been fond of herons and often looked for them when passing watery areas where they might fish. Finally, I read the qualities of people whose spirit totem is a heron, and they matched my personality and habits very well.

When it came time to pick a name for my business, I started looking at variations on the heron--Blue Heron Coaching, and so forth. There were already a lot of companies with "heron" in their name, though. So I looked up the Latin name. Ardea sounded nice and wasn't used much by other companies. And so it came to pass that my business was named Ardea Coaching.
