Coaching For Transformation!

Hi folks!!!

I know it’s been a while since you have heard from me.  I’m reaching out to you today with ground beneath my feet and a heart full of hope and faith!

Many of you you have been with me through some of the hardest times of my life recently, including the loss of my sons father, homelessness, and moving WAY too many times while trying to find my home in the world! 

I’d like you all to know that I have finally landed on my feet in an amazing home after some extreme life challenges! 

And through those life challenges I have learned some epic life lessons!

Through these life experiences I have learned about friendship, and breaking points. I’ve learned about love and co-dependacy (and the difference between the two). I’ve learned about integrity, and hopelessness. I’ve learned about addiction, depression, and desperation... I’ve learned about community... and what keeps us from it. I’ve learned about shame and authenticity.
And most importantly, I’ve really learned about what it takes to want to live!

I am writing to you from a point of my journey that feels as if I am climbing to the summit of my life’s Everest. 

I am reaching out to you today to help me with the last stretch of this climb.

But before I make my request let me share a story of what brought me to this moment with you...

A few months back after another challenging event I experienced I found myself in a familiar place. I found myself confronted with a challenge... there were two individuals that I was working with who I knew were in the brink of a break-down or a breakthrough. And for the first time I became clear that I could be what makes the difference! I realized that I knew in my heart that I had what it took to help these people have a breakthrough!!! I believed that effects of this breakthrough could have been exponential, and a cause for significant growth and new opportunities! 

But I knew that there was something I was missing... some kind of structure, or tool, or something that would make this transformation possible!!! But where to get it I did not know... 

So I reached out to a friend for guidance (another useful thing I learned on that wild path I’ve been on). I asked my friend how to address the challenge I was faced with and his response was “That’s above my pay grade.” And in that moment I realized that this was my pay grade! I realized that I AM the person who is willing to do the hard work! I am the person who is willing to have the fierce conversations to help people and organizations have break-throughs and achieve their greatest potentials!

I took on the challenge (having no idea how to actually handle it!) and quickly realized that there was something I was missing to get the job done. I had the heart! I had the will! But I didn’t have the right tools. 

I left that meeting feeling defeated... knowing that it could have been different. Knowing in my heart that I had let them down I felt a deep sense of grief. Because to me, it was not just a job that I had left, I had let down two people that I sincerely cared about. 

You see, for me, everyone matters, everyone counts, and it takes everyone to make up our amazing community. I knew what was possible for these people! But I did not know how to guide them there.

That experience was a great catalyst for me!!! 

Within two weeks I serendipitously found this coaching program!!! The moment I found it I took action, I made the call. I knew that I was finally ready for this work and I was determined to learn the tools it would take to help me do my work in the world!

So...

I am reaching out to you all today to help me gain full access to this coaching program that begins this Sunday! 

The program is called Coaching For Transformation which is put on by an organization called Leadership That Works. 

To raise the required funds funds I need to raise $3, 682 of the $9, 432!!! 
(The additional money is to cover the fees from gofundme [around 3%] which I am happy to support because it makes big asks like this possible for us little people)

The rest has been raised through scholarships, contributions from the coaching community, and $1,000 of my own money!!!!

I have everything else lined up!!! Childcare, transportation, housing and lodging is included in the money I need to raise!)

———

I have chosen this particular coaching program because what they stand for  resonates with what I believe in the world! This is the right program for me. I believe whole heartedly that this program is the key to my success in becoming a Transformational Life Coach!

For the past few months have been working on finding a way into this coaching program. I have been working with an amazing woman from Leadership That Works  who has been working endlessly to help me to find my way into this program! She has been such a remarkable support through my excitement and through some amazing breakthrough moments ~ which is why I am here today reaching out to all of you!

You see, in the midst of the challenges I faced last year I was reminded of who I am for the world, of who I am in every conversation I have, no matter what my circumstances might be. 

I have always known who I am going to be in the future, the powerful woman who makes things happen and creates new possibilities for my community and the world... but the path to get there was never clear to me... until now!

Throughout the past few years many of you have helped me in a myriad of ways. Many of you have ushered me through some of the darkest times of my life, through loss, through homelessness, through hopelessness... with out you and every kind gesture that has come my way, I sincerely don’t know if I would have made it to today. 

Each one of you fostered my delicate sense of hope during a time when I could not do it for myself. Through every story you shared with me, through every bowl of soup, every smile, every hug, every kind word, and every gift, you got me through!

And now I stand before you on this final stretch of this path asking for your help one last time. 

Gaining full access to this coaching program feels like I will be standing at the summit of this epic life experience with a deep knowing of who I am and how I am meant to serve this world and my community!

I humbly ask for your support. 

Please help me raise these funds so that I can do what I am meant to do for the world, and to create a life career that supports and sustains my family!

I am ready to be the woman I am meant to be for the world. The woman who helps others reach for the stars and achieve their greatest lives. I want my work in the world to have an exponential effects! I want to create win-win-win situations, where people, organizations, and their communities are all benefiting! I want to use my dynamic way of understanding the world and the systems we live in to create solutions that work for everyone! 

I’ve had success in this kind of work before when I ran KidsPLAYce. But I remember when I hit the limits of my knowledge and my will to overcome what was in my way.  Ultimately I was not able to take the organization that I loved so dearly any further than I did. I knew that could have done more if I had the right tools, but I did not know where to get them... until now!

With this coaching program I will be able to take on such community projects with a whole set of tools and life wisdom so that I can serve people and organizations to a level of greater success for everyone!!!

I am am so excited to get back to serving my community with my whole heart and a few more knotches of life under my belt ☺️. 

I thank all you all for taking the time to read this. 

Your support means the world to me!

Sincerely yours, 
Elizabeth
