Do you Want to Sail into a Meaningful Life, but feel Stuck in the Doldrums?

Do you find yourself at the point in life where you have raised your family, built your career, and still haven’t lived your passion? You haven’t found the meaning in your life or made the impact on the world with your gifts that you have dreamed of for so long?

Maybe you are stuck in a rut, lack a sense of purpose, are not sure what you want to do, or how to go about doing it. You have lost faith that who you truly are and what you have to offer has a place in the world.

You are surrounded by people who depend on you to stay the same—the same non-threatening spouse, friend, co-worker and parent—but your heart aches for something more.

I hear you. Suddenly very conscious that life is short, now feels like the time to make changes before it is too late—before you lose the physical capability or the mental clarity to do so. But it’s frightening—life has become very comfortable and it is complicated to change it; the unknown is well…unknown and foreboding.

“When I started this coaching program, I was nervous, not knowing Diane, but open minded as to what could happen.
I liked how she asked simple questions that triggered sudden insight.
I enjoyed this process very much and always left with a wonderful feeling of accomplishment.” 
Rebeca Duboshinksy, Framingham, MA

Sailing towards Synergy

Have you ever had the pleasure of sailing on a sailboat? It is an exhilarating experience to raise the sails, catch the wind and glide across the wavy blue water, sometimes like sliding across a sheet of smooth glass and sometimes like riding a wild coaster. The breathtaking thrill is unlike any other–as long as…there is a competent captain at the wheel with a first mate for support.

It is the captain that sets the course and is ultimately responsible for the boat. However, when the captain is at the helm, it is not possible to physically see all that is going on in front of the boat. That is where the first mate comes in.

The first mate is critical in keeping watch for hazards and storms and being a second set of eyes to navigate tight channels. There is a sense of synergy between the captain and the first mate, where each strengthens and enriches the other.

Once when my family sailed in the British Virgin Islands, our fifty foot boat was attempting to anchor in very shallow water in order for us to snorkel in a magnificent coral reef. Without the captain carefully steering the course and the first mate at the front of the vessel, visually guiding us in, the boat would have grounded in the sandy bottom.

This would have turned our vacation adventure into a frustrating and time wasting call for help in order to be towed out at great expense. We would not have had the opportunity to snorkel the reef and discover the treasure trove of conch shells! We didn’t know those shells were there until we successfully risked the shallows and ventured in. What a surprising treat!

“I enjoyed many different aspects of the coaching program. My favorite piece was working on my life purpose which I felt was very beneficial. I was surprised to find that the process was less using my mind and intellect to discover things about myself; it turns out I found all real work is created from the heart. I appreciate Diane’s keen insight and patience in this process. There were times I felt stuck and she knew when I should take a deep breath and get in touch with my heart’s wisdom. I learned to trust my inner wisdom by following my heart. I feel more confident about what my talents are and how I could apply them to my life’s work.”
Dave Silverman, Healer, Brewster, NY  

Help is on the Way

Like sailing a boat, working with a coach is like working with the synergy of a captain and a first mate. The one-on-one experience of coaching gives you an extra set of eyes, objective ones, supporting you in setting your own course and being conscious of the obstacles in the way in order to navigate around them.

A coach makes sure your vessel is strong and helps you chart your course of action aligned with your dreams. A coach supports you in creating an exhilarating life, full of passion, meaning and the thrill of making a difference in the lives of others. With a coach, you will find the courage to go places you have never been before!

“I have been through years of therapy with little positive results. I made more progress in the year or so of coaching than in all those lost years of counseling. Although I have trust issues, I was able to completely trust Diane. I could talk freely about anything. It was a safe place to work through problems and I was finally able to experience relief for the first time in my adult life. This program was so effective, I brought my two daughters and son, who Diane helped tremendously.” 
Paul Miller, Sales Representative

My Experience as a Client

To become a certified life coach, I was required to be a coached in order to understand the experience my clients would be going through. It was an amazing experience to have someone objectively look at my life in a way I just couldn’t by myself.

My well intentioned friends and family had their own ideas about who I am and what I should be doing, peppered with their own fears and limitations. And I too had my own fears and self imposed limitations. My coach was able to see clearly the ways I stop myself from living my dreams.

As an example, I met a composer who I wanted to collaborate with. I was so nervous that he would think I wasn’t good enough, that I was afraid to call him. I told my coach “If this musician doesn’t call be back by the springtime, I will call him again.” My coach responded “What’s so magical about waiting until the springtime?” “I guess nothing” was my response.

After practicing the conversation I would have with him, and clearing my fears, I mustered the courage to call the next day. The musician said “Yes, I would love to write music with you.” Five years later, confidence in my musical abilities has grown, and I have a collection of inspiring, original songs that we have performed to great reception.

From this experience, my coach and I looked at other areas of my life where I was holding back from taking action. With her support, I was able to:

• complete the coach training in record time
• learn how to run a business
• step out in the world and speak to varied audiences on living a purposeful life
• write a book & articles currently published in Poughkeepsie Journal’s Living & Being Mag, Putnam Times, Pawling Press
• produce  the ongoing “Diane Ingram Show” on cable television in NYC, Westchester, Putnam County  and You Tube
• motivate myself through inspiration rather than listening to my inner dictator
• shift from valuing the completion of my “to do” list as a measure of quality of life, to bringing in well-being qualities that I want to be experiencing every day

—All things I would never have gotten to in this lifetime on my own.

How to Get There

• Take ownership of your skills and talents, recognize and appreciate them and your ability to make the specific impact you want to make in the world.
• Unveil the hidden jewel of your life purpose and discover how to express it powerfully to build a life of meaning and fulfillment.
• Chart your course with a plan on how to fulfill your vision.
• Reveal the fears that keep you hugging the shore and launch your gifts, making a difference in the lives of others.
• Find how to create the social network that supports you with courage, faith and inspiration to see your way through towards your destination.

Why Now?

I know this is a big step. The tendency is to recognize you need help in moving forward, and to see how coaching could help you do that, but to put off beginning, saying “It costs too much” or “I can do it on my own.” It is often fear of beginning something new, not knowing how the changes will impact you life, that holds us back from taking action.

I can assure you that you are in complete control of this process and you determine the pace at which you move through it. Often fear, once you identify the source, goes from being a formidable wave, to one that changes into a ripple of smooth, new reality you glide into.

If you imagine yourself six months from now, having made the changes that bring meaning and fulfillment to your life in a way that has so far proved illusive to you, doesn’t it make sense to begin now?

Just think of where you could be this time next year! Clients typically regret having waited so long to take action, and to ask for help in making their dreams happen. They feel self love, honor and respect for finally doing so.

“When I first started the coaching program, I didn’t know what to expect and was very nervous. I thought it would be like therapy, focusing on negative things. Every session was positive and taught me about myself. I felt Diane really heard me and would take as long as I needed to learn how to love myself, stay with my feelings and drop being judgmental of myself. Diane is a wonderful, warm, caring person and
I think everyone should have the experience of this coaching program. “
Donna Power, Physical Therapist

More of What Clients Are Saying…

I was amazed at the difference between my ideas and goals at the start and what I ended up with. The result was much deeper and broader than what I had envisioned. I started with one specific goal, and what resulted is in many ways transformational. Although my goals were achieved along the way, they turned out to be just a small part of what we accomplished. — Lew Insler, Disability Lawyer

This experience was one of the best things I ever did for myself. It presented an opportunity to assess my life and create changes that have made all the difference. After just three coaching sessions with Diane I got what I spent years in therapy trying to work through—incredible. Life coaching with Diane has value for everyone, no matter where you are in your life. — Paula B. Ward, Guidance Counselor

As a single parent I found myself stuck in an unfulfilling and dead end job that didn’t allow me enough money to support my family. With Diane’s support I was able to overcome the roadblocks to going back to college as an older student. She helped me focus on my goals and break them down into less fearful and more manageable steps. Two years later I have the career of my dreams and have increased my salary by $20,000. It was a major transition that I could not have done on my own. — Denise Dreany, Knowledge & Information Management Coordinator, NYS Governor’s Office of Employee Relations

The program awakened my awareness that when I connect with people, I discover their values and purpose in my life. It’s allowed me to create deeper relationships with family and friends. — Pam Chiera

Through the coaching program I learned what it means to live on purpose. So often we go through life just living. . .is it living? I think it is so important to live life intentionally and through the program I developed some of the tools needed to do that. But most importantly, I learned what that means. — Donna Pagliaro

I can happily say that I now live a balanced life that includes all the things I want to be doing—eating healthy, exercising, time with friends, working a creative job I love and having fun! Diane’s coaching program helped me see how it was all possible—to live the life of my dreams! — Christine Sotmary, founder of Caregiver Access

I really enjoyed figuring out what was important to me. I loved working with Diane. It was great to have someone to talk to that would really listen without judgement. The program forced me to think about different areas of my life. My biggest result was that I realized that I was in a good place…almost like I needed verification of that. I also came to appreciate that everything is a process, from my goals to be more realistic when it comes, to how long it may take to achieve them. I can’t believe it’s been 5 years. I am looking forward to revisiting my notes. — Trish Arnold, Saleswoman, Pawling, NY

My life has taken a 360 degree turn for the better since I began working with Diane—I was “stuck” in unhappy and unproductive relationships both in my career and my personal relationships—Since meeting Diane, I have resigned from a counterproductive & possibly destructive position for my career advancement—started on my own in my business (something I would not have had the guts to do without Diane’s coaching) & I am using more honesty to build & grow personal relationships. I am grateful for the expertise Diane brings to her sessions—she is a true professional. With Diane’s assistance, I have become an independent & successful self supporting business owner—Also, my personal relationships have turned around for the better—I have learned to use honesty & have found my self worth—I was a people pleaser & found myself unhappy and angry with my family and life partner— as a result, I have found the peace and balance we all search for & many of us never find—I am a new person! — Patrice Borghese, Financial Advisor

I really looked forward to each and every coaching session and found that the 2 hours (which I initially thought would be too long) flew by before I knew it. The best part of the sessions was the gift of presence, the open and deep listening which Diane shared each time. I valued the non-judgemental attitude, the humor, the sense that all things are possible which Diane radiated. And sometimes it is the smallest thing that can unlock resistance, fear, and doubt. For me, it was fixing the bathroom caulking which she suggested. From this, came the belief and motivation that I could work the transformation in my home,my work, my relationships and myself. I was also surprised that I had already created positive changes in the areas of money, health and friendships. Utilizing the idea of practicing qualities and and creating my own wise sayings was also helpful. The gratitude journal helps me “keep it real”. Working with Diane, I experienced the rare gift of her being totally present: to me, to the moment, to infinite possibilities. She has the ability to not only help access the deep wishes of the heart and mind but to inspire the will to achieve them. — Joan B., Energy Healer
