Through the power of life coaching, lives are changed for the better for our clients. As a life coach Minneapolis MN, Julie’s goal is to help her clients thrive, not just survive. How? By helping her clients solve a problem they did not even know they had. See, the client is the expert in their own life. As a life coach Minneapolis MN, Julie just comes alongside her clients to help them connect the dots. And when those dots get connected, great things happen!

At the end of a recent session, one of Julie’s clients shared that they had just experienced a “tattoo session”. When Julie inquired what exactly that meant, her client explained that they had recently learned about “tattoo sessions” as a session that is so life changing the client wants to get the date tattooed on their body. Now that is a powerful and impactful session!

Julie. as a life coach Minneapolis MN, has worked with many satisfied clients but no other client has said they have a tattoo session. However, it is often very obvious when a client has a life altering AH HA moment. What makes an AH HA moment? The willingness of the client to do the work of exploration into whatever issue they want to address.

See, in life coaching the client is the expert. The life coach Minneapolis MN just helps guide the client where they want to go.

Julie recently had a client that was looking to start a whole new career and their very own business. They were really stepping out in faith for this new endeavor. Each week they explored what would need to take place for the business to be a success and who the ideal customer would be, along with where to find them. Julie’s client started their marketing efforts and waited for the inquiries (and customers) to come in.

And the inquiries did start to come in! But, week after week, Julie’s client found an excuse to not respond to these potential new customers. It quickly became apparent that the issue wasn’t how to drum up business. The issue was something deeper inside Julie’s client. Possibly a limiting belief or a wrong assumption.

Julie asked the client if she could make an observation. The client agreed. Julie asked the client if they would be willing to explore what that deeper issue was as to why the client would not make those calls. The client said yes and so they began a journey of exploration, because, in life coaching, the client is the expert. The client, sometimes, needs to be willing to look at hard things.

During the very next life coaching session, when Julie asked the client what they would like to discuss, they said “why I will not pick up the phone and call these potential new customers back.” Through a series of powerful questions, Julie and the client were able to dig into the client’s fear that if they actually spoke to someone, that person on the other end of the phone would know Julie’s client was a fraud, a “newbie”, someone without enough experience to actually earn that person’s business. Through the process of asking powerful questions, the client started to dig into that fear. They started examining their past professional experiences. Had they talked to potential new customers in past positions? Yes, all the time. Did they always have the right answer? Were they always the most seasoned and experienced salesperson available? No. Did that matter? Not really. The more calls they made, the more experience they got.

The first “dot” the client connected was that they were looking at this new position through the lens of a kid, fresh out of college with no experience. How inaccurate was that? Very. The client had years of experience and they genuinely enjoyed speaking with customers. Julie helped the client see that they were experienced at speaking to customers, problem solving and providing great customer service.

The second “dot” that the client connected was that they were not confident in their 30 second elevator speech, so instead of fumbling over their words, they avoided making the calls. The client realized they could tell themselves they had a great product until they started picking up the phone and people began to say NO.

As a life coach Minneapolis MN, Julie helped her client craft their 30 second elevator pitch to where they were fully confident in what they were selling.The client quickly overcame the mindset of “not being or knowing enough.” There was an immediate shift in the client’s demeanor. They looked lighter, they had a smile on their face and they were confident. Because this client was willing to look at some deeply long held limiting beliefs and values, they were able to overcome and thrive, not just survive!

Most of Julie’s clients deal with wrong assumptions, limited beliefs, negative self talk and imposter syndrome. As a life coach Minneapolis MN, Julie loves seeing her clients connect the dots in order to thrive, not just survive!
