COACHING LIFE'S SEASONS
Pro-tirement
Dr. Carl Jung professed that the latter half of life should be: “a pursuit of meaning and purpose and a consciousness of the legacy one is leaving to future generations.” (Jung 1953 The Collected works of C.G. Jung) F. Hudson coined the term “pro-tirement” which means “doing your life’s work by living a full and fulfilling life.” This also means “being available to mentor, coach, teach, create and inspire younger generations.” (Williams and Davis, Therapist as Life Coach, p. 170)
Vocational/Job Transition
Having retired from 45 years of successful pastoral leadership (24 years at my last assignment), and being a Board Certified Pastoral Counselor, I understand the stressors of life’s seasonal changes. I am available to coach those going through vocational and life changes and to assist in discovering successful options to continue life fulfillment through new endeavors.

Pre-Marriage Coaching
Having worked in the area of premarital counseling with hundreds of couples over the years, I have observed some key areas of exploration for acheiving greater satisfaction in all aspect of marriage. In preparing couples for marriage, traditional counseling is not always the best approach. Helping couples evaluate areas of compatability in values and preference identification through coaching, opens wide the doors of understanding, discipline and planning for their future.
