Dr.
Chuck Laird and his wife Jeanette have been |
How much have you invested in education over the years to get a job? How much self-improvement have you put in IN ADDITION to be able to "get ahead" in your work? To be GOOD at your work? Now … how much have you invested in education and training to be good at marriage or parenting? Yet most people, when asked, would say their marriage or family is more important to them than their job.
It is the WISE person who recognizes the tremendous value of personal and relational development - particularly in today's business climate where people are increasingly hired and promoted more on the basis of personality and people skills than job skills. You hear it a lot these days: "We can teach skills; we can't teach attitude." Yes, the skills we teach and the coaching we offer will help you perform better on the job. In fact, you almost certainly will be trained to make more money. But our focus is on helping you create a happier life for yourself, your marriage and/or family and every person you have the potential to impact. It's not easy, of course. Change isn't easy. Relationships are not easy. And while we really do have fun in coaching, the work you face doesn't come easily. Nothing good every does. But it's really not as hard as you think. Anything is hard -- and very frustrating -- when you don't have the equipment or training to do the job! But with some help, encouragement, and a little practice, it's amazing (not to mention liberating!) how great it feels to FINALLY start enjoying a little success!
Here, for instance, is one very simple model we help our clients incorporate into their strategies for creating a happier life and successful relationships:
We have used this model in our own marriage and for helping people create successful relationships -- both personal and professional -- for over 17 years. We have worked with hundreds of clients from all over the United States and Canada. And while we have seen successful relationships without these three dynamics, we have NEVER seen a relationship fail where these three interdependent dynamics were firmly established.
The point is creating a happier life and enjoying more success in your relationships at the office, in your organization, with your spouse and/or your children -- even highly strained relationships -- is not as hopeless as you have be led to believe. The toughest obstacle? That's an easy one: Ourselves. The real challenge is conquering yourself and emerging strong and attractive to make a positive difference in EVERY relationship - at home, work, among friends, organizations, community and world. That is what you are investing in. It's the wisest investment you'll ever make. Because the potential profitablility of EVERY OTHER investment flows directly from THIS one.
I have to tell you, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing
someone you've worked with reap the happy benefits of their hard
work (and ours): Isn't this what you want? Isn't this what you've sensed -- you've KNOWN -- deep inside is the way life is meant to be lived? Listen to your soul. Life is short. Every day you're building your legacy for your children and all whose lives you touch -- for better or worse. Don't go another day. Look, Jeanette and I are pretty down-to-earth people. We're safe, sensitive (oh, particularly Jeanette! People tell me, "Chuck, we like you... but we LOVE Jeanette!" I don't blame them! She is just pure love) and you have to know you matter to us. We both were raised to love and value people and there's a world full of folks who are hurting, frustrated, lonely, feeling helpless, and NEEDLESSLY missing out on what life can be and what THEY can be! |
Engaged
to life, making a difference! 
Centered and balanced;|
We know and have seen the difference our coaching can make. It would make my day -- REALLY! -- to hear from you. Even if you decide not to sign up -- just the chance to have possibly touched a life or planted some small seed of hope or encouragement or vision would be a gift for both of us. I know, I know. It's starting to sound really interesting because this guy seems to have me pegged. No, but I hope you might be starting to realize you aren't alone, we understand, and it really is one of those things that later you look back on and say to yourself, "Who'd have thought? What a difference one decision can make in a lifetime." Give it a shot -- there's absolutely nothing to lose. It's a free call (toll free 1-866-329-3334) and a free initial consultation (fancy term for us talking, me sharing a little bit about what we do and how it works, you sharing as much or little as you feel like sharing, both of us seeing if this is right and, if so, getting started on one the best decisions you'll ever make in your life). |

There are a variety of options and levels of coaching relationships. However, the most common features for our clients include a weekly phone session, e-mail (so-called "cyber-coaching"), subscription to our free monthly e-newsletter, and our exclusive, web-based Personal Manager for individuals, marriages, and families. Coaching Session You call me at our scheduled time. I let you determine the agenda. We talk from wherever you are in the moment. You might be coming off an exciting breakthrough you can't wait to share or you might be discouraged from what feels like a setback. My job is to discern the moment and respond appropriate to our goals, understandings, and development of mutual trust. No two people are exactly the same. EVERY coaching relationship is unique. One person might respond best to gentleness and patience while the next prefers a loving kick in the rear. Thus, the nature of each session reflects who you are, where you are in the moment, the vision/goals we have agreed upon, and the degree of chemistry nurtured in the coaching relationship. Within this context I work each session to forward progress toward your intended goals. Here, then, is a list of items that typically guide the direction of our session:
Length of Coaching Relationship The length of our coaching relationship is up to you. They are as varied as the people and situations we work with. Twelve months is probably as typical as I could say. We have people we have worked with for years (the wise ones know you never stop investing in themselves, their marriages and/or families); others are more simple, single issue relationships that only last a few months. |

Here are our coaching service options (per month):
|
|
The first step is to contact me either by phone or email. Or you may also use my CONTACT FORM (below). If after your FREE initial consultation we are both in agreement to begin a coaching relationship, I will forward you a contract to review and approve. We will also tentatively schedule our first three months sessions. Your next step is to select a coaching option. ONLINE CREDIT CARD PAYMENT AVAILABLE!!! You may book your coaching date/time online! ALL major credit cards accepted! CLICK HERE to pay for your payment online (secure server). Or you may pay by check. Once payment is received, you will complete a Starting Point questionaire to help establish the present situation and clarify what you hope to accomplish through our relationship. We will then determine the appropriate time frame to plan on for fulfilling what we hope to accomplish (the more complex and/or varied the goals the longer we should anticipate working together).
The call is FREE. There's nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain! Life is too short with too many possibilities for great things. Let us help you engage life with new vision, purpose, confidence, and results. Live the life you want to live, the life you were given to live. Sincerely, Dr. Chuck & Jeanette Laird |
