Access more ease and effectiveness
This page describes Introvert Energy's two services: life coaching and the monthly online newsletter, The
Introvert Energizer.
Life coaching
Life coaching – sometimes called "personal/professional coaching" – is a particular kind of
conversation that creates an environment for making changes. It's not counseling or mentoring
or consulting or therapy. For more clarification of what coaching isn't, and to see the official
International Coach Federation definition of what coaching is, please go to What Co-Active
Coaching Isn't.
With the explosion of coaching around the world, many different philosophies and methods
have emerged. To get a sense of "co-active coaching", in which I'm trained and certified,
please go to Some Key Ideas About Co-Active Coaching.
Introvert Energy coaching includes four main components:
- Identifying what you want from coaching
(From concrete results to vision of whole lifestyle)
- Personal tools to maximize strengths and dissolve barriers
For example:
- Core values
- Satisfaction assessment
- Working with intuition
- Life habits (to use body, mind, heart, soul well)
- Self-observation
- Action strategies/resources (action in manageable steps)
- A climate of accountability, inspiration and focus.
The initial coaching session is 2 hours and in person if possible. With long distance
clients, the initial session is usually done in 2 one-hour segments by phone. After the
first session, coaching is typically by phone. Sessions may be 30 minutes, 45 minutes
or an hour. Frequency may be weekly, bi-weekly, three times a month, monthly, or some
other pattern, at the discretion of the client.

What's it like to work with Introvert Energy?
Here are some of my basic assumptions:
People are fundamentally smart, open, and loving. This "brilliant sanity" comes
from underneath your personality and your social conditioning. Life works
beautifully when you operate from your wise inner self.
"When I did my first session with Nancy I told
her it was my year of body wisdom and she just took that and ran with it!
It's been quite an experience."
Life Coach |
Coaching creates answers and results but they don't come from the coach; they come
from the partnership of the client and the coach. It's a personally-customized
process. Life coaching is both concrete and non-linear. It's like being in an art
studio – and the art you're making is your whole life.
Great breakthroughs in our lives generally happen as a result of innumerable small
steps and achievements. Coaching provides a consistent environment for new possibilities
until they become real. It's hard to maintain momentum alone. The coaching "recipe"
of focus, inspiration and accountability makes things happen.
Becoming a "conscious introvert" is a transformative process. Understanding your
introvert body and playing to your strengths in this extroverted world gives you
natural access to more ease, more effectiveness: life at its best no matter what
the challenges – truly!
The Introvert Energizer online newsletter
The Introvert Energizer is designed to make introverts a cool subject!
Millions of people have taken the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which
includes good information about introverts and extroverts. Even so,
- We don't talk much about it,
- The negative stereotypes about introverts continue, and
- Most people don't have the new information about the hardwiring of introverts and extroverts. (For
example, do you know whose predominant brain pathway is short and whose is long – and what
difference it makes? Or why it's harder for introverts to move our bodies? Read "Thriving
As An Introvert in the 21st Century" for the answers – available below.)
The Introvert Energizer, a free service of Introvert Energy, is dedicated to the cultivating of conscious introverts.
The world is longing for more introvert energy!
