Welcome ...to Laurel's Life Coach Home! Let Laurel's compassion and active listening help you move toward the life you dream of.
WIKIPEDIA explains Active listening as an intent to "listen for meaning". Active listening requires the listener to understand, interpret, and evaluate what he or she heard. The ability to listen actively can improve personal relationships through reducing conflicts, strengthening cooperation and fostering understanding. When interacting, people often are not listening attentively to one another. They may be distracted, thinking about other things, or thinking about what they are going to say next (the latter case is particularly true in conflict situations or disagreements). Active listening is a structured way of listening and responding to others. It focuses attention on the speaker. Suspending one’s own frame of reference and suspending judgment are important in order to fully attend to the speaker.
Laurel has studied co-active coaching and has a natural ability to listen actively and respond actively. Her active responses can lead you to contemplate the changes you may desire. She seeks to empower you with self-knowledge, encourage your self-respect and uses your self-control to 'control'/drive your own life path. What path are you choosing? What are you inviting into your life ? What are you attracting? Through active exploration and setting S.M.A.R.T. goals, you will find the answers that lie within - as Laurel guides you through the process. Laurel lives with her husband and her Border Collie and Golden Retriever therapy dog. Read more about her experience and education through the "About Us" link at the top of the page. |
