Ignite your Spark

Collaborative Coach & Transformational Leader

As a passionate advocate for personal growth and transformation, I support parents, educators, and youth in unlocking their highest potential. My mission is to help individuals ignite their spark and break free from the patterns that hold them back. With a background in education and a deep understanding of leadership, I utilize modalities such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to facilitate profound change at a deep level.

Whether through workshops, one-on-one facilitation, or community programs, I’m dedicated to providing the tools and guidance needed for self-actualization and empowerment. Together, we can embark on a journey of transformation that leads to greater fulfillment and success.

LET’S GET STARTED

Overcome limiting beliefs and achieve your goals using methods that are science-backed.

Clarify your goals, reframe thinking, and focus on what is important to YOU.

Identify your WHY and live with purpose and joy

Are you feeling stuck? Perhaps even noticing the same type of thing getting in your way time after time?

Would you like to change?

Would you like to become unstuck?

Are you ready to harness the power of your brain, through science-backed strategies to create neural pathways that help you turn obstacles into opportunities and allow you to create the path you desire?

Are you ready to release the patterns that are holding you back from taking that next step toward the life you desire?

Are you ready to uncover solutions and maximize your most powerful asset- your brain!

YES!

Transformation is possible by using the language of the mind to achieve our desired outcomes.

Through the use of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and other personalized coaching techniques used for transformational growth, you will be able to clarify your desires for both your conscious and unconscious mind. When working together you become the best version of yourself to achieve goals beyond your wildest dreams.

  • NLP, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is a set of techniques and principles designed to enhance communication and personal development. It focuses on the connection between our thoughts and how we take in information (neuro), language (linguistic), and patterns of behavior (programming).

  • Have you ever tried to talk to someone who didn’t share your language, and they just couldn’t grasp what you meant? Perhaps when ordering at a restaurant, you think you’ve ordered the local’s favorite dish and out comes something completely different, the pasta.  This mirrors the relationship many of us have with our unconscious mind.  We think we may be “requesting” things like more money, joy, a healthy relationship, family harmony, or nutritious diet.  However, if the desires aren’t materializing, it’s likely that the message is being misunderstood by your unconscious mind. 

    This is where NLP can help create clear connections with an outcome you desire.  NLP, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is a set of techniques and principles designed to enhance communication and personal development. It focuses on the connection between our thoughts (neuro), language (linguistic), and patterns of behavior (programming).

    NLP can support transformational growth by helping individuals:

    1. Set Clear Goals: It teaches how to define specific, achievable objectives, making it easier to focus efforts.

    2. Change Limiting Beliefs: NLP techniques can identify and reframe negative beliefs that hold people back, fostering a more empowering mindset.

    3. Enhance Communication: By improving interpersonal skills and understanding how language influences perception, individuals can build better relationships.

    4. Manage Emotions: NLP provides strategies for regulating emotions, reducing anxiety, and enhancing motivation.

    5. Create Positive Habits: It offers methods for replacing unhelpful habits with constructive ones, supporting long-term change.

    Overall, NLP empowers individuals to take control of their thoughts and behaviors, facilitating meaningful progress toward their goals.

  • "When I am lost and unsure, or just in need of encouragement Connie is the exact person I want to speak with. She listens patiently, hearing what is being said and what isn't being said. Reflecting back and asking powerful questions to help me understand myself and what I need in ways I couldn't see before. I always leave our conversations with clarity and confidence, motivated to take inspired action. I look up to her as a parent, entrepreneur, and soulful human and could not recommend her more!"
