Private Disability Coaching: 3-Step Method

Private Coaching with Etienne

Disability doesn't have to stop you; it can carry you forward!

Are you ready to unlock your true potential? Our program offers a transformative opportunity to help you break free from what might hold you back. Set meaningful personal goals, and craft a personalized action plan that fosters resilience and adaptability. This journey towards empowerment will enable you to pursue your passions with purpose and excitement.

STEP 1 : What's Stopping You?

Like everyone, sometimes people with a disability develop beliefs about what they can and can’t do that prevent them from considering new or better options and possibilities. This is why we start with this step first. Maybe you fear judgment or failure. Or maybe you view disability as a trap, an unwanted label, or an unending mountain to climb. Every impairment, injury, or illness affects people differently. In this first step, we’ll consider how your thoughts about your disability may be holding you back. There is no cookie-cutter solution, but you’ll discover how you can shrink your inner monsters to size and take your best first step to make room for new possibilities.

STEP 2 : Explore a New Version of You

A new level of ability comes with a disorienting loss that we need to process before we can get creative again. Perhaps your dexterity has changed, but there are still options to discover that can express your artistic or athletic side. The version of you that you like still exists, even if it is changing shape. In this step, we reconnect with your values and what brings you a sense of accomplishment, joy, and integrity, so that you can define a clear vision to continue growing into the person you want to be.

STEP 3 : Move Confidently Towards Your Goals

We’ll identify your goals and create a plan to help you achieve them in your own way. Perhaps you want to learn a new profession, see the world, or start that project you've been dreaming of. We will also prepare alternative steps to guide you in the right direction, in case you need to adapt. Each step in this journey strengthens your “resilient adaptive muscle," an invaluable asset that your disability is helping you develop. As your adaptability becomes second nature, it will nourish your creativity, hope, self-respect, and empowerment. At the end of this step, you’ll have a concrete, strong, and flexible plan. You’ll know you can face any challenge either by relying on yourself or with the support of others, and rebuild a life filled with purpose where you wake up excited to take on the day with all the support you need to achieve your goals.

Some questions you might have

What is Coaching?

In short, coaching is a creative process that inspires people to be their best and make positive changes in their lives. It’s a partnership focused on growth, improvement, and success in both personal and work life.

It is an helpful partnership between a trained certified coach and a person that focuses on discovering and using the person's true potential to achieve meaningful goals.

It’s like a creative team effort where the coach serves as a thinking partner, supporting the individual in becoming more aware of their strengths and helping them turn those strengths into real actions in their life.

Instead of dwelling on past mistakes, coaching looks forward to the future, helping the person discover new ideas and solutions. The coach encourages the person to think deeply and find answers inside themselves, making progress they can actually measure.

Coaching helps people see new ways to handle challenges, make better decisions, improve how they interact with others, and gain confidence. By committing to coaching, people often become more productive, happier, and better at reaching their personal and professional goals.

What is the difference between a therapist, a consultant and a coach?

Therapist: A therapist heals wounds from the past. They are trained and licensed professional who helps people understand and heal emotional or mental health issues. Therapists focus on past experiences and feelings that might be causing problems, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. Their work often involves diagnosing and treating mental health conditions to help people feel better and function well in daily life.
Consultant: A consultant is an expert who gives advice and solutions to businesses or individuals on specific problems. They use their knowledge and experience to tell clients what to do to fix issues, improve performance, or reach goals. Consultants provide clear answers and strategies based on what has worked in similar situations.
Coach: A coach works as a thinking partner with a person, helping them discover their own strengths and find their own answers. Coaching is future-focused, aiming to help a person set and reach goals, improve skills, and become more confident. Unlike consultants, coaches don’t give direct advice; instead, they ask powerful questions and encourage the person to explore options and take action.

Each plays a unique role, and people often benefit from all three at different times depending on their needs.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

Coaching might be just what you need if :

You are curious about your life
You want to change something.
You think you deserve to do something for yourself.
You want to explore possibilities with a thinking partner.
You are willing to grow.

Coaching is not for you if :

You want somebody to tell you what to do.
You are convinced there is no hope for you.
You don't want to challenge yourself a bit outside of your comfort zone.
