FOCUS! PERSONAL COACHING

Meet Judith Lindenau!

I have spent 30 years as an association manager, with an emphasis on strategic goals and

leadership training. During my career, I was awarded the highest award possible from the

National Association of Realtors for excellence in association management. I also hold the

Certified Association Executive designation from the American Society of Association

Executives, and Realtor Certified Association Executive designation from the National

Association of Realtors. I recently earned the Certificate in Non-Profit Association Management

from the University of Chicago, and I am an instructor for that program.

I am a trained Life Coach, and president of JWL Associates, where I conduct Focus! personal

coaching and offer consulting services to associations and non-profit organizations.

Who is a Focus! client?

The Focus! coaching client is someone seeking to reach higher levels of performance, learning,

or satisfaction. People who hire a coach do so because they want more out of life--they want to

grow personally and professionally, and they want to accomplish more with greater efficiency,

ease, and personal satisfaction. Focus! Coaching is dedicated to helping clients meet their goals.

What is coaching?

Focus! coaching is designed to help you do more than you would have done on your own. As a

personal coach I will provides the tools and support to help you define your goals and reach

them.

At Focus!, I work very closely with my clients to define, clarify, and achieve their own

personal and professional goals.. Essentially, coaching is about tapping into the skills already

within you, so that you can enjoy a more fulfilling life.

My coaching philosophy is based on a simple purpose: people are searching for and uncovering

what they really want. They are seeking the assistance of a motivator or coach who can help

them achieve what they want faster and more efficiently.

What happens when you hire a coach?

By hiring a coach

1. You become more focused

2. You clearly define and prioritize your goals

3. You move toward gaining what you want.

As your coach I will focus on

1. Strengthening your personal foundation

2. Building your confidence

3. Creating a structure for setting and achieving measurable, realistic goals

Most people believe that they do not need a coach. They may not. Ask yourself:

1. Are you doing what you enjoy most?

2. Are you tolerating anything?

3. Are you ready for a new direction in your life?

4. Do you have what you want?

Can you hire a coach for a short term specific short term project?

Absolutely. Often people come to a coach to address a definite issue, just as I did when I decided

to retire. Not only did I need to know what the steps were toward my goal, but I wanted to know

how to make a better, more rewarding life after I left my ‘day job’. Of course, what I found out

was that there was much more to work on than the one issue which led me to my coach.

For how long must you make a commitment to a coach?

You and I will agree on a time frame in your first session. Often the project will be short term,

but expand as you go along. Coaches like to work with clients for a three to six-month time

period, but my clients have the option to stop immediately if coaching is not working for them.

Why does coaching work?

Coaching works for several reasons:

1. The relationship between a coach and client creates momentum.

2. Better goals are set. These new goals will naturally pull the client towards the goal

and keep the process positive and rewarding.

3. As client s develop new skills, these skills translate into greater success.
