Individuals
Individuals seeking a coach have made a conscience decision to live a more fulfilled life. These individuals spend time with me learning more about themselves. They find clarity around what gifts they possess and what gets in the way of helping them achieve their dreams. I love seeing the growth and desire the individuals have to live the life they deserve.
Marriage
People often wait to seek a coach when a marriage has struggles that have caused a break down in the communication of the relationship. And I do work with clients that need help finding a path they are both willing to walk together. Better communication and articulation are paramount in the relationship and, as a coach, I bring tools to help build upon this foundation.
However, coaching married couples that feel they already have a good marriage can be very beneficial, as well. As a coach, I can help the couple enhance their communication and set goals for where they each would like the marriage to go. "What is the next level? How can we achieve this? What part do we each play?” These are just some areas we will explore.
Engaged couples who choose coaching get the benefits of setting a solid foundation in the relationship. They learn tools to help with conflict resolution and how to bring their best self to the partnership.
Families/Blended Families
Coaching families is extremely gratifying. It allows each individual to have a voice. It gives each person the chance to express where they are at right now, where they want to go, and how they want to get there as a family unit. When everyone is heard, communication improves, and it brings about deep respect. That is when the magic happens.
When a couple marries and families merge together, a coach can help the family identify the new roles, and help put in place boundaries the family agrees to. This can help give some structure to the family at a time of change.
Sports Teams
The dynamics of a team is very powerful. Often times the success of the teams is indicative of the relationship within. I can help the team find clarity to the roles and help the athletes to be able to identify what they bring to the team and what is the impact they make. A coach can help the athletes set up goals for the team, as a whole, and help the athletes clarify what role they play in achieving the team goal.
Businesses
Coaches have been proven very successful in the business arena. I have been brought in when companies are not hitting their numbers of productivity is down. I have been utilized when a company is going through a change such as succession and there have been concerns as to what will happen with the employees or upper management. In each instance, the key to success is communication.
I have helped many companies find their collective voice while each individual has been heard. When employees feel their talents are being utilized there is a sense of satisfaction that increases productivity. The business environment is essential to their success and it has been amazing to see the transformation in the businesses I have had the honor to work with.
Equestrian
Traci Matheu, LSCC, is a certified life/business coach. She’s been coaching families, individuals, marriages, sports teams, and businesses for years. The equestrian setting is a perfect environment for coaching. Horses are very intuitive animals. They not only see with their eyes, but with their hearts as well. Whether a family or a couple is trying to articulate needs differently, or a business or sports team is needing to communicate more productively, equestrian coaching is extremely effective.
“I have found when coaching with these magnificent creatures, it takes people out of their heads and puts them in a space of authenticity and vulnerability. This is when I find people are most open to see where shifts need to take place in their lives.” (Traci Matheu, LSCC.)
The equestrian coaching is held at the beautiful stable, Victory Reins, (www.victoryreins.org ) in Peotone, IL. If interested in an equestrian coaching session or a personal coaching session with Traci Matheu, please feel free to call 815-483-4268 or email at coachtracim@gmail.com.
