Work and Career Issues
Coaching for work and career issues can help a person develop a better understanding of their needs, as well as learn new ways of handling tension. Coaching is a safe, confidential way you can discuss their fears, worries, or stressors, and regain control of your happiness.
You spend most of your time at work. Is your workplace safe and comfortable? Different personalities, communication styles, and worldviews can give rise to conflict. In fact, workplace bullying continues to increase.
Examples of common workplace issues include:
- Poor Job Fit
- Mental Anguish
- Sexual or Verbal Harassment
- Discrimination
- Low Motivation and Job Dissatisfaction
Grief
We all experience a loss at some point in our life. Statistics show that 1 in 5 children will experience the death of someone close to them before they turn 18. Feelings of grief are not always associated with death. The loss of a job, a dream, or a relationship often cuts us to the core. In moments of sorrow, there is hope for the brokenhearted. God has offered us a peace that surpasses understanding, gently healing wounds that seem impossible to mend. Through His presence, we are never alone in our pain. The Bible reminds us that God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34.18). His love and compassion surround us, providing a refuge in the midst of the storm.
Through Christ’s care, even the deepest sorrow can eventually be transformed into a place of renewal and strength.
Emotional Eating
Some people eat just because they are hungry. Others eat because they enjoy the taste. But for 9% of the US population or almost 30 million Americans, food is a self-prescribed medicine to try to cure loneliness, heartache, fear and hurt. As a medicine, food is very effective because from it we get our nourishment. But when food becomes our “go to” for comfort, it can become an addiction.
Hope is Here! If you or someone you care about has an unhealthy relationship with food, addressing the issue is the first place to start.
Relationship
A licensed mental health coach provides the tools needed when relationships are strained. Improved communication, enhanced problem-solving, and conflict resolution skills can help reconnect broken relationships.
Depression
Do you find yourself no longer experiencing pleasure in activities you once found enjoyable? You may be one of the 163 million people (2% of the global population) suffering from major depressive disorder. Depressed people may be preoccupied with thoughts and feelings of worthlessness, inappropriate guilt or regret, helplessness, or hopelessness. Depression commonly manifests physically through stomach pains, headaches, disrupted or excessive sleep, and motor control difficulty. While the causes of depression are unknown, a predisposition for it runs in families and can be triggered by trauma and adverse life circumstances.
Depression and anxiety often exacerbate each other, and people with depression commonly have difficulty concentrating on tasks and conversations. Some people abuse alcohol and drugs or overeat as a way of coping, causing them to develop other medical problems. Depressed people are also at increased risk for self-harm.
