First of all, a little background on my training¦
I come from a line of Coaches who were practicing decades before life coaching and motivational speaking were commonly known. My lineage begins with Lou Tice, who is regarded as a world leader in coaching performance excellence and founded The Pacific Institute over 33 years ago. Mr. Tice trained Esther Creek, who then coached and trained Arlene Rosenberg of The Rosenberg Group (and the author of "Say It, See It, Be It. How Visions and Affirmations Will Change Your Life.") My coaching training was conducted exclusively with Ms. Rosenberg over the course of 10 years.
I started my Coaching career helping performers in the entertainment industry. I used my education as an actress (Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London; BA Honors) with my extensive coaching training to show performers how to get the focus off themselves and onto their work and their serving of the audience. My career expanded when I took it out of the performance realm to coaching executives, writers and 9 to 5'ers.
Today I have a private practice, coaching approx. 25 clients a week. All of this work is done over the phone, Monday through Friday. Just like myself, Jill Heisler (my first Life Coaching "graduate" ) did not come to me wanting to be a coach, she came to me wanting to create the life she desired and needing help to get there.
"Arlene, Jill and I all needed to change our lives and learn the discipline and the materials to do that. I am of the emphatic belief that a good coach is a Coach that walks the walk and can also talk the talk, but that crucial walk MUST come first.

PETER PAMELA ROSE INTRODUCES JILL HEISLER!
Jill in her own words:
As a life coach specializing in nutrition, unhealthy eating, exercise, career, and relationships, my aim is to help you clearly define your goals and set up an effective plan of action to achieve those goals. My strength lies in helping people identify the attitudes and behaviors that are blocking them, and then developing practical tools to pursue their dreams and desires. This is achieved through homework assignments, discipline exercises, reading, and more. Sessions are designed to help you move forward, empowering you to take responsibility for what you truly want and deserve.
All sessions are held over the phone, however a face-to-face meeting can be arranged at a mutually agreed upon place and time. References are available. All coaching is strictly private and confidential. A FREE 20 minute consultation is always offered to any interested party.
"After every session with Jill I feel that in my problems has either been solved or I have a strategy to deal with it. She is supportive, patient, and very open/honest about how she dealt with her own experiences that relate to yours. You can tell just by talking to her that she has achieved serenity and balance in her life."

Here is a copy of the article I wrote for Peter Pamela Rose’s APRIL, 2007 Newsletter:
INTENDING YOUR WAY INTO A NEW CAREER by Jill Heisler |
"I've been in my career for seven years but only make lateral moves."
"I want to do something creative but don't know what."
"I own a zillion career books but can't finish any of them."
I hear this all the time from coaching clients and my personal friends. No matter what their career, age, gender, or city, the common complaint is always the same: they feel stuck and don't know how or where to begin to get unstuck. And with a job, bills, relationships, and life to live, it can feel overwhelming, even impossible to make time for the mundane, self-conscious, uncomfortable task of thinking about what they want to do with their life.
This is such a frustrating predicament—I know.
When I was young, I wanted to be a writer and live in California by the ocean. I didn't know what kind of writer or where in California. I just knew this as an absolute, as certain as I have blonde hair and brown eyes.
Throughout adolescence and college, my favorite classes were in literature, my creative stories and papers garnered praise from teachers and family, and I was even invited to apply for an Honors English study during my junior year of undergraduate journalism school. However, after two summer writing internships and a taste of being on my own in New York City, making a living as a writer there seemed impossible. Plus, when was the last time I wrote just for fun (or sat still)? I declined to apply for the Honors program and switched my focus to the more lucrative, more exciting business side of publishing.
Fast forward six years later, I had a successful career in magazine marketing, but a nagging feeling that I wasn't working at my full potential, and that New York wasn't the center of my universe.
How did I begin to get unstuck? It surely wasn't from many times my friend asked me to write for his design magazine, the praise at work for my proposals, or the personal essays I read by acclaimed female writers.
It was while working with Peter, beginning a practice of meditation, and learning to be still with my feelings that the nagging feeling grew louder and stronger. At the same time, every vacation I took led me to the beach, with a book on writing or creativity, and a sense of peace the moment I put pen to paper or stepped onto the shoreline.
Why had I had abandoned both dreams? Fear, of course. That I wasn't good enough and didn't have enough.
"Talk to everyone you know who's a writer and ask them how they do it," Peter instructed. "Your job is to find out everything about writing as a career, remembering that you have a full-time job already, so what do you have to lose?"
When I put it out there to the universe—I think I may want to write and live in California—the universe opened door after door as if it was waiting for me to get there.
Because I was open, colleagues turned out to be part-time writers, business trips took me to California, people I met were either moving or from there, I heard about a great writing class, which led to me writing essays, then to a writer's group, then pitching my stories, getting published, and making money, then an opportunity to write for that friend's magazine. And wouldn't you know it—people now ask me how to become a writer! Me!?
This shift of intentions hasn't happened overnight, nor have I felt comfortable with the process. In fact, I have kicked and screamed, worried, and over-analyzed much of the past few years. But I have also learned to tap into the idea of abundance—that the universe is filled with limitless possibilities and that the only block to achieving them is me. And that today is more important than tomorrow or yesterday.
That small kid who was too young to know about self-conscious, self-centered fear is the kid I try to be now. I need only glance at the ocean-blue and sandy-beige walls of my apartment to see that I'm doing a pretty darn good job.
