SouL-Centered Coaching

* * * Hear Jere talk about coaching on this "Bold Departures" PODCAST on Business RadioX. (Be patient, Jere gets introduced at about 6:40.)* * *

As a Soul-Centered Professional Coach, Jere works with individuals and organizations – people just like you - who have demonstrated the ability to achieve a high degree of success in their lives and who are ready, willing, and able to make a significant change in one or more area(s) of their life, such as: 

• Professional advancement
• Personal or spiritual growth
• Transitioning into a new career path or retirement
• Manifesting a new relationship, cultivating meaningful enhancements in an existing relationship, or finding a loving pathway out of a relationship
• Promoting positive changes in health and well-being

“Coaching is about possibilities,” says Jere. “Coaching is about transformation – transformation that brings fulfillment into your life, transforming relationships, transforming your moment-to-moment experience in life. I support my clients in transforming their lives – and consciousness. I ask questions like, 'What do you want to create in your life? What do you want more of? How do you want to ‘show up’ differently than the way you currently show up for yourself and others? How can you live your life to the fullest?' And then I help them explore, dig really deep, to find the answers to those questions and create action steps to bring those actions into their lives." 

“My clients are highly motivated and committed. I support them in breaking through their self-imposed barriers – their limiting beliefs or habitual thought patterns – to create and manifest ‘what’s next’ in their life or for their organization. In the process, I challenge and support my clients to examine and to grow on all levels – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. That last aspect is especially important, because making changes in other areas of a person’s life really isn’t meaningful and won't deliver lasting fulfillment unless the person examines the fundamental questions of ‘who am I?,’ ‘why am I here?,’ and ‘how can I make a meaningful difference in the world in this lifetime?’ When a person answers the question "What do I really want?" and acts upon that, then they can manifest life-changing joy and fulfillment that truly enhances their moment-to-moment experience and their contributions to the world. Coaching provides a container of support, encouragement, and accountability that often are the key ingredients to ensure a successful outcome, and not just 'more of the same.'"

Jere meets with clients in person or remotely via Zoom or  phone. He typically creates a program to work with clients for six months or longer. A program generally includes two 60 to 90-minute sessions each month, plus "spot coaching" by telephone, Zoom, text or email as needed between regular sessions, but it can vary depending on a client’s particular needs or the nature of the project he or she (or the organization) wants to work on. 

“It’s really impossible for me to communicate a meaningful impression of what the coaching experience is really all about just by talking or writing about it,” says Jere. “It’s kind of like trying to tell a person what it’s like to go swimming. I could talk to you about it for a long time, but until I get you in the water and show you how to move your arms and legs so that you begin moving yourself through the water, you’ll never really have an experience of what swimming really is all about. So, the best thing to do is call me or send me an email to start the conversation. What are your needs? What are you looking for in a coach? Let’s explore if it makes sense for us to work together!”  

Jere Friedman creates and facilitates powerful, life-changing retreats for men and women. For example, participants in The Authentic Man Retreat explored what it means to fully live as a “man” in today’s world at all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. These men were profoundly moved as they deepened their connection to their “Authentic Self” and moved forward on their life’s journey. They learned heart-centered listening and shared their own life experiences and wisdom while receiving the same from the other men in the group. Each person had fun, created strong connections with like-minded men, and developed a more meaningful relationship with Spirit, Self, and the world at large.  

Jere Friedman and fellow meditation teacher Laurie Keig-Morrell led 20 men and women in a one-day retreat entitled “TAKING REFUGE – Cultivating Unconditional Friendship with Oneself.” Discussion topics and activities included instruction, discussion, and experience with a wide variety of meditation processes that cultivate self-compassion, loving-kindness for oneself and others, gratitude, and inner peace; exploring how cultivating self-compassion enhances our inner and outer life experience, enriches our connection with ourselves and others, and promotes enhanced relationships; gentle yoga with Laurie; and a gongbath with Jere.
