ONE-ON-ONE COACHING
Welcome to the Seven Rooms™ Coaching Page.
This is where I start with every one of my coaching clients.
Now, I know we’ve never met. Maybe this page caught your attention because of the title in the menu bar, or maybe someone recommended it and sent you the link.
But before you decide anything, let’s just take a few minutes to figure out what’s been getting your attention lately — and where you might want to start with a little self-coaching before you ever meet me or talk to me.
WHAT TENDS TO GET OUR ATTENTION
There are usually a few different areas that get our attention. Maybe it’s your sleep. Your energy levels. Managing stress better. Something about your body or the way you’ve been eating. Maybe it’s work — your environment, what you’re doing every day, or whether you even like your job anymore.
Maybe it’s a relationship. A family member, your spouse, a significant other, or somebody else who matters to you.
And then there’s always that feeling of, “You know, I just don’t feel like myself lately, and I’m not really sure what to do.”
I think everything I just mentioned is fair.
I Just Have Three Questions for You.
You can answer them in your head. You can say the answers out loud. Or pull out a piece of paper and write them down.
I just want you to notice how you feel when you read each one — and what comes to mind when you answer it.
What has been getting your attention lately?
What do you keep thinking about, worrying about, trying to change — or quietly hoping will improve on its own?
How long have you been working around it?
A few weeks? Six months? Longer than you’d really like to admit?
If nothing changes, what does another year of this actually cost you?
Not just money. Energy. Confidence. Sleep. Time. Relationships. The parts of your life you keep saying you’ll get back to later.
HERE’S WHY I’M ASKING
Most of us are pretty good at noticing what hurts, what annoys us, what isn’t working, or what feels out of place. We’re not always as good at seeing what’s connected to it.
And that’s exactly what I want you to see next.
I’ve Designed an Amazing Tool Called Seven Rooms™
This tool has really helped me and my clients.
And here’s why I built it.
I just got tired of having the same conversations with everyone.
Someone would sit down across from me and say, I need to change my sleep, or I need to get back to the gym, or I need to lose some weight — and they’d be right that something needed attention, and wrong about where it started.
Forty minutes later, the sleep problem was really the job. The gym problem was really the knee they’d been working around. The eating problem was really what was left of them by the time they got home.
I could get there in an hour of asking questions. But most people don’t book an hour with a stranger to find out whether their problem is even their problem.
So I put the questions in rooms you can walk into by yourself.
Seven parts of your life. The ones that lean on each other whether you like it or not — how you eat, how you move, how you sleep and recover, what’s asking for your attention, who’s around you, where you spend your days, and whether any of it still feels like it’s heading somewhere.
Let’s Go!
Your Seven Rooms are waiting below.
SEVEN
ROOMS™
You have seven. Everybody does.
Yours won’t look like anybody else’s.
Move the slider or choose what feels closest. Then hit NEXT.
Your Power
+ Your Choices™
You’ve walked through all seven. Before we put the picture together, there’s one more thing I care about: what in all of this is actually yours to move?
Some things are yours to change. Some you can influence. And some, at least for now, are going to sit there whether you like them or not. Knowing which is which can save an astonishing amount of energy.
THE WHOLE PICTURE™
Okay. Now we can actually look at something useful.
You didn’t just answer questions about food, sleep, movement, stress and the rest of your life as though they happen in separate zip codes. You put them in the same room.
The thing you’ve been blaming yourself for may turn out to make a lot more sense once the rest of Tuesday is allowed into the conversation.
KEEP DOING THIS
EASIEST PLACE TO START
WORTH A CLOSER LOOK
COULD CHANGE A LOT
Not a complete overhaul. Just the next useful move, if there is one.
What did you notice?
WHAT SURPRISED YOU?
The answer you didn’t expect is often the one worth paying attention to.
WHAT CONFIRMED SOMETHING YOU ALREADY SUSPECTED?
Sometimes seeing it clearly is different from vaguely knowing it’s there.
WHAT DID YOU SEE THAT YOU’RE NOT QUITE SURE WHAT TO DO WITH YET?
That’s usually where a good conversation becomes useful.
WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU FOUND?
Hey, just a thought.
If you want to talk about what you found after going through your Seven Rooms, I’d be happy to give you 60 minutes of my time.
Before we meet, send me your results. I’ll take a look at what came up — what you’re already doing well, where the tool suggested you start, what may deserve a closer look, and anything that could make a bigger difference than you realized.
Then we’ll find a time that works.
I’ll come to the conversation having already looked through your answers, and we can connect some of the dots together: what matters, why it matters, what may be influencing what, where to start, and what you can actually do about it.
If coaching makes sense for you after that, fantastic. I’ll tell you.
And if it doesn’t, that’s okay too. I just want you to leave our conversation with a clearer understanding of what deserves your attention, why it matters, and a practical idea of how to begin making the changes that make sense for you.

Looking forward to hearing what you discovered.
