Why Coaching?
In my business career as a Sales and Marketing Manager, Vice-President and General Manager, I always sought to find what was on the leading edge for businesses to be the leaders in their respective fields. An introvert by nature, I had to push myself to get out of my comfort zone because I wanted to learn as much as I could from the best. I made it a point to be with people who were better than me, people who had more experience and successful leaders from different countries and cultures.
I went to Stanford University's Executive Program for Growing Companies, Graduate School of Business, Program on Negotiation for Senior Executives, (Inter-University Consortium, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tufts University) and read a ton of business books. This was at a time where intuition was being touted as one of the newest leadership tool.
It wasn't until a friend of mine gave me a book titled 'The Corporate Coach by Jim Miller', that I realized I had found what I was looking for. After reading this book, I knew that this would be the future key to having a successful business and a happy vibrant life. I shared it with the owner of the company I worked for and we implemented it with the all managers in the organization. Coaching was not prominent in the business world at this time and life coaching for personal support was a new concept. The profession was in its infancy stage.
After I left the company I worked for, I thought that if I believed in this process so much, I wanted to do it right. This is when I found Coach for Life. Coach for Life is a spiritually based coaching company that is accredited by The International Coaching Federation.
When you encourage others, you in the process are being encouraged because you’re making a commitment to that person’s life. Encouragement really does make a difference.

Master Certified Life Coach Designation- Jeff Bow
I have been blessed to have studied under Peter Reding. He helped guide me to my CLC (Certified Life Coach) and MCLC (Master Certified Life Coach) designations.
Peter's masterful teaching led me to develop my proprietary coaching model during my master certification. I was able to use my coaching model and demonstrate the 11 Core Competencies of the International Coach Federation (ICF) in recorded coaching calls with clients. I used this model for the foundation of my book, 'Stop Thinking, Start Believing: How to Break Through Fear and Ignite Your Brilliance.'
Contact Jeff Jeff Bow is to glass ceilings and mental blocks as meditation is to enlightenment. I'm not sure that makes sense, however, each hour being coached by Jeff Bow unlocks the hidden treasures in your own mine, shifts the paradigm of problem solving, gives fresh imputes to stalled thoughts and figuratively gives you a whack on the side of the head & a kick in the seat of your pants. Bottom line, Jeff is a heavy weight champion when it comes to fighting dilemmas, conundrums, paradoxes and enigmas. Would I encourage you to talk to Jeff about being coached? Yes, Jeff guided me from perplexed to empowered with purpose and he did it with a kind and caring heart.
