Welcome to Waypoint Wellness & Performance Coaching

Welcome to Waypoint Wellness & Performance Coaching. We are glad that you are here. We offer an enormous array of support to a varied yet specific clientele. For example, we work with individuals working on multiple aspects of their personal lives that range from work, family, relationships, fitness and the like. We work intensively with couples’ who maybe going through a wide range of challenges. We also work with entrepreneurs and those looking to make change within their career journey. In a nutshell we like to say we work with individuals, couples and entrepreneurs/career minded people. We have experience and expertise working with all of the above.

We believe that we all are in a process in becoming who we were meant to be

We believe we never have to change the “who we are” in our lives. We don’t have to change our core instead we need to “uncover” our core. We believe true self awareness is when we realize that it is time we finally get to “be ourselves.” Becoming ourselves is a process back to who we were created and intended to be. Just like we have biological DNA that defines many of our physical characteristics we believe we have creative, intellectual, relational, spiritual and physical DNA that defines our inner landscape, yet so much of life is not spent tending to this precious internal environment. Instead we are often persuaded to replace our own innate programming with assignments given to us from our culture or the workplace structures in which we find ourselves. The truth we miss is that we already have all the talents, gifts, ideas and creativity to move us in the direction that brings us more fulfilling and meaningful lives. This realization and understanding is what planted the seeds for the development of Waypoint wellness & performance coaching.

Waypoint believes we are all at some point on the journey and no matter where you find yourself you can pivot and move towards what truly matters most to you in any area of your life.

Pivot: according to Merriam-Webster: a shaft or pin on which something turns: A person, thing, or factor having a major or central role, function, or effect

The action of pivoting

Especially: the action in basketball of stepping with one foot while keeping the other foot at its point of contact with the floor

Waypoint coaching embraces the concept of the 2mm shift. If you make one small turn in this moment and plan to stay the course you will arrive at a completely different point to where you are right now. Waypoint coaching supports you in making conscious turns so that you can head down the path that will bring you where you want to go in order for you to have a more fulfilling life. You are the key player in your life and you can turn to go towards the goals you choose. Every decision we make brings us down a path. We get to decide. Did we say you get to decide? We can’t emphasize the power of “choice” enough. Waypoint brings you to points of awareness in order that you are empowered to make decisions that are best for you and those whom you love.

How did we lose our way?

We spend a lot of our lives conforming, or adopting values and ideas that do not belong to us. The bottom line is that so many of us have found ourselves in places that we never wanted and certainly never hoped for. Or conversely we spend a good chunk of our time forgetting our values and ideals as we succumb to the status quo, the pressures of those in “charge” in our workplaces as well as the mundaneness of the everyday, that is, living life drifting and without purpose.

Resistance to change even when change is so much better

Through our experiences teaching others (which included teaching teachers) we learned a lot about human nature and the resistance to change. Even when change means something important like “human rights”, “inclusion”, “supportiveness”, and “learning for all” people were still resistant and we wanted to know why. We kept finding ourselves working alongside people who really were quite content to stay “as is” and live the “status quo.” While we became more restless with our own status quo life we became intrigued with the concepts of change, purpose, meaning, attachment/connection and creative expression. We found ourselves thinking about what working alongside those who were ready for “change” in their own lives might be like. Instead of adding to a person’s already overloaded life we wanted to be a “game changer” for people who were ready to take hold and move towards their goals. These ideas were so intriguing to us that we set out towards our own personal quest to learn deeply about the concepts of change, motivation, and performance. We came to realize that so many people work incredibly hard and that change can be perceived as exhausting and overwhelming. We concluded that people require a sense of wellness and well-being long before they could develop further in areas of performance. At least if we want lasting change that is. At Waypoint we believe that “first you get well & then you perform.”

In our own lives here at Waypoint we continue to move forward ourselves.

Waypoint comes alongside you as you move forward

At Waypoint wellness & performance coaching you can’t stay in the one spot you find yourself today. Remember we are on your side.
