My name is Daniel, and while I've finished up my class work to become a life coach, I am continuing to offer affordable life coaching services to people both near and far to gain even more experience.
I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental approach to helping you work through life's challenges and opportunities with the idea that you will get where you want to arrive sooner by working with a coach like me. No matter what you’re going through, you don’t have to go through it alone.
While I have lived around the country, I've spent most of my life in Western Massachusetts. Throughout my life, I have been:
*a job coach for people with disabilities for 28+ years,
*a political advisor,
*a successful fundraiser
*a kayak and hiking guide for 4+ years
*a sober companion for nearly 8 years and counting
*a leader of a successful non-profit around the issues of local businesses, local banking, local investing, Fair Trade and sustainability for 15 years. My work involved much public speaking and media relations and numerous TV, radio and newspaper interviews and helping Northampton Mass. become the 6th Fair Trade Town in the United States.
Recognition of my work has been mentioned in 3 books: Good Morning Beautiful Business by the entrepreneur Judy Wicks, and Going Local and The Small Mart Revolution by the economist Michael Shuman.
While one off life coaching sessions are always offered, I offer weekly or bi-weekly late afternoon/evening coaching sessions by phone, video chat, or in person with brief and free texting support included between sessions. Session fees are offered on a sliding scale of $25 to $50 per hour through Venmo, Zelle, Paypal, or cash.
For those ready for a different approach to coaching, I also offer coaching while kayaking in safe and beautiful waterways around the area. Beginners are definitely encouraged. Rates for this are $250 for the day or $150 for the half day. Please reach out for the cost of a shorter paddle/coaching session, say after work for instance. You will come away from our time together a much better kayaker and have had the chance to do a deep dive to where you would like to take your life next. Coaching while walking or hiking can also be accommodated.
My areas of experience include, but aren’t limited to:
*Financial/Career Coaching
*Retirement Planning
*Health/Wellness
*Family Dynamics
*Grief/Loss
*Addiction
*Spirituality
*Disability Services
*Relationship Struggles
*De-Cluttering
*Emotional Intelligence
*Help with general life direction
*Public Speaking/Speech Writing
*Eco/Energy Coaching
*Project Management
*Marketing/Business Development
*Assisting your company to become more socially, locally, and/or environmentally responsible
*Progressive Political Campaigns
*Fundraising
*Executive Functioning
Financially speaking, is Math working for you, or is Math working against you? Because just like gravity, when Math works against you is guaranteed to make your life tougher.
“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it … he who doesn't … pays it.” -Albert Einstein
When you are ready, please reach out by phone, text, or email. Payment accepted through cash, venmo, and paypal.
