| What
is Coaching? |
Life
Coaching is an emerging field and quickly becoming one of
the leading methods that successful people use to accomplish
their goals and improve their quality of life. Coaching
is a process by which individuals are empowered to develop
personal life goals. They are then helped to design a specific
action plan intended to motivate them toward making lasting,
positive changes in their lives. |
In
much the same way that a health club member hires a personal
trainer for guidance in creating an optimal workout regimen
and wellness plan, a personal life coach teams with an individual
to work collaboratively on developing strategies that will
promote achievement of their specified goals. It’s
an exciting project! And one that is likely to inspire greater
self-awareness and personal growth. |
Coaching
is NOT therapy, however. Psychotherapy is directed more
toward diagnosing and treating emotional problems (eg. depression,
anxiety, addictions, etc.) and emphasizes healing and recovery.
Coaching, on the other hand, assumes individuals are coming
from a healthy frame of reference, armed with a strong desire
to accomplish their life goals and mobilized for action.
The Gay Love Coach: Man 4 Man Coaching Services does not
provide psychotherapy or counseling services. For such services,
a referral is made to a licensed clinician as best practice. |

I Need Therapy?” offered by Psychology Today. Go to

| Mission
Statement |
| Historically,
there have minimal resources available to the gay community
for fostering positive and affirming identities, particularly
in the area of relationships. While there finally appears
to be a shift in society’s awareness of gay issues,
there remains a crucial void for fulfilling the needs that
gay men seek to enhance the quality of their lives and relationships.
Predominantly due to homophobia and a lack of visible role
models, we were never really taught how to best manage our
singlehood as gay men, let alone how to effectively date and
maintain intimate long-term relationships with other men.
And that is the driving force behind the creation of The Gay
Love Coach: Man 4 Man Coaching Services™. |
| This
website, and its offerings, is intended to serve as a central
hub and interactive community for gay men seeking information
and support for more efficiently navigating their single/dating
lives and relationships. Despite the negative and ignorant
stereotypes, gay relationships CAN and DO thrive. There has
just been a lack of guidance in helping gay men better understand
themselves, identify what they’re looking for in a potential
partner, and develop the necessary skills and confidence to
seek out and sustain healthy, long-term committed relationships.
It is hoped, through this website’s services and the
shared wisdom of all gay men around the globe who visit and
participate in this site, that our community can benefit with
improved knowledge and skills for being more happily single
or coupled in our lives. |
“I
work with gay men who are ready to create a road map that
will lead them to find and build a lasting partnership with
Mr. Right.”
