“Non-judgmental” When I first decided to meet with a life coach, I was miserable and thought that I was going to change every aspect of my life: quit my job, change careers, move to a different city, and maybe end a relationship. After working with Marcie Stern as my life coach, I made an even bigger change – my attitude. I am in the same job, same city and same relationship and finding my peace and balance. Marcie helped me to focus my goals and identify my values. I learned that happiness came from the inside, my state of mind, not from external forces. I recognized a pattern of blaming my “life dissatisfaction” on where I lived, who I was with and what I did and realized that I would remain unhappy until I gave myself permission to honor my values and to take responsibility for my own negativity. When I opened myself up with hope in my heart and a positive attitude – wonderful opportunities presented themselves and amazing people came in to my life to help me on my journey. Now I realize, the first amazing person that came in to my life was Marcie. Marcie is supportive, non-judgmental, open, warm and encouraging. She does not lead you on your destination, but helps you to open the door and walks alongside you while you choose your own path and direction. I would encourage anyone to choose Marcie to walk alongside them on their own life journey.
