You don't find meaning in life. You make it. Coaching gives you the tools to create the life you want and live the life you have imagined. You are not a victim of circumstance, you can change and choose your relationships and your goals.

Quinn McDonald is a Certified Creativity Coach

Will Coaching Help You?
Coaching is a powerful tool for changing your life. Whether it's being heard at work or in your family, or making hard decisions, coaching is a supportive environment that helps you explore what you really want and work toward it.
 
Coaching helps you gain perspective, supports you in making choices, and encourages exploration of new goals and ideas. Part of the success of coaching is moving steadily toward a goal, reaching it, and choosing a new goal. Quinn's job is to keep a client in action and to help them move out of their comfort zone without fear.
 
When Is the Best Time for Coaching?
Many people think that they should wait for their life to settle down before they start coaching. Quinn has been trained in coaching 'in the middle of everything' because most people don't have too many perfect times to negotiate change. It's in the rushed, panicked, fearful times that coaching can be a saving GPS system for you.
 
How Does Coaching Work?  
Quinn has structured her coaching sessions to be useful and convenient. As a certified creativity coach and life coach who guides you through re-invention or self-discovery, she offeres different approaches. 
     
     Coaching works:
  • Three times a month, during a 1-hour phone call
  • During a once-in-a-while check-in for previous clients
  • When you do your assignments and think about your session
  • During emails or quick check-in calls
  • When you put your learning to the test

Convenient Location, Times and Payment Plans 

I do all my coaching on the phone, so you don't have to get lost, spend time driving or pay for parking. 

  • Evening- and early-morning hours let you schedule your coaching for a time when you are focused and have privacy 
  • Coaching is tax deductible as an education expense.
  • Pay with a credit cards or check. 
  • 3, one-hour long sessions cost $275 per month
  • A one-hour occasional coach costs $100

Location: You can be anywhere. Coaching on the phone is convenient for your schedule, no matter where you are. I have clients scattered around the globe, so time zones are not an obstacle. Below is a link to figure out time zones. Start with your location. I'm in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

Try a free sample session.  Call 286-6220 (Area code 480) to schedule your 30-minute free session. Not a demonstration or a pitch, this 30-minute free coaching session starts with the issues that you want to be coached on. It's a real coaching session.

At the end, we will decide on an appropriate challenge as "homework." You'll ask any questions you have on coaching. There is no pressure and I won't sign you up after the coaching sample. You'll have time to think it through before you start. 

Life Coaching 
Live a rich, fulfilling life. Change your life by using the tools you get through coaching. Give up feeling like a victim and take control. If you are stuck in a job, relationship, or financial trap, coaching can help you break out.
A rut is simply a groove you've been in too long.
 
Life coaching includes:
  • Transition coaching from one career to another or after a personal change
  • Re-invention into a new phase of your life
  • Resolving work or career conflices in a way that helps you grow
  • Solving problems that seem to come back again and again
Creativity Coaching
For anyone who wants to try creativity as a way of life. Creativity coaching helps you find and fan your creative flame, whether it's writing, performing, singing, or simply using creativity to live a rich, authentic life with choices and goals.
 
Creativity coaching includes:
  • Finding that creative spark and fanning it into a flame
  • Choosing one project from many and completing it
  • Finding time to do creative work
  • Living with perfectionism in your art
  • Moving your art into a career (the business of art)
  • Moving from an art business career into creative exploration
