Monica S. Wheeler

Life Coach

What is Life Coaching? 

Monica's goal as a life coach is to ensure that when you are one hundred and five years old and on your death bed, you are not saddled with a list of regrets.  She wears many hats to accomplish this.  She's a goal setter, motivator, time-management consultant, sounding board, confidant, dream-builder, spiritually enhancer, weight loss teacher, transition bridger, personal organizer, and then some.  And she just might be all of these to you during a one hour coaching session. Whether you are in a life transition such as retirement or divorce or simply want to add more balance and spirituality to your life, coaching may be right for you.

How Does Coaching Differ From Therapy

Therapy often deals with diseases of the mind and body.  It delves deeply into past experiences and traumas.  Life coaching has no connection to psychiatry and focuses on making a better life for people, overcoming hurdles, and getting results.  Life coaching focuses on the here and now and future and works with individuals who just want a better life, balance, and how they define “success.” 

Who Is Monica?

If anyone knows how to set goals and achieve them, it is Monica.  At age thirteen she had the dream of flying planes and attending the Air Force Academy.  Ten years later she was throwing her hat in the air in Colorado with a thousand other Air Force Academy graduates and had logged 60 hours in an airplane.  By the age of 31, she had overcome life threatening diseases and emerged stronger and more resilient.  She lives in Central Oregon in the beautiful town of Bend, graduated from the Life Coaching Institute, and is a member of the ICF  (International Coach Federation). She can coach about any particular concern, but specializes in retirement coaching because of her extensive work with volunteer retirees in her last occupation and the fact she is retired Air Force.  Her e-book on "50 tips for a Great Retirement" is available now. Her spiritual background and spiritual writing also makes her a great coach for adding spirituality into your life and because of learning how to manage stress effectively in her military career, she is great for coaching stress management in the workplace.  Because she has learned to manage weight effectively and has written an e-book, "How to have your Cake and Veggies Too" about her success,she would be a good fit for anyone with weight issues. These are just a few examples. 

How Does Monica Coach?

Monica has a 6 step game plan that she created to coach her clients called DESIRE.  Using this approach works whether you want to go after your dream career, dream retirement, dream life, or simply to devise a way to take that dream vacation.

Testimonials:

Monica has helped me get focused and move forward after losing my son.  To help combat my anxiety, she helped me set daily and weekly goals that were attainable for me and then coached me on how to meet those goals.  Not only does she have many life experiences and insights to be a great coach, she also is a natural leader and has great organizational skills that she teaches her clients so they can succeed.  To me she has lovingly taken my hand and walked me through this difficult time in my life.

As a small business owner, Monica made me see how I was spending too much of my time on business practices that were not working.  With her help we strategized better ideas for my business and now I use my time more efficiently and set goals more effectively.
