Imagine a friend who wants nothing more than your complete success. This friend always listens with interest to what you have to say, and gives you the feedback you need to make tough choices and changes. This is the essential job of a coach. We try to help you state the problem clearly and understand it. We help you plan an approach to solving it and executing that plan. As a coach, I believe that you already have the knowledge and skills you need for the solution; and my job is to help you bring out those skills and use them effectively.

Although there are some similarities with coaching and psychotherapy, the focus in each is very different. Generally, when someone seeks out therapy they are having difficulty functioning. Often it is because they are suffering from some emotional or psychological problems.

However, when someone thinks about hiring a coach he or she is generally handling professional and life responsibilities well. Yet, they are beginning to feel a need for support and focus to accomplish new goals and satisfaction. The client’s ability to function well and take responsibility is an important aspect of setting up “the coaching relationship” because the client will play the major role in creating their success.

In my work as a Life & Career Success Coach, I bring a wonderful mosaic of life and professional experiences. The life experiences I recieved from living in a number of cities and having traveled globally has helped me give my clients a broader view of success. I flourished in an exciting and successful career in the fashion industries of New York, Paris and London. I enjoyed creative expression as a jazz vocalist and writer and experience inspiration through my service with The Sukyo Mahikari Centers for Spiritual Development. Their motto is to "Improve Yourself -Improve The World." (www.sukyomahikari.org )

I am also actively practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Therapist. My work is a harmony between Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology and Universal Spiritual Praactices. It is a step-by-step supportive process to help you improve your self-awarness about your strengths and liabilities. This gives you the confidence you need to confront any current or future challenges.  I am a Blue Cross provider or you can self-pay. You can email me at louise@newanswerscounseling.com.

My work as a coach has been a beautiful expansion of my previous careers and life experiences. Some of the techniques I use are based on the training I received from the Mentor Coach Training Institute along with concepts from Positive Psychology and Business Leadership Strategies. I have also trained with WBEC as a Core Practicioner in Judith Glaser's CONVERSATIONAL INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM.

This mosaic of life and professional experience has inspired me to develop Positive Attitude Coaching.com because I am convinced that we can overcome obstacles with our innate gifts, strengths and life experiences. My passion as a coach is to encourage every client to realize this knowledge for themselves so they can actualize a life of success and fulfillment.

In my speaking engagements, I offer practical skills to inspire organizations and individuals to overcome the blocks and self-limiting ideas that keep them from achieving their goals for success and harmony. I have expanded my work in Positive Attitude Coaching in a book, STEPPING STONES TO SUCCESS which I had the privilege of coauthoring with a number of experts such as Deepak Chopra, Jack Canfield and Dr. Denis Waitley.  I have also  published as a coauthor in the Gratitude Book Project -Celebrating 365 Days of Gratitude.

I have published my own book called CHANGING OBSTACLES INTO NEW POSSIBILITIES - STRATEGIES FOR ACHIEVING LIFE SUCCESS AND SATISFACTION. "The little book" you absolutely have to have is filled with simple skills and quotes to refer to each day or each week to help you reframe your attitude to create the potential for more life success and satisfaction. Available on Amazon.com & Kindle or on my website: PositiveAttitudeCoaching.com.

I also had an exciting adventure hosting my Internet Radio Show for VoiceAmericaVariety.com called

LOUISE COHEN'S CHANGING OBSTACLES INTO NEW POSSIBILITIES with lots of inspiring guests.

The show is available on Podcast on my website
