When you're really motivated to reach a personal goal, and you're enjoying yourself every step of the way, then success feels inevitable—it's a done deal!

But even for the best and brightest among us, it doesn't always work that way. Motivation can come and go, and daily life can distract, stall, or side track you.

That's where I can help!

My name is Gerry Fisher. I'm a unique Life Coach who gets you unstuck emo­tionally, helping you reach personal goals quicker and easier...for your career, dating, personal happiness, and much more. I meet with children (10+), adults, couples, and families; my skills include more than a decade of Life Coaching experience, a clinical Counseling master's degree, and 20+ years of corporate experience as a software technical writer—including being a hiring manager and starting my own businesses.

Your life is important, so call 410-949-7888 or email me now to set up a free half-hour consultation meeting or phone call to see if we're a good fit for working together. Don't delay success and personal happiness another minute!

You can click here for a detailed description, but this section contains a brief summary. Generally, I help where needed during these steps:

1. Getting clear on where you are now in life, where you want to go in the future, and how you can best get there.
2. Staying focused and advancing toward your goals step-by-step, over time.
3. If you get stuck, learning how it happened, how to get out of it, and how to prevent it from happening again.

I guide you during regular, one-hour conversations. I also provide unlimited, brief phone and email coaching. On average, clients meet with me for 6 to 9 months.

I believe people most often struggle to reach goals for emotional reasons: the daily motivation and focus are not there, or difficult feelings such as stress, worry, sadness, or frustration get in the way. I believe we can all learn—both strategies and emotional skills, and that the skills we learn can get us re-motivated and moving again. Also, many of the skills I teach are proven by research to help you feel better! Hear it from a former client of mine:

Psychotherapists and Counselors believe that you get stuck because of unresolved issues, psychological problems, and chemical imbalances, and they provide you with medical treatment for your "disorder." Unfortunately, most use disproven counseling methods—research has shown they don't help you feel better—and there's just about no emphasis placed on reaching personal goals.

Typical Life Coaches believe that you get stuck because you aren't organized enough. Most of these coaches are briefly trained, personal "project managers," who list and prioritize your goals, and cheerlead your successes. However, they are unable or unwilling to keep going when people get stuck emotionally. If you're still stuck after they give you a positive-thinking and motivational-slogan hand-out, they refer you to a Psychotherapist or Counselor to work on "your issues."

Psychotherapists often refer clients to me who could use structured skill building to help them feel better. And Life Coaches regularly refer people who are stuck.

In my opinion, the best way to understand the differences in these approaches is to stop by my office, get comfortable with some coffee or tea, and discuss this topic with me in detail. Why not call me now at 410-949-7888 or email me to schedule an appointment?

My experience is broad and my clients are diverse; this section gives you some examples. I provide:

• Career Coaching and Executive Coaching

  I've worked with several CEOs of small firms, two Directors of Human Resources, an entrepreneur, and many other professionals. I've also assisted with a number of career changes, and I help with resume tune-ups.

• Dating and Relationship Coaching

  Examples include making small talk, finding a compatible spouse, building a strong couples partnership, strengthening parent-child relationships, recovering from a break-up, and more.

• Retirement Coaching

  The "quit work and go play golf all day" retirement model doesn't work for many people. I help clients to reduce the intimidation factor and to create a comfortable, custom retirement plan.

• Educational Coaching

  Examples include effective test taking, writing papers, shortening homework time, and more.

• Gay Lifestyle Coaching

  As an openly gay professional, I help with coming-out issues, accessing community resources, reconciling lifestyle with spirituality, and more.

Instead of running down a diversity checklist, come on into the office for a half hour, relax, and speak with me at length until you've got a good feeling about working together. Why not give me a call at 410-949-7888 or email me today to set up an appointment for your free, half-hour consultation?
