Daniel Raphael - Holistic Life Coach

"All [people] seek one goal: success or happiness. The only way to achieve true success is to express yourself completely in service to society. First, have a definite, clear, practical ideal -- a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends -- wisdom, money, material and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end."
~~ Aristotle

As a Holistic Life Coach I will help you see your whole life from an outside perspective so that you can become the Coach of your own life. Rather than being a “piece on the board” much like a game piece on a chessboard, you will become a “player of the game.”

When you are a piece on the board you are not able to grasp the whole concept, perspectives, and parameters of your life. Life in that situation is an existence with artificial boundaries, though seemingly real at the time. But as a player of the game, after you have gained through my Coaching you will discover how to live your life with integrity, wholeness, purpose, and meaning.

As your coach, I act as your consultant, guide, sounding board, teacher, collaborator and confidant. The bottom line is you now have an ally supporting you on your path.

I will motivate and encourage you to step out of your comfort zone of life, to think in more complete ways so you are able to integrate the fragments of your life to have a whole, full life and able to develop your unexpressed potential.

I will help you set compelling goals so that you are clear about the direction you are heading;

And provide the structure of support to help you stick to them, even when the going gets tough

The difference between people who achieve their goals and dreams and those who don't is first a vision and second implementation. Let me help you discover your vision, if you haven’t already done so.

In the introductory phase of coaching, we will uncover anything that is holding you back and either clear it or find a way to work around it to achieve your goals.

Most people have good intentions, but no plan, structure or support —a life coach can help you keep on track to fulfill your intentions. The key is taking consistent action that is in alignment with your life…and as a coach I can support to do that.

Background

I have been an active holistic life coach for the last twelve years.

Before that, I had been on a life-quest to find wholeness in my own life. And as I became more competent at understanding wholeness for myself, I realized that most everyone I knew was also seeking wholeness in his or her own life.

One overriding principle that life has taught me is that a fulfilling life is an integrated and balanced life. Sure, we can push our efforts in one area for a time, even years, to achieve some desired goal, but in the end after our goals have been achieved, we then yearn for a life that is balanced with work, play, social activities, study, relationships, and relaxation —the essentials of our well being.

Life Coaching has been a natural expression of Daniel Raphael in his life whenever anyone has asked questions about their own life, the goals they were striving to fulfill, and the plans they were making for their life. Since 1993, this has become an increasingly frequent part of my life.

Commitment to Holistic Life Coaching

I am committed to helping each client develop wholeness in their life, to discover and develop their latent potentials to become all and more than they had thought possible.

I am convinced that developing wholeness in our lives is much like a journey of discovery to satisfy, fulfill, and actualize all elements of our lives. If one aspect is not fulfilled, then succeeding areas of our life will not be able to develop and actualize fully. We will be stunted in our growth. Abraham Maslow described a hierarchy of needs that must be satisfied at the early levels in order that our higher levels of being become satisfied, culminating with actualizing our potentials as creators.
