Phillis Benson Power Within Coach | Life Strategist

How long have you been doing what you do and how did you get to be the Power Within Coach aka Life Strategist?

I’ve been a (quasi) entrepreneur since the summer of 1997, working out of the house providing virtual assistance to small businesses and [back then] learning all about the ‘NEW’ online business world.  I then went back to University and obtained a degree in Business with emphasis on Human Resource Management and Sociology.

Soon after that my marriage came to an end and I found myself in the market for the ‘day job’ . . . so that began my career in HR and Marketing.  Years past and that nagging voice – the one that you hear when you are feeling unsatisfied with something in your life – either large or small – but something none the less – got louder and louder - I needed to TAKE ACTION!

Over the next several years I consumed myself with everything about Personal Development | Life Coaching | Coaching Certification Program.  I studied courses and programs, attended seminars, participated in private Mastermind meetings with some of the best and brightest in the business.  I learned some amazing techniques and strategies – made a lot of new friends and connections in the ‘business’.

But, I noticed something was still missing.  The coaching programs didn’t teach me the business of being in the ‘coaching – personal development business’ – even with a background in business and a total immersion with all things online – it finally dawned on me that I needed to learn more . . .  so, I went ahead and took two more courses (and countless virtual how to courses), one being a certification as an Online Business Manager and the other as a Certified Visual | Graphic SHIFT-IT Coach.

As I started to work with clients as an Online Business Manager – creating visions and businesses for my clients and really finding that; while I am really good at helping them grow their businesses and being the ‘doer’ MY personal Brilliance came through when I would revert to the ‘role’ as a Coach and moving them forward through strategy coaching sessions!

Can you imagine my BIG Ah-Ha moment when I said out loud — Man, I really love being an OMB – BUT I love being a Coach even more . . .  it felt so powerful and more authentic than anything else that I’ve been doing for a long time!

So, I  revamped my Power Within Coaching practice – launched ‘The 5 Steps to Freedom’ 6 Week Coaching TeleCourse and totally redesigned my Coaching Services and Programs to include my Visual | Graphic SHIFT-IT Coaching Program - providing high content, high value, high energy Coaching [one-on-one, group, self-study and virtual programs]!

My Mission is to . . .

‘To help my clients identify, gain clarity & focus around their life purpose [dreams & desires]. 

To help them get from a place of being stuck to a place of thriving . . . [personally, professionally, physically] .

To help them Rediscover their Power Within and create an action plan which allows them to move into Their True & Authentic Self.”

‘To help others [you] get from where you are today [being stuck] to where they [you] desire to be in their [your] life – to help them [you] thrive – to help them [you] Rediscover Their [Your] Power Within.’

Who are your clients?

I work with busy professionals, stay at home parents, life coaches and entrepreneurs [want to be entrepreneurs] who want to stay focused and on target to their goals while staying sane and balanced.

• They struggle with the same things that I had in the past [and I would imagine you have too] – that nagging voice; though I am not sad – I am not really happy or satisfied with where or perhaps who I am right here and now.
• They are struggling with the ‘how to’ as in  how do they figure out what is going (in their lives) and with the ‘how to’ make positive authentic changes in their lives.

What happens if you haven’t yet worked with someone with my specific coaching needs?

I have worked with plenty of clients in a wide scope of personal growth needs, from business strategies to interpersonal and relationship issues.  Most likely I have worked with someone who has had the same need & desired outcome as you have.

Yet, I have to share with you that if I haven’t, you are not at a disadvantage, quite to the contrary.  Here’s why: I have a huge network of coaching and business partners – If at anytime I feel that I am not the right person | coach for you I would be more than happy to refer you to one of many other coaches that I know.

How are you different from other “Life | Personal Development Coaches | Strategist?”

I ONLY work with people who are a great fit for my practice and I am a great fit for their needs.  In other words, I don’t coach  people just to have a full practice or those who need to have professional counseling -  I’m not a Jack-of-all-trades-coach. I refer those people to other coaches.  What that means to you is that I am very focused on anything and everything that is in alignment to who I am and to my client (and I throw in a healthy dose of compassion, humor and encouragement, which ALWAYS helps!).

Best of all – I am very practical and easy to work with.  I’m known for over-delivering with my clients and giving them EVERYTHING that I have and much more.  I show you step-by-step how to do something so it’s easy to put into place and doesn’t require a technical background or “techy” skill set to implement what we cover and quickly put it into action so you can see immediate results.

What exactly is Visual Graphic SHIFT-IT  and Power Within Coaching?

Power Within & SHIFT-IT [using Visual Maps] is an intensive thinking experience … a place for you to step back from your day-to-day activities and ponder the larger picture of your life. It is a highly reflective and personal experience.

I have clients that *LOVE* the Visual Maps in the Coaching and others that resonate to the Power Within – receiving a recording of each session via MP3 recordings – the choice is yours!

You can read more about my Coaching and Programs by clicking here.

Does this really work? And what results can I expect?

Yes! The results?

• You’ll gain renewed clarity, focus and momentum for the things that are most important to you – both professionally and personally.
• You figure out what it is that you really want.
• You work through your resistance to having it.
• And move forward with consistent action and belief.
• The things you want are magnetized to you in record time.

How quickly can I expect results?

Obviously, this depends on how long you’ve been in working through the program on and how much time and energy is put into the assignments that I give you.  That said, virtually all clients see results within the first 30 – 60 days -  from a change in attitude (self and others), work environment, opportunities showing up at the right time, BIG Ah-Ha Moments, clarity in a dream or vision for the future, just to mention a few.

Typically, I encourage people to invest in a 90 Day Program, either one-on-one | VIP Intense Days | group courses or a program specifically designed with your needs in mind.

Can I contact some of your former clients to see what it’s like to work with you?

Yes, I encourage you to!  Please go to the RAVE page and read all of them.  See which ones you feel drawn to, either because the person has gotten the results you want to get too, or perhaps because that person is in a similar life circumstance.  Then feel free to email ask what they got from working with me.  I do ask that you respect their privacy and please do not inundate any of them with emails.

What type of person won’t benefit from your coaching?

Please know I’m very selective in who I coach, choosing to (gently) turn away people who aren’t suited for my programs and won’t get the results for which they would have signed up for.

If they are resistant to doing the ‘work’, committing to spending a minimum of 90 days to create a new mind-set,  accepting change,  etc. (It wouldn’t be fair to them.)

Alrighty — I’m Ready to take control and Rediscover MY Power Within – How do I get started?

Great! Did you know that one of the most prominent characteristics of successful people is that they take action?  They take educated risks, are decisive, take action, and they move forward towards success faster as a direct result of this.  It’s a well-known fact these people make decisions based on their gut instinct. So, that being said, since this feels right for you, then go for it.

Remember – just click on my scheduling calendar and let’s do a 20 minute Self Discovery Session [my treat - free session.]  If you have any questions, contact us at info@PowerWithinCoach.com and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.  I can’t wait to talk to you and get you started!
