Using Creativity to Launch Life Changes
Coaching Philosophy & Services
My approach as a coach engages the inner resources of clients, including often neglected ingenuity and creativity, to surface new self-understanding and to identify attainable goals. It is the dynamic of honest exchange and supportive interaction that makes coaching an effective method for achieving positive change.

Retirement + Life Transition Enrichment
For many individuals retiring today, you may easily have decades of healthy, productive years to live. This change offers a chance to pursue interests and activities never before available. Other life transitions such as going from work to at-home parenting. or moving to a new location can trigger a sense of disorientation and loss of personal satisfaction.

Personal Creativity Enhancement
Because creative endeavors, not necessarily as a self-identified ‘artist,’ have always been such a fulfilling part of my own life, I enjoy working with both professional self-identified artists to achieve their goals and with the rest of us who find pleasure and connection from creative self-expression in its many forms.

“Hi, I’m Shela Turpin-Forster and if you find yourself on these pages, you've probably already been thinking about making a change or improving your sense of satisfaction in personal, professional or leisure activities. I’ve had the pleasure in recent years of working with many interesting people to help them find paths that led to greater life satisfaction. I love coaching and the opportunity to recognize and cultivate the potential in clients although it took me three careers, two graduate degrees, and some self-doubt at times to arrive here. I’d welcome the opportunity to help you smooth out the steps in your dance of life or perhaps even find better music to dance to.

“There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.”
“We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”
“It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts."
