Individual Coaching

MEN, we all know the struggle of losing our fire. This can mean a few things with many causes.

But one thing’s for certain: we all know it when we’re experiencing that diminished flame.

And us men in the 2nd half of life (roughly age 40 and above) face unique challenges, quite different than the ones we faced in the 1st half.

On top of that, it’s not unusual for there to be a “wave pattern” for us 2nd-halfers, where these challenges emerge-resolve-reemerge, throughout the 2nd half.

Do You Feel STUCK?

 The PROBLEM: You’ve been feeling a DECREASE in:

  • Energy
  • Clarity of Direction
  • Effectiveness
  • Purpose
  • Motivation
  • Focus

Which has led to an INCREASE in:

  • Malaise
  • Anxiety
  • Boredom
  • Confusion
  • Disconnection From Priorities
  • Isolation

The SOLUTION: I offer individual coaching as my most personal, customized option. It’s only you and I working together 1:1.  

This is my premier solution if you’re looking for a way to create a life that flourishes, building:

  • ENERGY that is vibrant and renewable
  • DIRECTION that is clear and purposeful
  • PERFORMANCE that is strong and impactful

The RESULT: A successful coaching venture can lead to increased: 

  • Vitality
  • Clarity
  • Inner strength
  • Resilience
  • Rootedness and stability
  • Performance
  • Momentum
  • Calmness
  • Impact in your world

The "Ripple Effect"

There is a NEGATIVE ripple effect that our problems produce, and a POSITIVE ripple effect that good solutions produce.

Think MOMENTUM. Let’s take a quick look.

When a combination of the problems I listed above build negative momentum, we begin seeing negative effects in our:

  • Marriages
  • Families
  • Physical health, strength, and vitality
  • Mental health–eg, anxiety, depression
  • Job performance
  • Financial health
  • etc etc etc
. . . which then can ripple into even deeper problems. You know how this works, from your own life experience.

Likewise, when we take action, get unstuck, and begin moving things in the right direction, we start seeing a POSITIVE momentum in the areas I just mentioned.


COACHING has the potential to build this positive momentum as you pursue and achieve your meaningful goals.

What Is Coaching?

In my model, COACHING is a series of brief, powerful conversations, focused on taking bold action, for the purpose of achieving high-impact goals.

Of course, this implies you HAVE a high-impact goal. Do you?

A GOAL or TARGET that:

  • Is clear
  • Is specific
  • Is aligned with your priorities and values
  • Ignites enthusiasm
  • Will have an impactful result
The Cambridge dictionary definition of “impactful” is having a powerful, lasting, significant effect.

To take bold action towards THIS kind of goal. 

This is coaching with me.
 
And by the way, all men NEED to be actively pursuing a meaningful goal and purposeful direction. That’s how were WIRED.
 
When you DON’T have this, you’re DIMINISHED in some way, as a man.
 
You can decide what’s meaningful and purposeful to you. But you must figure it out.
 
And then, get on a structured path of actively pursuing those targets.
 
One final thought on goals–and this is based on research: it’s NOT the achievement of goals that men need (oh sure, we obviously want to achieve them!), but simply the active PURSUIT of purposeful goals–THIS is what lights up a man.

Men

My focus is working with men. And while the pursuit and achievement of high-impact goals is the essence of my coaching, I also like men to consider who they are as men, and who they are supposed to be, as men.

In my view, us men need to always be growing into Men of Excellence, displaying strength of:

  • character
  • courage
  • conviction

While coaching is not counseling/therapy, there is still room to consider these things here, and even turn them into goals.

You play a crucial role in your family, and in society at large, doing your part to stand for all that is good, true, and beautiful, while at the same time restraining evil.

Here are a few points to consider: My challenge to men.

Benefits of Coaching

What are some of the potential benefits of individual coaching?

Well, to a fairly large degree this depends of what you believe is POSSIBLE.

It’s not “hocus pocus,” but it’s the way the brain, the will, and goal achievement works.

If you take your “foot off the brake,” not self-sabotage, and are diligent in BOLDLY pursuing purposeful goals, THEN what becomes possible is: 

  • Fully engaging in a daily life guided by what you value most
  • Reconnecting with your priorities
  • Living a life guided by what’s important, not just what’s urgent
  • Clearly defining your purpose or your mission–your “WHY”
  • Getting UNstuck
  • Moving towards your big goals
  • Skillfully navigating complicated transitions
  • Visioning your “impossible” future
  • Neutralizing internal barriers
  • Developing a courageous spirit
  • Building inner strength
  • Developing key performance strategies and tactics
  • Understanding, connecting to, and living out of your strengths rather than being stuck in your deficits
  • Creating true life balance
  • Deep understanding of crucial boundaries concepts 
  • Clarifying your key guiding principles for a life well-lived
  • Learning helpful mental maps that empower your effectiveness
. . . and as I mentioned above, that positive momentum will begin building in your life.
 
In other words, reigniting your fire so that your flame is strong and bright, living a fully engaged life of energy, purpose, and impact.
 
Is this what you want?

Who Am I?

My name is Sean Cox, from the great city of Chicago.  For the last 40 years I’ve been enjoying the privilege of partnering up with people to assist them in living lives of deep purpose, strong passion, and high performance.

This hasn’t simply been a “hobby”, side interest, or some mid-career transition.  This has always been THE sole focus in my professional life, though it’s also played a huge part in my personal life as well, all the way back to my teen age years.

High performance, personal growth, the healing path, and “decoding greatness” are topics that consume me and fill my brain, and are the things I constantly read about, ponder, and consult with clients on everyday.

I don’t pretend to know everything, but I have much experience with a wide diversity of clientele, who I’ve been very honored to work with and learn from.  

I’ve learned many things along the way, and testing and re-testing different frameworks and protocols, and developing my own best practices and methodology that you can’t figure out simply by reading a book or two – it takes field testing, practice, repetition, experience, and a lot of work over many years.

I get jazzed helping people succeed, and if you’re a good fit for 1:1 coaching with me, I’d welcome the opportunity to partner up with you.

My Ideal Coaching Client

Who do I work with?  Your profession and “station in life” are irrelevant to me.  I’m more interested in certain qualities that my ideal client possesses.

Here are some of those qualities:

  • Is a man in the 2nd half of life (roughly 40 and above)
  • Is motivated to reach his goals
  • Has a growth mindset and is willing to stretch himself
  • Is willing to take action
  • Comes to sessions prepared
  • Takes 100% ownership and responsibility for his life
  • Is willing to practice courage everyday
  • Is willing to stretch himself
  • Is willing to take smart risks
  • Is open to new ideas and ways of doing things
  • Is curious
  • Is open to feedback
  • Places high value on living a balanced life
