Transitions Coaching: Navigating Transitions, Embracing Change and (Re)Imagining Futures

We live in a world where change is rapid, complex, and sometimes unpredictable. Love it, hate it, feel ambivalent about it, change is inevitable and learning how to embrace it is a necessary life skill.

Begin Now

Consider the kinds of transitions you might be currently experiencing:

  • Work Transitions

    Loss of job, career change, promotion to leadership, embarking on entrepreneurship, retirement

  • Relationship Transitions

    Marriage, separation/divorce, birth, caring for aging parents, death/loss, empty nesting, coming out

  • Health Transitions

    Illness, disability, recovering from injury, aging

  • "Lifequakes"

    When a combination of significant transitions happens “all at once”

Embrace Change:

With every change, whether chosen or not, a coaching collaboration enables you to navigate the transitions with a greater sense of capacity and empowerment. I will support you to shift your mindset and ask yourself the critical questions to (re)imagine the future you want to create.

  • What kind of leader do you want to be?

  • What kind of relationships do you want to have?

  • What kind of life do you want to live?

  • What kind of future do you want to create?

How Can Coaching With Nicki Monahan Help?

My mission is to support you to navigate transitions, meet challenges with resilience, live authentically, and achieve greater personal happiness. Even changes that you choose yourself, like a new career, move, retirement, new relationship or identity, come with challenges to manage. Changes that are sudden, unexpected and imposed, especially when they come all at once, a “lifequake”, require even more support. Transitions coaching helps you acknowledge the range of feelings that can come with change: anxiety, fear, grief, loss, excitement, joy, and gratitude and move through them. In the process, you learn to adapt to and embrace the change, look for opportunities it provides, and navigate strategically to maximize the potential benefits of a new way of being or a new way of living. Transitions Coaching: navigating transitions, embracing change, and re-imagining futures; it’s what we’ll do together.

I've Been There

How Will Coaching Help Me?

My life path has included my share of obstacles and life-altering events. Career change, cross country moves, divorce, a serious cycling accident and, five years later, brain surgery.

Each life transition was an opportunity to rebuild and reset my compass. My road to recovery from brain surgery allowed me to reflect on life’s second chances, and grab hold of every precious minute of life. A meditation practice of over twenty years has been invaluable in recognizing that we can hold feelings, even unpleasant ones, and watch them pass, both staying present and moving forward.

I have intentionally made life-changing decisions. And I have both survived and thrived after experiences that I would never have chosen, one that literally and metaphorically knocked me off my feet. The wisdom that I have gained, and the expertise of using powerful mindsets, gives me confidence when I partner with transitions coaching clients to face the inevitable changes that life throws our way, navigate them skillfully, and reimagine a future life.

How Will Coaching Help Me?

  • The coaching process was a dance of the minds! Nicki helped me unpack, examine, shift, resurface and repack ideas and perceptions of events, while developing practical strategies to move forward.

  • As a coach, Nicki fosters a professional and supportive environment where I feel safe and valued. She has a remarkable ability to help me tap into motivation and inner strength I didn’t realize I possessed.

  • Nicki has helped me immeasurably. I began working with Nicki to help me understand how to make progress in my career. With her guidance, I’ve helped to make a significant and satisfying career leap - one I attribute to the skills and confidence building Nicki has helped me build and improve upon.
