POTENTIAL: the inherent ability or capacity for growth, development or ‘coming into being.’

From the Latin potential – power.

Like the seed of a towering redwood or an ancient oak, every human system – individual, relationship, family, group, team, organization – has potential.  Every human entity holds within itself the power it needs to grow, to change and to move towards what it is destined to be.  From the moment we are born, get married, or start a family, career or business it seems that there is some mysterious, powerful force working behind the scenes to move us toward growth, complexity, fecundity (fruitfulness) and the attainment of a compelling vision of the future.

Sometimes we recognize this force and sense its power, other times we ignore it out of fear, still other times we are so busy simply getting through the day that we have neither the time nor energy to acknowledge its existence.  At times it seems as though, even if we would wish things were different, the conditions and timing are just not right to consider the future, connect with our dreams, and gather the resources we need to move in a new direction.  In addition, many of us have been conditioned to see change – any change - as hard, risky, and fraught with danger.  Despite our best wishes, many of us determine that it is better to play it safe, not rock the boat, settle for what is, and let go of our dreams of a better future.

But for others, those who refuse to give up on what they know in their hearts to be true, this is not an option.  They have decided that life, however short and confounding it can be, is worth living and worth living well.  They find the time and energy to take stock of their life, their marriage, their family, their career, or their business, they connect with where they’ve come from, they consider where they’re going, and they tap into their God-given ability to lead those they care about to a preferred future, wherever that future calls them.  They do all of this from a foundation of love, love for themselves, love for others, and love for a God who made them and calls them to a life lived with courage and conviction.

As a therapist, coach, consultant and teacher my greatest joy is in working with people on a growthful path in their lives, marriages, families, careers and businesses.  It is my honor to come beside my clients and students to facilitate the kind of lasting change that leads to greater fulfillment and satisfaction in work and life.  Whether it’s working with a young man trying to find himself, a student making their way through a demanding curriculum, a couple worn out by ceaseless fighting, a family struggling to cope with the ravages of alcoholism, an executive facing burnout and overwork, or a business leader struggling to reinvigorate a company that has lost its way, I have found my calling in helping those ready to face the challenge of change, learning and growth.

If you are looking for a competent, compassionate therapist, coach, or consultant with a Christian perspective on life, living, learning and work, give me a call.  I would greatly appreciate the chance to speak with you, hear your story, and discuss exactly how I may be of help.

Blessings,
Charlie
