Life Coaching

"Among human beings, creativity is a natural, and not an exceptional, trait.
Birds fly, fish swim, humans create."
LAURENCE BOLDT

If you have heard of "The Secret", The Creative Empowerment Program* works with these principles, teaching you the Manifestation Formula, a step-by-step process for translating thoughts into actions, ideas into results, dreams into realities. It is a systematic approach to discovering and actualizing the important visions of your life. In it you'll learn how to take charge of and maximize your creative potential in bringing about the results you seek, and how to apply the laws of attraction to make things happen more quickly!

Career Assessments

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Personality Type Assessment: Identifying your personality type can be an important step in understanding yourself better. Knowing and understanding about your type can help you more effectively work with yourself to build the life and career that you desire. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Instrument is the most widely used personality inventory in the world. It is not a knowledge-based test; rather it is a preference indicator that is used to promote and enhance personal and professional growth in many areas, including personal and career development. This service is offered by Tina Boldt, certified Global Career Development Facilitator and Career Transition Coach.
