Life Coaching Services

Because of the intensely personal nature of our estate planning process, from time to time we became aware of our clients' dreams and ambitions. Over the years, we recognized the need to provide services to our clients over and above any legal documents and planning we might prepare.

Believing strongly in the satisfaction that comes from realizing one’s vision, Mr. Chasen initially received training as a life coach in a Thinking Environment. The premise of the Thinking Environment is that each of us knows best the answers to the questions that we have, and that what will facilitate us coming to those answers is respectful attention. His training in this area was with Nancy Kline, who created the dynamic and powerful structure of the Thinking Environment. Her work is detailed in her book Time to Think.

Interested and inspired by the possibilities that life coaching offers, Mr. Chasen continued his training in the coaching profession by getting certified as an executive and life coach by the College of Executive Coaching, and subsequently being credentialed by the International Coach Federation as an Associate Certified Coach ("ACC").

Using his training in this field, we help our clients focus on their dreams and aspirations, identify their strengths, motivators, and presonality characteristics, and then harness it all towards overcoming any identified obstacles and realizing the stated objectives. Limitations are replaced with liberating assumptions and premises. Finally, we work with our clients to create a strategic plan for the realization of those dreams and visions, and support them in implementing the plan.

We do not purport to know what’s best for our clients, or to have the answers to their questions or challenges. Instead, our training and process is to create an environment in which our clients can best answer their own questions, and empower them to do so.
