Coming this April: a women's weekend retreat at the historic DeKoven Center in Racine.
Jeanette Stevenson, CPCC, PLC, CM
I have a passion to show others their true potential so they may lead the lives they are meant to live! My purpose in developing Point of You is to be able to work with others and empower them to use their strengths (some of which they are not aware of yet) to move toward action in their lives. The style of coaching I use is "co-active coaching", which means you come to coaching naturally resourceful, creative and whole. You are not coming to coaching to be fixed - but to begin to live by using the tools you already have within you.
As your coach we will form an alliance together as we begin to develop your goals and vision for success. We will identify the obstacles and begin to eliminate or find ways to work around them in order to bring you closer to your dream. I will encourage you along the way and keep you accountable for staying on track. I will also support you when you are struggling and remind you of your strengths and your desire to succeed.
I received my training at CTI (Coach Training Institute), and am continuing my growth and education at CTI to stay abreast of all that coaching can be. I champion others toward success, yet firmly hold them accountable so that they may move quickly to action. I have been coaching others most of my life, and also enjoy doing personal growth workshops.
FAQ about Coaching

How do I know if Life Coaching is for me?
Life coaching may be for you if any of the following statements apply to you:
I want to live a more balanced life.
I am in transition to another season of my life.
I want to live a more organized life.
I want to live a more intentional life.
I want to live a more fulfilling life that doesn't compromise my morals, values, and beliefs.
I want to achieve success but I can't figure out how to get there.
What is a sample session?
A sample session is a way for me to show you how the process of coaching works and what it looks like. It is also a way to see what Life Coaching can do for you.
How long does the coaching process take?
Once we have completed the sample session and decide to work together we will then:
- Schedule a discovery session --- A discovery session lasts about 2 hours. During this session I will get to know who you are, and discover how you are best motivated and supported. We will go over your goals and what it is you want to get from coaching. This session is a great way for me to see how best to serve you so that you will get the most from coaching.
- We will set up three 40 minute coaching sessions per month. In addition to the three sessions I will provide you with 10 minute power coaching calls when needed and I will be available through e-mail as well for additional questions you may have. I require a 3 month commitment to begin coaching.
- After three months we can evaluate where you are in relation to your goals and will proceed on a month to month basis from here.
- We can then check in on an as needed basis when events occur in your life.

Resisting A-Rest
As women it is hard for us to find a time or place to rest. When we do, it is usually accompanied by guilt. When all the others around us need something all time we tend to neglect our needs. I will share how we as women need to fill ourselves up in order to give to others. We will brainstorm as a group on ways to take care of us and stop resisting a rest! Wait until you see how easy it is to serve others when you have taken care of yourself.
