Jill is a successful thirty-six year old attorney, who has the distinct honor of becoming one of the youngest women in her firm to become partner. She came to coaching, stating that her social life was non-existent. Assertive in most aspects of her professional life, Jill had to undo some major misconceptions about her personal life. During the coaching, she discovered that her sense of humor is quite engaging. She was able to show this asset to great advantage as she took steps to approach her dating life with a renewed vitality, creatively learning new ways to meet men. Most interestingly, she reported that in the office, colleagues were relating to her with a new, appreciative respect. Needless to say, the coaching work evolved into a focus on how to balance a very active social life with the demands of her work calendar.

Mike is a twenty-seven year old accountant who came to coaching after yet another break-up. Blaming his girlfriend for lying to him and cheating behind his back, he was too angry to evaluate his situation objectively. He enrolled in a singles' coaching group and discovered, that from the outset, there had been warning signs that this young woman was not to be trusted. The group offered him valuable feedback about clearly defining the qualities he was looking for in a girlfriend and not to rush into a relationship prematurely. Although he has not yet found his "soul mate," Mike jokingly says he is patient because he will not compromise on the personal qualities that are important to him.

Gail is a woman in her fifties who had been very discouraged by the poor response she was getting from her computer dating efforts. She came to coaching on the recommendation of a friend but was doubtful that her situation would improve. Individual coaching helped her clarify the important qualities that she would not compromise on in a partner (i.e. personal integrity, kindness, sense of humor) and to recognize that there were some qualities that might not be as important, after all (i.e. height, income). With this new self-awareness, she re-wrote a compelling profile that drew attention from the kinds of men she had been eager to meet all along. Not one to trust friends to give her advice that she could count on, coaching provided a safe environment where she could candidly look at sensitive issues. She is now dating a man she is crazy about and reports that she never dreamed she could have so much in common with another person!
