A personal look at Barbara A. Kee

Within each person are the seeds of knowledge, potential, and talents that can help them to fulfill their life purposes and goals. My ability to see the potential for greatness in each of my clients liberates them to reach for the heights of their dreams and desires.

My life has provided me with a wealth of interesting experiences. My career has taken several major turns, each providing more opportunity to experience working in varied settings ranging from small business owner, to manager, to teaching, to consulting, to therapy, and to coaching. The one constant theme has been my interest in people. Perhaps that is because I grew up in a large and active family. I have always had a natural “people” curiosity.

I love a wide variety of music style ranging from jazz, classical, and bluegrass, to gospel. One of my favorite things to do is sing. I also enjoy travel and experiencing different cultures. In my spare time, I enjoy having friends over for a good meal and lively conversation.

Learning has been a lifelong hobby. Reading expands and deepens my many interests which cover a wide range of topics from cooking to the question of "how big the universe is". My education includes degrees from Harding University, Syracuse University, Northeast Louisiana University, and Texas Woman's University. Like I said, learning is a hobby!

My unique approach to coaching
One primary asset I bring to coaching is the ability to listen; a skill that has been sharpened by 25 years experience in human resources and as a business management consultant. This has provided the opportunity to be closely involved with a wide variety of people in every imaginable situation. As a professional therapist, I have helped hundreds of people work through individual and family problems.

Within each person are the seeds of knowledge, potential, and talents that can help them to fulfill their life purposes and goals. My ability to see the potential for greatness in each of my clients liberates them to reach for the heights of their dreams and desires.

I started working at a young age. My first part time job, at age eleven, was helping a neighbor lady manage her garden. Although my main profession is not gardening, it is still my goal to nurture the seeds of potential greatness within those with whom I work.

How my coaching can help you
I believe in each person's right and ability to choose for themselves. People are quickly at ease with me and feel comfortable to open up and share their hopes and dreams. I have a multitude of tools that will help to refine and solidify a client's priorities and needs. From there, it is simply a matter of dividing the task into achievable smaller goals and defining steps that can move them forward.

How I got into coaching
As I presented seminars both domestically and abroad as a therapist in private practice, I realized that I was limiting myself . After I attended a workshop on coaching and I had an "Ah-Ha" experience I knew that coaching was what I had been looking for. It provided an exciting way to help people to reach their potential. What a liberating experience for me to find the work that I had been searching for!

Coaching can create AMAZING RESULTS for your life
Together we will become a “think tank” for the development of a life strategy to help you create the life you want. Taking your ideas, options and priorities and combining them with my ideas, education and experience will result in a mastermind experience. While the joyful anticipation of looking forward to the achievement of your goals is an important part of the coaching experience, it is also important to enjoy the "greatness" you have now.

Together we will look for ways to structure your life, to maximize accountability, and to keep you on track. This will provide the help you need for the follow through to achieving your hopes and dreams. The end result is freedom, confidence, a clear goal, and the means to achieve it.
