She pushed me to use my own talents and creativity
I have now worked with her over a few years, around a number of new challenges. Although I’ve had a lot of physical challenges that have been hard, I’m doing so much better now. It will take time, but I’m determined. When you talk to me, Iris, you remind me of all the things you’ve already taught me about myself. Thank you for always taking the time to bring me back to the present and beyond.
I would suggest your contacting Iris and hiring her as soon as possible.

Top Qualities for Iris: Good Value, High Integrity, Creative
In working with her several times over a couple of years, I gained crucial insight on nagging problems, with a clear way forward on very hard decisions..And some of the anticipatory grief about a loss I was resisting was much relieved.
I highly recommend Iris Arenson-Fuller as the coach to hire when you need work through a difficult transition. You couldn't be in better, more expert hands to help you uncover new possibilities, design your best options, and be nurtured by an encouraging belief in your ability to make the big changes you need for the second chances you want.

My Creativity Was Reawakened Through Working With Coach Iris

Iris came into my life at a very critical turn.
Iris put a lot of effort into getting to know me. She is generous with her time and talents. Iris listened carefully and shared tools and ideas that were tailored to my specific needs. I knew within the first two sessions that I was on the right track and with the right life coach.
I’m not where I want to be yet, but I am definitely on the right track. Iris breathes life back into flagging hopes and dreams. I feel courageous again for the first time in a long while. I have gone back to college, have exciting new ideas about starting a business, and even applied for and got a grant for school.

I have been dissatisfied with my life and career
Iris has really pushed me and challenged me to remember who I used to be-- what my passions and interests were. We are working on setting new goals together and I have a new enthusiasm for living. I almost don't recognize myself. I am beginning to look forward to whatever comes next and to view it all as an adventure. I know I have a way to go before I am certain but I have my old joie de vivre back thanks to Iris."
Iris is always warm and supportive, though she knows how to be tough when someone needs it! She has been through a lot in her own life and it truly helps her to understand many different experiences and perspectives.

Iris coached me during one of the most difficult periods of my adult life
Iris has remarkable recall and there is no need to "start from the beginning" for every session. Iris prepares meticulously.
She is able to avoid creating an unhealthy relationship of dependence. Her suggestions and assignments make a coaching session a shared venture, a balanced relationship. Iris is able to identify a client's strengths and weaknesses and use her insight to steer a client in a healthy direction.

I feel a lot better about where my life is going.
recent work together.
I found that I needed to be pushed to do something about achieving some
goals. Since I started with her, I have been eating better (mostly), I've
lost 7 pounds, and I'm forcing myself to find time to edit my book. She
has been very effective in getting me to not only articulate my goals, but
do something about achieving them. As an external forcing function, she
has been effective in my getting my life as a widower back in focus; there
were things I wanted to accomplish, but I didn't even know how to express
them until she, over several sessions, got me to figure out which things I
was working on were important, and which ones were merely time sinks which
did not move me closer to my goals.
I have been very pleased with what we have accomplished, and would
recommend her to others in my condition. I feel a lot better about where
my life is going.

I have not been utilizing coaching for a very long time
I have not been disappointed. Coach Iris has given me support that has helped me maintain some sense of balance while I have been transitioning. Coach Iris has gone above and beyond and I get a feeling of compassion from her coaching style. I have never been made to feel like I am just a client. I always get a feeling of someone with genuine concern and that her clients reaching their goals is as important to her as it is to the clients. Coach Iris, is honest, and will let you know that you have do the leg work for yourself, but offer suggestions, questions, and guidance along the way.

Coaching With Iris Is A Serious Undertaking
After our chatty and enjoyable introductory session, I nearly hired another coach who discomforted me with her mysterious silence, her succinct comments, and her care to end on time. In contrast, Iris seemed like an old friend, who listened and also had a lot to say and who was generous with her time. I worried I might fail to communicate my true thoughts about myself to Iris because she wouldn't require it.
Then I asked myself who I would rather spend my time with and it was Iris. Once we started, I realized that I felt comfortable speaking up because of Iris's warmth and compassion and her unhurried style. I noted that, unlike a chatty pal, Iris asks difficult, pointed questions and waits patiently for answers, which trigger more difficult, pointed questions. Coaching with Iris is a serious undertaking, and it involves work.
My work with Iris included talking, writing (making lists, writing "essays"): and doing other assignments and exercises. Very early, we identified some ways to progress toward my goals and broke these into small steps. Each week I would take a small step or two and then report back to Iris. This close work provided the support and accountability that I needed to become clear about what I want and how to get there.
My work is far from done, yet I am definitely on my way. I plan to keep taking these steps and tracking my own progress. Additionally, I will meet with Iris (less frequently) as I continue to do this work, because I know that the support and the accountability that she provides will keep me on track.
