What does a life coach do?

As a life coach in NYC, you wouldn't imagine how many people ask me "What do you do??? How does it work??" So some explanation...

So let me explain what Julie Melillo Life Coaching is all about. Coaches all work a bit differently, but this is what's important to me:

1. You know more about yourself and your problem than I do (or than I ever could -- you've lived with it for WAY longer than I have).
2. You are smart/creative and full of strengths.
3. You are FULL of potential.
4. My goal is to unlock this awesome potential (so yes, you are basically your own treasure chest of potential).
4. Once we find "the key," we make sure you know how this process works, so that you can continue to do what works, for the rest of your life.
5. This process happens ASAP -- as fast as you are comfortable with.

Picture this:Weekly, we lounge at a swanky hotel lounge/favorite coffee place/ your conference room at work/your office/or perhaps you even want to wander your favorite park on a gorgeous sunny day. So, as we toast our coffees/bottled waters and discover your dreams (and challenges), we not only have a great time, but "oh look, we've just plotted your action plans for the next 30 days. And a few sessions later, you might just blurt out "your greatest passion or purpose in life. All those years of not knowing, and then bam, you've just discovered it! Knowing this, the doing is easy. And one day you wake up and are surprised to be living the life you know you've always dreamed of.

I've sat with CEOs, pro sports players, entrepreneurs, artists, actors/models, financial traders...and they've had goals like these "I want to make more money, I want to be financially secure so I can get married, I want to find out what my dream job is, I want to do my thing without my parents insisting I do the family business, I want to finally get a great job, to find the right person for me, to get out of debt, I want more friends in the city, I want to lose 10 pounds, I want to discover my purpose in life," "and perhaps there is a goal that you or someone you know has?

I don't give advice or tell you what you already know. Our work together allows YOU to change the impossible, to the possible. Fast results that last.

The impossible becomes possible. The frustrating and overwhelming becomes a small challenge, easily overcome during the following weeks. The vision takes shape, and the necessary actions become obvious.

And the process (while demanding), is also FUN for both of us.

Can you see the satisfaction as we enthusiastically work towards CREATING the life of your dreams, welcoming YOUR STRENGTHS, and using action-oriented weekly tasks you commit to (while being aware of how EVERY area of your life currently influences the rest). The satisfaction of the results you create, as improving one area immediately influences the rest of your life.

The end result (depending on how quickly you dive in -- you set the pace) is BIG improvements for your career/business, or dating/relationships -- ALL possible with a 7-week coaching package. Get for yourself, or give as a gift certificate for the holidays.

Get the 7-session (in-person) coaching package and save $300 off the regular in-person rate. This includes 2 FREE sessions, and unlimited coaching email responses during your almost 2 months of coaching!

When you get everything into balance, when you are working on every aspect of your life, it's as if you have a magic wand that enables you to get things done that other people cannot possibly get done. You can accomplish a lot more in much shorter periods of time.

Feel happier, right now!

The word "gratitude" is a bit syrupy and sugary, isn't it? Sort of like smiling for no reason, it can feel forced. Try this exercise as an alternative way to get a nice happy buzz of happiness: 1) What is something good you have in your life? 2) What if that good thing never happened? (Imagine that you missed out on meeting your significant other, or you didn't get into college, or you never got the job you have now, etc.) When I picture my life without say, having a house to grow up in, or without having my parents in my life, or without meeting my husband, or never having met great friends, or having things go down a horrible path, it makes me feel SAD initially, but then I'm overwhelmed with feeling GRATEFUL. Sometimes you don't realize what you have until you lose it -- how about you imagine losing it, so you can appreciate it, now. It's funny how you almost have to carve out a negative space in which to fill it with something positive. Letting sadnes

When you're dating...how to avoid sociopaths

To my daters... One in 25 people is a sociopath. So that charming person you're sitting across from at dinner? They may be missing an important part of their brain -- literally. Sociopaths lack a portion of their brain which is responsibly for producing feelings of guilt -- they are physically disabled , and this is not treatable. This enables them to do harm to others and feel no remorse. It all comes down to capabilities, ambition, and what the sociopath wants out of life -- some sociopaths might steal a friend's $20, or lie about something small, while others are CEOs who steal millions of people's money. One sociopath might delight in quietly bullying others at work, just to watch people become upset. While another sociopath may be violent and kill people or animals without a second thought. Scary. It's all shades of gray, but the central idea is that sociopaths don't feel remorse. They can kill your dog, or steal your spouse, or lie to your face -- and sleep s

Why is change so hard?

Why do we do the same routines for decades, all the while knowing they are not right for us? When we make a change, we bring up ancient, primal pain – the pain of life or death. The fear of losing our life. The pain of losing the little we have already gathered together in our worlds. This is like trying to take a bone from a dog – good luck. It makes sense. Think of a cave person. Would they shake up their routine just to see what happened? Probably not. Leaving the cave at a different time might mean getting eaten by a big animal -- better to stick with what you know! So when we are making changes, the same gut-level fears can arise. It’s enough to make you curl up in the fetal position and sob – which is why, for most of us, we avoid making big life changes. We avoid thinking about things too deeply and instead go along with the crowd and hope that in the end, it will somehow all make sense. But this is not the way that we become happy. To be happy requires asking questions –
