Empower Your Path.
Your Goals, Your Journey.
About Me
I’m Nicole Belanus, a granola eating, mountain hiking, music making lover of the outdoors, good humor, and deep conversations. I’m also someone who’s navigated lots of changes and career pivots. I have over twenty years in non-profit organizations and understand the burnout, frustration, and financial concerns that can come with that type of work. I’ve also branched out on my own in my music career as a performing songwriter and understand the ups and downs of the creative lifestyle.
I love outdoor activities like hiking, running, kayaking, swimming, climbing trees, and even a little bird watching on occasion. Nature is a source of great power and renewal for me. I am a proud cat mom and love my little Sprinkle fiercely. If you know, you know.
I’ve been a professional Ombuds and advocate for underserved populations and have professional experience in mediation and conflict resolution. I have an educational background in Sociology and Industrial/Organizational Psychology which provides me with greater understanding and awareness of building stronger relationships and navigating career and work life challenges at both the individual and organizational levels.
I’m also a human living along with you during challenging times. I’ve witnessed first-hand the power of human kindness and generosity and have been reminded over and over again of the power of the human spirit to overcome even the darkest of days with the power of community. As your coach, I want to empower you and remind you that you are not alone. You are not alone in your struggles, in your frustrations, or in your lack of motivation. I would be honored to work with you towards envisioning a better tomorrow and to help you build on your strengths as you navigate your life decisions and plan for your future. You’ve got this!
My Coaching Approach
I offer life coaching services from a kind and understanding perspective. I’ve made many career pivots, lived through several physical moves and life “do-overs”, and struggled with my own feelings of self-doubt, confusion, and unhappiness. I get it. Life can be hard and confusing, and we don’t always have the energy or motivation to help ourselves out of a rut. Coaching is a safe, judgement-free approach to help you navigate the many ups and downs of life. My approach and perspective can help you if you’re feeling stuck, unmotivated, uncertain of your next steps or path, unhappy or unfulfilled in your career, overwhelmed by home clutter or disorganization, or if you’re feeling like you’re in a rut in your creative endeavors. Together we will explore new perspectives and options, identify any roadblocks or obstacles, talk through goal setting and habit formation, track your progress, and do some reflecting as you deepen your self-awareness.
I am passionate about helping others by offering deep, reflective listening, a non-judgmental perspective, and clear-eyed, kind-hearted questions and dialogue. As your coach, my goal is to help you develop a deeper awareness of yourself, identify your own goals and path, and cheer you on as you pursue your passions and dreams. You deserve every kindness and happiness, and I am here to help listen and reflect on who you are and to cheer you on towards your own best version of yourself!
