More About WellLIFECoach

A WellLIFECoach can best be described as a SAGE or Mentor - A Sage (Sāj) n. is a person who is respected for his/her experience, judgment, and wisdom – a Mentor. The term Sage is taken from the word Message, translated from the Greek word Presbeiva (pres-bi'-ah) which means ^1. age, dignity 
^2. the business normally entrusted to elders.

The acronym S.A.G.E. is descriptive of the four stages of the WellLIFECoach relationship: 

Surrendering - The act of giving back to someone.  A leveling of the learning field by sharing “whole-person wellness” life experiences and acquired knowledge, and teaching others.  The WellLIFECoach client benefits by the created “partnership” relationship - A WellLIFECoach mentor helps others to succeed with their individual and unique physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health challenges. 

Accepting – To take on the duties and responsibilities of helping others.  Your WellLIFECoach mentor creates a sense of assurance by showing interest, providing encouragement, giving unconditional positive respect, by listening and supporting you with prayer.  Your WellLIFECoach mentor asks questions and shows a genuine interest in your whole-person wellness - responding in confidence and impartiality.  

Gifting – This is where the teaching and coaching occurs – Your personal WellLIFECoach provides real-life, time-tested, evidence-based, research-proven & biblically-sound feedback and answers to the questions and needs of the client, providing appropriate solutions and resources to assist in a successful outcome to the clients individual wellness situations.  The focus is on helping the client apply timely advice and succeed with their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual challenges. 

Extending – WellLIFECoach provides advise and resources that will extend the learning beyond the coaching relationship, providing other linkages that further the client’s state of optimal wellness and helps them network and connect with other Christian mentors and healthy resources. 

Your WellLIFECoach may interact and consult, on your behalf, with other WellLIFECoach's in our network (counsel of WellLIFECoach's), to provide you with relevant, timely and appropriate solutions to your questions and needs.  This part of "extending" in the whole-person wellness coaching relationship, provides the client with the benefit of many coaches/counselors through their personal WellLIFECoach.  "Without good direction, people lose their way; the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances." (Proverbs 11:14 - Message)
