A Message from DeLyn:

Hello, my name is DeLyn. I am a Personal Performance Coach based in Southwest Virginia, heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Throughout most of my life coaching has been something I've always done in one form or another. I have worked with people from all walks of life, which has given me an incredible pool of experience to draw from.

Over the years my training and background have led me to realize that effective coaching must take into account the whole person, not just focusing on a few isolated behaviors that produce self destructive or unwanted results. My approach provides a holistic and effective way to help clients understand themselves better, to sort out what’s holding them back, identify ways to move forward with clarity and confidence, and remove any real or perceived barriers to their success.

Coaching is highly effective for individuals facing difficult and/or emotionally charged situations such as those involved in legal litigation. My personal experience is documented at http://www.goodwriters.net/veterans1.html and although I did not have a Coach to work with me in preparing for what was to come, I firmly believe it would have made a significant difference.


DeLyn’s Bio

My bio page is going to be somewhat brief because coaching is not about me, it’s about you. Who you are, what you want / need, and how you can attain it. Coaching is about YOU, not me. However I realize you may want to know a little about your Coach so here is a very general snap shot.

I received my Doctorate in Naturopathy in 1996 and I am a Certified Traditional Naturopath. I maintain my board certification with the ANMCAB. In 2004, I began a formalized program for Personal Coaching certification with the International Coach Academy and maintain my membership with the International Coach Federation. My coaching practice is built upon the Code of Ethics established by the ICF.

I have worked in the field of human resources since 1997 honing my coaching skills in both retail and manufacturing environments. A few highlights during my career have included serving as a Board Member for a small private college and TAP’s Center for Employment Training. I also volunteer as a Critical Incident Stress Management Team Debriefer. Enough about me now….. If you are ready to push past the blocks that prevent you from reaching your goals and are up for the challenge then let’s get started!

"Each indecision brings its own delays and days are lost lamenting over lost days... What you can do or think you can do, begin it. For boldness has magic, power and genius in it."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1749-1832
