Professionally coaching for two years following a 20 year career in education, I specialize in transformational, voice dialogue and leadership coaching. As a coach, I am invested in partnering with clients, so they find clarity and serene confidence in whatever changes they seek to make in their life.
I believe my clients come to me whole, capable and resourceful, and with my bold curiosity and powerful questions, they develop insight and design action to maximize their potential. My approach is to empower you to build on your strengths and tap into your knowledge, wisdom and passion. I am an active member of the International Coach Federation (ICF) and serve as secretary of Puget Sound Coach Association, the Puget Sound ICF chapter.

Services
I begin with a free 30 minute no-obligation consultation. It is important to make sure I'm the right coach for you and this is the right time to make the commitment. This will maximize your success. Once you decide I am your coach, the next step is 2 hour meeting to discuss your goals and identify what you see as obstacles in your way.
Coaching establishes a partnership which brings synergy for growth and development not possible when you set a course alone. It is a place to uncover squashed dreams, discover your gifts and talents and explore beliefs and obstacles in the way of realizing your potential. The coach client partnership provides reliable support as you focus, prioritize, and act upon your goals.
What if you could live as your most authentic, creative, generous self even in the face of struggle? What if you could claim and celebrate your story and in the process, write a powerful new ending? Rising Strong is the process of learning how vulnerability, courage and empathy live in the messy middle of your story.
Back when I was living in Seattle, I did a series of 10 sessions with Jody to work on finding the obstacles that were getting in the way of my making some life changes that I had been trying unsuccessfully until then to make. Jody utilizes a great method for identifying the various aspects of ourselves that are standing as "limiters" in our minds and preventing us from moving through change.

Jody is everything you want in a coach, she is kind and patient. Jody asks questions that helped me undo decades of programming from my childhood. My dad was big and scary so I saw all men as big and scary, even my wonderful husband. I didn't want to treat him like he was a threat but I didn't know how to stop trying to protect myself; my responses were so automatic. Jody helped me create space, a micro second, around my fight or flight instinct which helped me undo all my programming that no longer served me. Since working with Jody I have doubled my income, my career is on fire, and

After a few life experiences dropped me into a depressed state, I knew I needed some way out or through but I wasn't sure how or where to begin. I began working with Jody, and immediately felt a kinship and connection and hope that she could help me out. She asks the hard questions. We opened some wounds. We revealed some weaknesses and blocks. And then we dug in deep, always looking forward, and put tools and strategies in place I could use to keep myself strong and confident. Jody was absolutely key in helping me through one of the toughest times of my life, and I will be eternally grateful

Jody is absolutely amazing. I did the 12 week program with her and I can honestly say I have become the person I always wished/never thought I could be. She is truly gifted in life coaching, she knows exactly what to ask you/teach you in order for you to depend on yourself, trust yourself, love yourself, and accomplish what you want in life. Her method is different that any other counselor/therapist. She teaches you that the answers you are looking for are within you, giving you tools to achieve what you REALLY want, and how to get there. Once the program is up you feel ready to take on the world

Jody is great! Intuitive, insightful and supportive. I feel lucky to have been able to work with her this past year. Life coaching is a very practical way to help yourself to move forward, get past blocks and gain perspective on you and your life choices - I was skeptical at first, but now totally convinced about the benefits. And, Jody does an incredible job of listening and guiding, and giving you the tools to make the progress that you decide you want to make.

Jody McCrain is a confident and professional Life Coach, who makes people feel comfortable right away. The thing that differentiates Jody in Life Coaching practice VS. counseling or psychiatry is that she is able to look "forward", rather than "backward" with people who are looking for ways to get unstuck in life, business, relationships, health, etc. Also, Jody has all the certifications and continuing education to be able to call herself a "Life Coach." Lastly, you can tell right away after meeting Jody that she thoroughly enjoys what she does and has a knack for

My first meeting with Jody was a free consultation really just to get to know her business and to make a professional contact for business referral. I had no intention of delving into coaching with her as I didn't feel I had anything needing 'coaching' in my life. Wow was I wrong. Jody is amazing at helping you define your life goals (which you think you have defined until you meet with her), and then highlighting the obstacles getting in the way of achieving them. She is great at helping you navigate your own thought processes to come to workable ideas/solutions that are not
