Directing Your Life
Coaching for Camp Directors, Owners, and other “Camp People”
Work-life balance in the camp world is as elusive as your camp ghost. Our ability to throw our whole selves into our job is what makes us great at what we do. In fact, most of us literally live at work. The all-encompassing nature of the career is what makes it one of the greatest jobs on earth—and also one of the most difficult.
What could your life be like if you directed it the same way you direct camp? If you had someone to support you to the way everyone else is supported by you? If you had the same clarity for your own vision as you do for your camp’s?
Coaching may be for you if you’ve ever wondered...
If I took camp out of my life, what would be left?
Am I running camp or is camp running me?
How will I ever retire?
Why am I feeling limited in my decisions?
How can my business partner aka my co-director aka my spouse and I get on the same page?
Who can I talk to about my life? Everyone I know is connected to camp.
What if my kids don’t want to take over camp someday? Or what if I don’t want them to?
Where did my passion go? I feel like I’m just in “get it done” mode.
I’ve been in your Chacos. I get it.
As a camp director of a camp I created, I know all too well what it’s like to eat, sleep, breathe, and live camp. Through those years, it took some real personal development to discover where my camp identity ended and I began. I also understand the importance of confidentiality, especially in a profession where rumors spread faster than bedbugs.
My approach as a coach.
My job is to create a safe space for you to explore new possibilities . Not unlike what I did as a camp director, actually. Each one-on-one session will be designed around your needs, with exercises that will help you explore who you are at the core and find solutions that move you toward where you want to be.
