Working with a coach is like having someone who is on your side that is ALL IN on helping you reach your personal and business goals. A coach is someone who holds you accountable to your highest potential, believes in your vision 100%, and possesses the training and the resources to help you get there. If you want someone to provide you both encouragement and (if needed) tough love, to uplevel and create a big shift in your life. Oftentimes, we don’t see ourselves clearly, and carving out intentional time, investment, and focus in our growth by partnering with a coach helps us achieve our goals faster. Our Wider Visions coaches are trained to help you realize your fullest potential.

Coaching, therapy, and mentorship are all important avenues for growth and healing, but very different in their approach and focus.
Coaching is future-oriented with a focus on partnering together to achieve a particular goal or shift that you’d like to create in your life. Coaching operates under the belief that you are fully capable of accomplishing anything you envision and that all of the answers are within you. Coaching touches on your past, but always through the lens of how it is impacting you today and where you’d like to go.
Coaching is not a replacement for therapy, and our group coaching sessions will not be a diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders. Therapy focuses on the past to understand the present. Therapy is a powerful way to work through past traumas or to treat mental disorders.
Mentorship or consultant is an approach where the mentor shares wisdom gained from their past experience to provide insight to your situation. They make recommendations based on their experience. With coaching, you are empowered and responsible for your life choices, and instead of giving you a checklist of what worked for someone else, coaching asks insightful questions to help provoke self awareness and self discovery. You become your own guide.

Our philosophy is that all outer success and manifestation is first an inside job. So, in our approach, we will explore your inner beliefs and emotions that might be impacting your ability to achieve your goals. So, if you are willing to get curious about yourself and spend time making transformations inside, then, our approach is perfect for you.
Our approach to growth is integrated. Oftentimes, we put our lives into boxes - thinking that our career, our emotional well-being, and our relationships are separate and don’t impact one another. But, that’s not the truth. Our lives are integrated, and any uplevel in one area of your life will positively impact another area.

If you are looking to make a shift in your life from the inside out or expand on your personal growth, Wider Visions is a good option for you.
If you are experiencing lots of unprocessed trauma, and mental health issues that are impacting your day to day life, therapy might be the best option for you. Wider Visions is a great way to build upon the awareness gained in therapy or work alongside therapy.

We agreed with Oprah that the best gift you can give yourself is time - time to connect within, for self discovery and more self love. We believe you deserve it, and the only way to create a vision that aligns with all of you is making time to connect with ourselves.
With that said, we also believe in the power of small actions compound into big wins. And setting aside intentional time everyday or every week - even if it’s just 15 minutes - can make a huge difference if you stick with it.
Wider Visions was designed as an all-in-one personal growth platform to give you everything you need for your expansion. You can choose to go at your own pace or dive right into the deep end. A big pillar of ours is self trust and sovereignty, so while we provide you guidance, knowledge and support, you get to make the call on what’s right for you and what timing feels good.
