Claudette Chenevert

"Getting What You Really Want Through Visualization And Goal Setting"

Presenter: Claudette Chenevert, Life Coach, Coaching Steps LLC 703-915-2470

Ever wonder how the most successful people seem to achieve everything they set their minds to? Appearing to always be doing what it is they love and enjoy?

The majority of people who have achieved a high level of success in their life developed their success through utilizing the same basic principles and that is visioning and goal setting.

Successful people accomplish their goals in life by design and not by default. Most people feel they are capable of a life far more enriching than the one they are currently living, but they don’t know how to get there. Isn’t it time that you got to create the kind of life that you’ve always dreamed of?

This presentation will show you the importance of goal setting, and some tips to create your personal vision. During this interactive presentation, we will also look at SMART goals and how to put those goals into action.

Come prepared to bring your future closer to your present.

Bio:
Claudette Chenevert, founder of Coaching Steps LLC inspires people to achieve their best in life, whether it is in their relationships or their personal development so that they, in turn feel empowered to do what they were meant to do.

After working as a hairstylist for 18 years and an educator/trainer for Paul Mitchell of Canada, she pursued her dream of getting her degree in Psychology of Communication at George Mason University and graduated with honors in 2007 while building her practice of helping women overcoming their insecurities and struggles in their relationships and life. Claudette’s approach is one that looks at the entire person, and not just segments. She looks at what is at the core of the dilemmas and provides guidance, support and encouragement to help the client achieve their goals.

Claudette offers workshops, group coaching as well as one-on-one coaching. She speaks on topics on communication, life balance and creating your life vision. She is in the process of writing her memoirs called "A Stepmother's Journey".
