Change can be hard…
And that’s why I absolutely LOVE doing this work of Life Planning, because it is such a simple yet powerful process that enables us to make substantial changes to increase the happiness we experience in our daily lives.
Using the Kinder method, I will help you do three things: identify the most perfect life you dare to dream, achieve that life, and then maintain it. It starts with identifying what is most essential to YOU in order to live a fulfilled life. Then I guide you as you address the obstacles you’ll face and set specific goals to achieve this life–sooner than later.
Each of us has only one life, and that life really matters. We cannot get last year back, or even yesterday! If we wait to obtain the things that we really value, we will have fewer years to enjoy them. This planning can address the NOW.
How I work
Generally, I work with clients over a series of three one-hour sessions, which we call Exploration, Discovery, and Obstacles. There will be some “homework” in between the first two sessions—some questions and a few charts to help you dig down and clear the way for your dreams to emerge. Additional sessions can be scheduled if needed. The result will be a clear plan of action to achieve your highest goals within a relatively short period of time.
The first meeting for Exploration is complimentary. If you decide you’d like to work with me, we work together through the Discovery and Obstacles sessions, with a follow-up session by phone. Your satisfaction is guaranteed!

What is Kinder Life Planning?
Life Planning was developed by George Kinder, a Harvard-educated financial planner and tax advisor who is now regarded as one of the most influential people in financial services in America because of the impact of his revolutionary approach that helps people create a more fulfilling life. His method emerged as a means of humanizing the development of a financial plan and making sure that all financial goals are truly centered on the client and can facilitate their best life as soon as possible.
Although financial planners generally try to understand each client’s fundamental goals and values, most of us have dreams for our lives that are closely guarded because we’re afraid they’re unrealistic and unreachable. In just a few sessions together utilizing the Kinder method, a Life Planner can help clients express and believe in their deepest dreams and assist them in creating a workable path forward.
Whether a Life Planner is a financial advisor or working outside that field, he/she can help clients unearth a clear picture of the life they would really like to be living and figure out what they need to change to gain their greatest happiness and fulfillment. The vitality and energy that result within the client when they have lit their “Torch” become powerful fuel to motivate and drive the changes that need to be made. It’s a brilliant and catalyzing approach that doesn’t feel like work!
Additional Resources
For most people, working with a Kinder Life Planner is the most efficient and effective way to uncover your dream and achieve it quickly through a series of three to five meetings. However, George Kinder has made the process available to everyone through his “Life Planning for You” website as well as his books, Life Planning for You, Lighting the Torch, and The Seven Stages of Money Maturity.
