Pull Up A Milk Crate, Let's Talk

Originally published November 9, 2020

​Milk Crate Coaching is making some major changes. I have struggled for many years with taking payment for what I do. Its not that I don't believe I am not up to the job, its not because I don't value what I do, its because I value those for whom I do it.

For me, coaching is not just a job or career, it is a condition of my heart. When I chose Milk Crate Coaching as my name, it was because I wanted to honor the many conversations I had with loved ones as we sat on milk crates in the back of a little store I ran. I cared about those people, I cared about what they were going through, and I cared more about that than about than any paycheque. I still feel that way today.

I care about people, about you; and I don't ever want a financial situation to get in the way of our work together. 

During this time of covid, when so many have lost or reduced their income, when so many have seen their heartaches and stresses grow, it seems more important to me than ever to see you, hear you, and to understand you; to pull up a milk crate beside you and talk it through.

For this reason, starting today, Milk Crate Coaching will no longer charge for services. Anyone who needs coaching is welcome regardless of their financial situation. I ask only that you come to me with an open heart and a willingness to work. It is my honour to work with you.

Sincerely,
