Meet Coach Gerri
Ratigan
"As we grow ourselves... we grow the world"
I want you to have the joy I've found
through the personal path to fulfillment.
Through this work I've found greater success,
come to a deeper understanding of love,
enjoy improved relationships and peace.
As a coach, I help individuals and groups
achieve more than they could otherwise
through partnership, advocacy and support.
My goal is to be a catalyst for others
to recognize or reawaken their passion
for life. Life is not meant to be lived
in the future, while we plod along at
demeaning jobs. By learning to become
more alert to the possibilities available
right now, effectiveness and satisfaction
are increased.
Whatever methods you use to strive toward
your own growth, I encourage you to continue.
Light has many paths leading its way.
This work we do on ourselves enlightens
the world. Continue on your journey. Its
worth it!
Mission - To coach and train
others to live their greatest truth
by modeling lightness, wisdom, prosperity,
passion and love, which radiates to
their community and the world.

I am a transitioning single parent. My
greatest accomplishment is my two teenage
sons. Two of the comments that went right
to my heart from clients were: My teenage
son is now in my life because of that
one talk we had. And I wouldn't have the
relationship I have with my daughters
if it hadn't been for you. Well, I guess
I'm bragging, but if that isn't success,
I don't know what is! *smile*
What clients are saying:
"Gerri says that
she is a success partner and she truly
is. This past year has been a challening
one for me. I became the sole breadwinner
for my family, I formed a partnership
with another broker, and, along with everyone
else, I've had to guide clients through
a very turbulent market. Through it all
Gerri has helped me to maintain my focus,
set boundaries, and balance my work and
home life to reduce my stress level. She's
taught me the importance of taking care
of myself first so that I am more productive
and have more energy. Over the past several
months we have been working on a business
model for our partnership that will allow
my partners and me to more effectively
manage our clients and provide better
service so that we will ultimately achieve
our production goals. Working with Gerri
helps me to maintain my enthusiasm and
has really helped me to implement changes
in my life. I know others would benefit
from Gerri's wisdom and experience."

"Gerri has helped me to look
at aspects of my business in new ways,
especially in marketing. I have benefitted
from our professional relationship in
two other concrete ways. Coaching and
financial planning are closely interrelated
in that they have to do with adjusting
old habits and finding new ways of doing
things. Having worked with Gerri, I can
offer my clents an added depth in my consultations
with them. She has also given me useful
input on public speaking, and this has
helped me enormously as I increase my
seminar activity."
Susan Schell

"Your encouragement and suggestions
have helped me to become more successful
and enjoy my life more. The activity level
of my sales team has almost doubled. I
have learned new and more effective ways
of relating to others; former 'difficult'
situations dont seem so hard to
deal with anymore."
Gretchen
Sunderland
Sales Director
"I have enjoyed many benefits
working with Gerri. Most notably, I have,
doubled my profitability, started an exciting
new business opportunity, increased my
confidence, increased my energy level,
experienced more clarity and focus about
what I want for myself, eliminated clutter
from my home, and started and regularly
contribute to a savings plan."
