Christian coaching with Paul Hackett

What are you ready to change?

I personally read every application.

Maybe it’s the conversation you keep putting off, the yes that should have been a no, or the habit you thought you’d left behind.

I coach i

ndividuals who are ready to look honestly at what keeps happening and practice something different, one week at a time.

Sound familiar?

Moments you might recognize

The conversation

You rehearse what you need to say on the drive home. Then you walk in the door and say nothing.

The yes

Someone asks for one more thing, and you hear yourself say yes before you’ve even thought about it.

The habit

It’s late, the house is quiet, and you’re back in the habit you promised yourself you were done with.

If you can name a moment like one of these, we have something real to work with.

The program

Breakthrough Transformations

A one-on-one coaching program built around your real life. We don’t work on a vague goal. We work on what happened this week, what you want to do differently, and who you’re becoming.

Faith

Scripture and prayer are the foundation, not an add-on. We look at your choices in light of who God says you are.

Reflection

We slow down and look at what actually happened: what you felt, what you told yourself, and what you did.

Practical coaching

We turn what you notice into a specific response you can practice, not just something to think about.

Accountability

You leave each session with something to try. The next time we meet, we start with how it went.

What a session can look like

Say you’ve been meaning to tell your manager that your workload isn’t sustainable. Thursday’s meeting came and went, and you didn’t say a word.

1

Bring the moment in

You tell me what happened on Thursday, in as much detail as you remember. Not a summary of your week. The actual moment.

2

Find where you had a choice

Together we slow it down and find the point where you could have spoken up, and what you told yourself instead.

3

Practice a different response

We rehearse the conversation out loud until the words feel like yours. We pray about it and talk about what is at stake.

4

Try it before we meet again

You decide when you’ll have that conversation this week. Next session, we start with how it went.

Where NLP fits

Some of the tools I use come from Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP. In plain terms, it’s a practical way to notice the words you use with yourself, the pictures in your head, and how quickly you react, so you can respond on purpose instead of on autopilot. I use it in service of your faith, never in place of it.

The commitment

This asks something of you. That’s the point.

I want you to know exactly what you’re saying yes to before you apply.

$2,495

Program investment. Payment plans are available.

Sessions

Private and one-on-one, 90 minutes each

Rhythm

Generally weekly, with pacing set around you. More than one session a week when it helps.

Where

By Zoom, or in person in North Central Massachusetts

Between sessions

Practical work to do each week. This is where most of the change happens.

This is likely a good fit if you…

can name something specific you want to change

are ready to take responsibility for your part in it

will set aside time between sessions to practice

It may not be the right time if you…

need therapy, medical care, or crisis support. I’m glad to help you find the right kind of help.

are looking for advice more than practice

can’t make room for weekly work right now

About Paul

I’m Paul. I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a husband, a follower of Jesus, and a coach in North Central Massachusetts. My faith shapes how I live and how I work with people.

Romans 12:2 talks about being transformed by the renewing of your mind. I’ve come to believe that renewal shows up in ordinary places: how you answer, what you agree to, and what you do when no one is watching.

I coach because I want to sit across from people who are tired of the same cycle and help them practice something new, one honest week at a time.
