Phyllis Quinlan PhD, RN-BC Location: Queens, New York "The journey of becoming a fully actualized person means seeing through fear and ego, and waking up to our natural intelligence. It takes kindness to ourselves and others and courage, to wake up in this world. You must take responsibility and accountability for your life."

How will clients benefit with you as their coach? Personal coaching supports and guides you in your desire to explore where you are now, determine where you want to be within a given timeframe, and then create a pathway to get there with the understanding that you are being supported in a nonjudgmental manner. My approach to coaching is not traditional. My method offers you a blend of Eastern philosophy and energetic healing that is anchored in a conventional coaching structure. As a student and practitioner of the Shambhala lineage of Buddhist thought I believe that every human being has a fundamental nature of goodness, warmth and intelligence. This nature can be cultivated through meditation, following ancient principles, and it can be further developed in daily life, so that it radiates out to family, friends, community and society. I will guide the sessions, which are typically 60 minutes every other week, by asking questions that are designed to assist you in gaining insight, clarity and raising awareness. My approach to coaching is to view you as whole, competent and capable. My goal, as your coach, is to empower you to access your own innate knowing or wisdom. You are free to accept or decline whatever is suggested. The journey of becoming a fully actualized person means seeing through fear and ego, and waking up to our natural intelligence. It takes kindness to ourselves and others and courage, to wake up in this world. You must take responsibility and accountability for your life. The benefits of coaching are all predicated on how willing you are to work hard to attain the life you envision. The rewards can include: Feeling more comfortable in your own skin Increasing focus, confidence & self-esteem Increasing effectiveness and productivity Working through perceived obstacles and limitations Enjoying a greater sense of balance, harmony & contentment What results have clients reported after working with you? "After graduating from nursing school last year I was finding it difficult to find a job. Fortunately for me I found Phyllis. Not only did Phyllis go over my resume line by line, she helped me to customize my cover letters to each employer. Phyllis counseled my on interviewing skills and she helped me become clear on what is the best work environment for me. With her help I secured a great job! When I decided to return to school to pursue my Masters degree, I didn't hesitate to call Phyllis. Again she was so helpful. We updated and customized my resume and transformed my letter of intent. As a result I was recently accepted to Regis College FNP program. Rarely am I as happy with services I receive anywhere as I have been with those I have received from Phyllis. I can't recommend her highly enough!" Joshua Wenglin, RN /Westwood, MA "Good knowledge and excellent session. Great coaching techniques given to me and my colleagues." "Awesome learning session."

Thank-you!!Much needed and appreciated!!" Nell Koopmans, RN AORN 1013 Congress Participant "Hi Dr. Quinlan, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to meet with me before yesterday's career fair in Denver. I think it was amazing how, in just a few short minutes, you fixed my resume, taught me how to network and market myself and carved out a future path for my nursing career. You also made me feel so good and full of confidence as I waded into the job fair. The best part was how you told me to keep hold of my writing talent. With that in mind, I actually managed to get a gig writing about the nursing student perspective for the Colorado Nurses Association's newspaper. So thank you! I would love to stay in touch. -MK" Email from MK after the Colorado Hospital Association Career Event at Mile High Stadium 10.14.13 What do clients say about working with you?

Phyllis knew right away what was not working in my space and I made all the necessary adjustments. Her energy and creativity was abounding! She also gave me a quick lesson on Feng Shui , so I understood how important the placement of things in a room are. I am happy to say that I had my first client less than two weeks after Phyllis came to my home. I am forever grateful to you Phyllis, you are a gift." Helen Rousso/ President Pathways to Enlightenment "Phyllis is the consummate professional. It has been my privilege to be associated with her.
