At Adoption Network Cleveland, we are committed to offering a variety of services that support our constituent communities. As part of our ongoing efforts, we offer Life Coaching to help individuals navigate personal and professional growth, overcome obstacles, and unlock their full potential.
What is Life Coaching?
Life coaching is an empowering, transformational relationship between a trained coach and a client who is ready to focus on personal and professional development. The service is designed to help clients identify obstacles and habits in their lives and work through them to achieve meaningful goals. Through Life Coaching, individuals are able to reflect on their current paths, create actionable steps for change, and gain clarity on how to move forward.
We are proud to partner with JJ Rett, a certified coach and late-discovery adoptee, to offer this service to our community. JJ’s unique perspective and professional experience bring a compassionate and understanding approach to Life Coaching, making it especially valuable for those navigating the impact and complexities of adoption.
Life Coaching sessions are all offered virtually.
Why Life Coaching?
Life Coaching is a valuable tool for anyone seeking positive change in their life. Whether you’re facing personal challenges, looking for clarity in your career, or simply need a fresh perspective, coaching provides a structured approach to help you move forward. Research has shown that solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral coaching can have a positive impact on mental health and overall life satisfaction.
For those who have experienced trauma or feel uncertain about their next steps, Life Coaching can be particularly helpful. The coaching process helps individuals better understand their habits, identity, and mindset, ultimately leading to greater clarity and the ability to achieve personal goals.
If you’re curious about how Life Coaching could work for you, we offer a free half-hour trial session. This allows you to experience the coaching process and determine if it’s the right fit for your needs.
Meet JJ Rett
JJ Rett’s personal adoption journey makes her coaching practice especially meaningful. As a late-discovery adoptee, JJ has experienced the healing and self-discovery that can come from understanding one’s identity. She has been a member of Adoption Network Cleveland since 2015, and the organization has played a key role in her healing journey.
After discovering the power of coaching for herself in 2023, JJ knew she wanted to help others in the adoption community achieve their own breakthroughs. As a certified life coach, JJ uses her values of Authenticity, Connection, Truth, Belonging, and JOY to guide her coaching practice. She strives to create a safe space for clients to explore their identity, overcome limiting beliefs, and set meaningful goals.
JJ’s approach to coaching is deeply compassionate and rooted in her belief that everyone has the potential to create positive change in their life. She helps clients tap into their inner strength and become more confident in navigating their own path forward.
Since reuniting with both sides of her biological family, JJ has experienced profound personal growth, and now she’s eager to share her skills with others who are on similar journeys. In 2023, JJ, her husband, and their three children moved back to Dayton, OH to be closer to both her adoptive and biological families, marking a new chapter in their lives.
Through her Life Coaching service, JJ helps individuals connected to adoption break free from limiting beliefs, set and achieve goals, and embrace the full potential of who they are.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward your personal growth, we encourage you to take advantage of our free half-hour Life Coaching session. To schedule, please contact Ty Cliffel at ty.cliffel@adoptionnetwork.org. We look forward to supporting you on your journey.
