Coaching Overview

My name is Vivian Logan, and I have a 30-year background in behavioral health and substance abuse therapy. I am now a practicing certified life/business coach, whose coaching services are based on the principle that every individual/company can accomplish its goals and visions, and I am dedicated to helping folks reach their greatest potential. My transition to life coaching is based on my desire to assist my clients with positively developing new life-flourishing habits and extinguishing mindsets or behaviors that prove to be deterrents to achieving their goals. Although I am the sole proprietor of Visions Coaching Services and the managing coach, I do have access to qualified independent contractors with whom I can collaborate as needed.

Because coaching is a high-stakes profession, I provide a range of coaching services, which include, life, group, and executive/business coaching. As part of my business coaching services, I offer a leadership development component– I provide all the necessary coaching resources such as assessments, videos, books, and online materials.

My coaching services are ingrained in the principle that every company/individual can accomplish their goals and visions. I am dedicated to helping people reach their greatest potential. A Transformational Coach’s purpose is to serve others. I engage in a Positive/Habit Changing approach to help guide those who are experiencing feelings of being stuck due to isolation and physical or emotional pain from trauma, abuse, or a broken relationship. My values and integrity are essential steps in understanding the benefits that coaching brings to others.

Mission Statement

The name of my business is Visions Coaching Services, and my mission statement is “Let us bring your vision to fruition.” Visions aims to empower others in life and business to achieve their greatest potential. If you are life/career stuck allow Visions to shovel you to success! I am a servant leader coach who believes in positive practices.

Vision Statement

“Let’s stop talking about it and be about it.”

Coaching Need

As a licensed therapist I spent a great deal of time focusing on the past, to resolve current issues. The therapist is bound by the guidelines and regulations of their state licensing agency. Clients often leave sessions unable to move forward with their lives and do not feel a change has been accomplished (although one has). However, coaching allows one to focus on moving the client forward and/or helping them change their lives, based on their values, interests, and attitudes vs. dealing with the root causes of their pain and a treatment plan.

According to the CDC (2023),social isolation refers to a lack of relationships and minimal social support, even if a person does not feel lonely. Loneliness is the feeling of being alone or disconnected from others, regardless of the number of friends one has. After COVID-19, many people have identified “needing someone to talk to.” Studies indicate social isolation and loneliness can have a significant impact on one’s mental and physical health. Such as an increased risk of heart disease and stroke, a higher risk of depression and anxiety, and an increased likelihood of substance abuse and addiction. Social isolation may also intensify the possibility of dementia, suicidal thoughts, and self-harming behaviors (CDC, 2023).

As a former practicing therapist, if my client would be better served by a clinician versus a coach, I will gently recommend mental health and or substance abuse treatment and assist them with the referral process.

Value of Coaching

Coaching offers a series of benefits, as coaches foster and promote positive solution-focused thinking, and help their clients focus on what is feasible and how to approach and implement change. Using a non-therapeutic approach coaches can also help clients deal with stress and anxiety.
