Life Coach

As an author, consultant, behaviorist, educator and life coach
Joseph Ventimiglia caterers to many top professionals in their
respective fields, and produces a multitude of programming
throughout the year all over the country. Drawing from his 20 plus
years of experience in team adventure sports, education, business,
psychology and life coaching Joe helps people from all walks of life
become more successful by working with clients to facilitate a path
towards positive change.

Joe realized, early on, that traditional coaching does not seek emotional healing or
relief from psychological pain. Traditional coaching concentrates primarily on the
present and future and does not focus on the past or on the past's impact on the
present. Coaching uses information from the client's past to clarify where the client
is today. It does not depend on resolution of the past to move the client forward.
Coaching does not focus directly on relieving psychological pain or treating cognitive
behavior or emotional disorders. Coaching alone is designed to help clients improve
their learning and performance, and enhance their quality of life.

Not a believer in rigid lines, Joe combines the needed services to accommodate a
complete positive outcome. Joe believes that a combination of coaching,
psychotherapy and a behaviorist approach could be a winning combination. Keeping
all options open or a combination of them could be the winning approach into the
leading formula to help people live, work and play. To simply enjoy the journey:
Joe’s passion to help facilitate authentic life changing results directly, believing in,
and participating in such a journey, sets him apart from the rest, and today his
client list reads like a "who's who".
