About
ListenWell Coaching
I’m Carlos Baca, Certified Professional Coach and founder of ListenWell Coaching. And if you’re wondering if we might be a good fit, I’d like to share a few of my “Whys” with you.
Why I started ListenWell Coaching
We are all living out our stories, yet many of us don’t realize the power we have to change those stories. For several decades, I’ve been helping young people and adults be more intentional about their life stories. In that process they learn to create a roadmap for where they want to go. Once they do, their newly created map can take them there. I like to call it, "Living with Purpose & Leading with Vision!"
Why I’m solution-focused
Whatever challenges you face in life, I believe a solution exists. Although many of the solutions we seek are difficult to see, if we remain focused on discovering a solution, we’re more apt to find one.
Why I’m strengths-based
We all have access to talents, gifts, and passions. These assets shape our contribution to the world. Each of us has at least one strength to offer, and no one has all the strengths. Awareness of our strengths—and the ability to see strengths in the people around us—is key to achieving whatever we want to do.
Why listening well matters
It’s a busy world, and it’s easy to run yourself to death on the hamster wheel of a daily to-do list without ever slowing down enough to clarify what’s important to you. When we learn to ListenWell, we contemplate the day, rehearse important conversations before they happen, and prepare to respond to each day as it unfolds. Basically, this is how we learn what we’re all about. We become like a scientist studying our own lives, which sets us up to notice patterns, consider strategic adjustments, and to shift our outcomes.
Why wonder matters
Every heard the saying, "Wisdom begins in wonder!" ? Let's look at each day as if we're seeing it for the first time. Explore, investigate, admire, and stand at the precipice of unknown possibilities. This place is the genesis of innovation. Are you ready to risk what you know, test your assumptions, and bring curiosity into your life. If so, be prepared to feel the wonder and awe of living a reverent life.
Why action matters
Time is a precious commodity. We honor the time we've been given by using it wisely and letting our actions flow from a sense of purpose. When we’re clear on our purpose, we can create strategic plans, develop action steps, make deadlines, and build in accountability. We can monitor progress, make necessary adjustments, and seek sustainability. But, at all times, we move forward, because talk is cheap!
