About Tucker Dinnes and LIFE Coaching

My business experience has been varied and exciting! During my career I have worked in a variety of positions with a focus on accounting, bookkeeping, and administration. My desire has always been to work more closely with people, and becoming a life coach has enabled me to fulfill that desire. I've always found great joy in seeing others overcome obstacles, move forward, and reach their goals. Pursing self-employment and finding success as a woman in business is very empowering, and that is my passion — to help other women who are pursuing learning, inspiration, fulfillment, and excellence in their business and personal lives.

My coach training includes Quantum Shift Life Coaching, Coaching Authentic Retirement, and The Circle of Life wellness coaching programs. As business and life overlap, it is increasingly important for women to practise good self-care and find the work-life balance that energizes them. My wellness coach training enables me to offer clients an additional service which complements the business coaching.

What do I do (and how long have I been doing it)?

I have been a life and small business coach since October 2008. I use the coaching process/model to create a space for my clients to pause, to think and reflect, and to identify what their life/business priorities are.

Why do I do it?

I coach because I believe that we all need a place to think out loud without fear of judgment or outside opinion, and to be acknowledged and honoured. I provide a space for the women I work with to start building a connection with themselves and their own inner wisdom and answers. The intention of my coaching practice is to provide support, ideas, and resources that inspire that connection and deepen self-confidence and self-compassion.

What are my passions?

My passions are learning, sharing, and teaching.

What is my personal / professional philosophy?

I try to live from a place of balance — balanced body, mind, and spirit. I have noticed that when taking care of all three aspects I am able to access more inner peace and calm which in turn enables me to accept life with all of its ups and downs.

What makes my business different?

I provide a service, and that service is uniquely tied to me. There are many different types of life coaches, each with a chosen niche. I believe that every coach has distinct gifts and talents. What I offer as a coach may not serve everyone, and that is ok. I have a varied business background that I tap into when needed, which is an asset to my clients who are brainstorming changes, challenges, and planning.

What is my definition of success?

My personal success is defined by living simply and from a place of gratitude and connection with others. I try to remember not to live in the past or the future but to enjoy what I am doing when I am doing it. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with others and to be able to help them strengthen and build their connection to themselves and their own wisdom and possibilities.

What do I do for fun?

I love to walk, and Quadra Island offers many beautiful places to do that! I also enjoy hanging out with my husband, coffee and laughs with my girlfriends, and I dabble with watercolours and sewing.
