Vista man helps clients identify, realize their goalsVista - He says he's been coaching people throughout his adult life, and now Wade Thompson is marketing his motivational talent.
The Oceanside resident founded Vista-based Wade Thompson Coaching in 2010.
The business is designed to help people determine their individual challenges and goals and find ways to solve and reach them.
"When all these things are balanced, people will have a smoother ride in life," Thompson said.
“My skill sets and my goal in life is to study and effectively communicate dynamic ways of creating “true” wealth in the lives of my clients in order to assist them in recognizing their untapped potential and in achieving a meaningful, healthy and balanced life.”
Although coaching sessions vary, Thompson usually asks his clients to rate their health, money, career and personal relationships on a scale of 1 to 10. He then tells them to give a concrete description of what the rating means to them, and asks them what rating they would prefer. A concrete description of that second rating also is given.
Thompson then discusses whether that's a reasonable goal, and what his clients could do to meet it.
"I help them see their problems and goals from a different perspective," Thompson reiterated.
"Then the magic happens. All kinds of doors they thought were locked are opened and real possibilities occur."
Coaching sessions are available for a range of people, from entrepreneurs to managers, executives and people simply in transition, Thompson related.
Thompson said he's been coaching people for years.
When he was in his 30’s, he counseled people when he was pastoring Broadway Baptist Church in Santa Ana, Ca.
''People would ask me, how do I grow, not only spiritually, but as a person and in business as well?"
I would counsel them on steps to put in place that would maximize the potential for “good things” to take place in their lives. Many would see incremental change as we worked through the steps and dealt with the setbacks that naturally occur as we venture through life.
Life isn’t straight up or straight down normally and one of my favorite quotes is “Don’t wish for an easier life, wish for more capability to ease gracefully through life.” We work on the capability factor through more creativity, relationship building and ultimately leadership in their core areas.
Thompson was even a mentor after his official pastoring days came to an end.
As an Associate trainer for Challenge Systems, a real estate training organization founded by Robert Allen, I would work with clients helping them to implement the principles of real estate acquisition in their communities. At one time I traveled throughout the country holding one day follow up seminars that focused on taking book learning and applying it to their local markets.
A 1974 Chemistry major from Taylor University and 1981 theological graduate from Talbot Theological Seminary, Wade has a life-long love affair of integrating research, long-lasting values and practical application of life principles.
Desirous of putting his talents to maximum use and expand his consulting, he formed Wade Thompson Coaching.
Sessions can last a half-hour or an hour.
