About Me
| Tammy Dirkman Certified Life Skills Coach |
| All of my life I have felt I wanted to help people; but it was not until later in life, when I moved to another state without knowing anyone, that an opportunity presented itself to me. My coaching skills have come to me through my own life experiences, training, and interactions with people who have crossed my path. My goal has consistently been to empower and encourage others to discover their own unique path and assist them in their process. |
REMEMBER
Last Update: June 21, 2008
I grew up and graduated from high school in Wisconsin. At the age of 18 I was
undecided as to what career path I wanted to pursue. As a young person I always had
an interest in counseling and court reporting. The opportunity to work full time at a
law firm was presented to me immediately following high school, and I accepted. I
only intended to stay there for a short time to gain experience in the legal field, but I
found myself enjoying the work. As a result, for 20 years I worked in the legal
profession in Wisconsin until I realized I needed a change. In the spring of 2001, I
decided to move to Atlanta and continued to work in the legal field at a large law firm.
During that time I have gained knowledgeable skills at many levels. Communicating
with others has always been a very important part of my job. Having worked with
many different people has given me the chance to understand ways of connecting with
others on a very personal level. This has been instrumental in allowing me to realize my
passion for guiding others.
Shortly after moving to Atlanta and being away from close friends and family, I started
to feel myself going through changes. I began to look inward and while in this process
of self-discovery, I found myself searching for inspirational outlets so I could discover
what was going to make my life more meaningful. I started reading books, searching
the web for motivational information, and spending a lot of time by myself. A friend of
mine had an interest in metaphysics and because I was on the path of self-discovery, I
started to develop an interest. The subject seemed to be thought provoking and
appeared to have answers to a lot of my life questions. As a result of my new interest
in metaphysics, I decided to see a psychic. During the reading I was told “you are
going to be guiding people.” At that time I had no clue as to what the psychic was
talking about and disregarded the comment. I continued the process of self-discovery
and later that year the same friend sent me information on a course called “Creating
Miracles in Your Life.” I decided to take the course to see if there was any insight that
it could provide for me. Included in the materials for the course was a brochure on a
program called “Life Skills Coaching." As I began reading the brochure I came across
the paragraph that described the coaching as "guiding others”. As I read that line I
remembered the comment the psychic said to me. The feeling inside of me was
overwhelming as I realized this was no coincidence -- I was put in the right place at the
right time. I talked to the instructors after the course and decided to sign up for the
class. I successfully completed my studies and certification for becoming a life skills
coach and I am now successfully assisting and guiding others in their lives in the areas
of Relationships, Life Purpose, Career, and Finance. I have also completed a "Life
Skills Speaking Program", a "Counseling for Healers" course, and attended many
energy and intuitive classes through the instruction of Wanda Lasseter-Lundy (www.
lasseter-lundy.com). I continue to educate myself by attending a variety of seminars
and classes.
I always felt I had a purpose and for many years I asked God to reveal it to me. Now
that my purpose for guiding others has been revealed, I realize more than ever that my
main education was meant to be life itself. I needed to have my own experiences to be
better equipped to help others. The growth I have felt over the years has been
overwhelming and I thank God every day for the changes and development in myself
that has propelled me to this place. I am a different person because of it. My goal is to
help others find their passion and meaning in life and assist them in their process
