LifeShine Coaching and Consulting, Inc.

LifeShine was founded by us, Michelle and Bill Stimpson, in 2003. We are on a constant quest for self-improvement and consistently re-evaluate our lifestyle to make sure we are set up for a successful life…both individually and as a couple. Together—and through fourteen years of marriage—we have journeyed down the path of down-sizing, simplifying, clarifying priorities, clearing physical and mental clutter, setting goals, and ultimately creating the lifestyle we dreamed of!

After years of focusing on separate corporate careers, building our dream house together, and living a lifestyle of abundant "things," it seemed that something was still missing. By saying "yes" to our jobs, our house, and our current lifestyle, we realized we were saying "no" to the more important things in our life. So with study, mentorship, and coaching, we got clear on our priorities and devised a plan to help us reach our goals. We went back to school, left our corporate jobs, and launched our business; then sold the dream house which no longer matched our vision, and we continue to get rid of the clutter in our life that has held us back for so long.

By taking a risk and stepping out of our comfort zone after years of "playing it safe," we now consistently say "Yes!" to the things that matter most to us. And we're deeply satisfied focusing on a career that is more congruent and aligned with our true spirits. We are passionate about empowering others to live the lives that they have always dreamed of living, one step at a time.

The LifeShine business model is built on this quote by Harold Whitman: "Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." So what makes us come alive? It's all about the experience of life: live music, tropical vacations, hip restaurants and local attractions, watching storms, adventuring and exploring, road trips, boating on the lake, and just "being" in nature.

We are graduates of The Coaches Training Institute in San Rafael, California, and have also been trained in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®.

 
 
Bill Michelle

Bill focused on a career in business after graduating from college with a degree in math and science. Before he knew it, he was completely entrenched in the grocery industry where he eventually worked for over 20 years. Just months after his 30th birthday, however, Bill received a wake-up call that would send his life in a whole new direction. He suddenly became ill and was eventually diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Understanding and battling this illness required a complete reevaluation of his whole life, which sprouted an incredible journey of personal growth.

With the illness now a part of Bill's past, his quest for personal growth has expanded and become a great passion for him. His mission in life is to fulfill his highest potential, while leading others toward experiencing greatness in their own lives. Through Bill's amazing physical, mental, and spiritual recovery, he has become a wealth of knowledge on living. His appreciation of humor and fun, his fresh perspectives on life, and his ability to live within a "bigger picture" are an inspiration to those around him.

Bill also loves writing and reading, cooking, relaxing with good music and wine, being physically active, and of course, a good laugh!

 

In addition to a degree in communications and psychology, Michelle has over 800 hours of Professional Coaching experience and is a member of the International Coach Federation. She is a certified Franklin Covey instructor and leads personal and professional development workshops for businesses and the community.

Michelle brings enthusiasm and positivity to all that she does while thoroughly enjoying life. Her mission is to boldly live her best life and honor her core values…so that, in turn, she may empower others to claim their lives and honor their unique purpose. Read more about coaching.

Michelle loves working with motivated and enthusiastic professionals who are open to learning, committed to personal growth, and ready to live boldly!

On a personal note, Michelle's favorite things in life include classic rock concerts, outdoor festivals, soaking up sunshine, celebrating life with good friends, cardio kickboxing, dancing, massage, and time in the Caribbean.
