Life Coach

 

Dave Turo-Shields, CEC, ACSW, LCSW

Dave brings nearly 19 years experience helping others achieve their life goals.

Hello and welcome! I am excited you've taken the step to learn more about what life coaching can do for you.

For the past 17 years, I have successfully worked as a psychotherapist and have owned a counseling practice for over 7 years. My wife describes me as a "student for life." My pursuit of personal development is extensive. I've benefited tremendously from what I've learned and implemented in my life. The good news for you is I bring numerous resources to meet your own desire for personal fulfillment. Life coaching is an exciting way to celebrate your strengths, while moving from a good life to one which is extraordinary. You're likely closer to a joy-filled life than you even realize. Enhancing your happiness, abundance and success are just a few choices away!

My areas of expertise in life coaching include:

  • Relationship & Marriage Coaching: Those in significant relationships hoping to achieve an extraordinary relationship and those singles who want to be in awesome relationships
  • Small Business Coaching: Home or small business owners
  • Spirituality Coaching: Helping you live from "The Center" outward into your life
  • Parent Coaching: Helping parents survive, celebrate and be the best parent you can be with the challenges of parenting, especially parents of gifted children

Personal Information:

I love watching folks "get it" in their own lives through life coaching. When the light bulb flashes on, suddenly their lives are infused with joy and energy... the way it can be for anyone willing to step into the adventure of life.

I enjoy giving workshops, writing, reading, cycling, hiking and camping. I'm on adjunct faculty for Indiana University and I love all our new technology.

I am married over 15 years to my soul-mate, Christine, who is a psychotherapist and one of the most natural life coaches I've ever known. We are currently developing and facilitating marriage enrichment workshops and retreats. It is gratifying to watch couples stretch and claim passionate relationships. We are the proud parents of two children, Nicholas, age 8 and Sarah, age 6. They are wonderful teachers about life. I'm now ramping back up to full-time vocational work. I've been a stay-at-home father for over 7 years and this fall our youngest entered school full time. Christine and I are hoping to be publishing at least two couples books/workbooks in the next 24 months.

I was recently featured on the "Carol The Coach" radio talk show in Indianapolis. It was great fun to be in the studio fielding questions from curious individuals about life's challenges.

A Favorite Quote:

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function is to be fully alive, not to simply exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall infuse my time here now."

  ~~ Jack London

What My Clients Are Saying:

 

"Dave Turo-Shields has the innate ability to "dance" with his clients. Experiencing Dave as a coach has been both miraculous and moving. Every person, at some point, feels like "dancing in life." And, if you're looking for a partner, he's the one!"
Peggy Alvarado, Parent Coach featured on Good Morning America

 

Voice mail message immediately following a session: "Thank you for an incredible session today! I think you could tell I got so much good stuff from todays session. It was awesome. I really appreciate it."
Michael, Corportate Consultant

 

"Coaching with Dave helped me get in touch with my values and take action! The care and choice of exercises he used helped me idenitfy exactly what I needed to take action with on my job. I began coaching thinking I'd be quitting my job. Now I love it! Who would have thought that could be possible, but Dave helped me keep an open mind & heart. I'm now sleeping again and have regained my confidence. Thanks for knowing how to lead me to this place in my life."
Sherry, Director of Clinical Services
