Jeff Burns

Life and Relationship Coach

Jeff Burns, Life and Relationship Coach

My job as a Life and Relationship Coach is to ask: “Who are you?” and “What do you want in life and relationships?” and “What are you going to do about it?”

More and more people have discovered the difference a coach can make in maximizing their opportunities in life and in their most significant relationships.  I’m Jeff Burns, and as a Life and Relationship Coach what I do is help people succeed.  Coaching is not about dispensing advice or fixing you.  Instead, a coach helps you find your motivation, clarify your objectives and stay on track to meet them.  If you’ve never experienced how empowering the support and encouragement of a coach can be, you owe it to yourself to find out.

Let me share a few distinctive qualities that set my coaching relationships apart from others.

  • Gain a Kingdom or Spiritual Perspective
    I’ll help you see how God is at work in your every circumstance, positive and negative.  Everything works together for good when you embrace this growth attitude.
  • Know Who You Are
    You’ll get to know your inner world—your dreams, gifting, personality type, life stage and destiny.  The creative environment of our coaching relationship makes this an exciting adventure of discovery.  A lot of attention will be given to helping you discover who you are in terms of your life purpose and calling.
  • Thrive In Your Relationships
    As your coach, you’ll receive from me the gift of an authentically encouraging and supportive relationship.  Great relationships empower you to reach higher and to be your best! 
  • Experience The Law of Attraction
    Special attention will be given to helping you determine what you really want in your life and relationships, and how you can get what you want in a positive and healthy way.  My commitment to you is to help you find your life purpose and destiny, and to help you find the love of your life based on that purpose and destiny.  Ultimately, we attract who we are.  This dynamic principle is called The Law of Attraction.

COACHING TESTIMONIALS

Tim L. says, “I graduated from NC State University in May of 2005 with a degree in Philosophy and Criminology.  My dating experiences throughout high school and college weren’t very frequent, but the ones I did have usually ended poorly for me.  It seemed that I couldn’t attract the girls I was interested in, but I would attract those that I found uninteresting.  On the occasions where I did initiate with a girl and she agreed to date it seemed the relationship went nowhere.  All in all, my experiences in dating tended to be disappointing and heartrending.

However, since I began Relationship Coaching with Jeff Burns my attitude toward dating has changed.  I feel much less anxiety about asking out women I’ve never met and I’m looking forward to meeting new people instead of being nervous.  I feel like I’m developing relationship skills to help me attract that kind of woman I’m looking for and I’m developing myself to becoming the person I want to be.  I feel great about my future in relationships and I’m confident I’m laying the foundation for a lifelong marriage with the woman of my dreams.” (Tim works for a pharmaceutical company.)

Christina S. says, “My time with you felt like a morphine shot of wisdom, direction, clarification, and confirmation.

I realized later that we were together for less than two hours, but it felt like I had more insight than I’ve had the entire two months preceding it.  And this has been a very insightful time for me, but so much is happening and God is moving in me so fast, that I am holding on for dear life and hoping I don’t loose what I’m learning because I don’t have time to process it before the next big revelation.

When I got together with you it brought about some significant processing and actualization for me.  I guess by actualization I mean that I was able to incorporate some things into my consciousness and my real life actions.  Basically I just want to tell you how helpful our time together was and to thank you again for investing in me.” (Christina S. is an NC State graduate and full time employee at a national organic supermarket)

Bernard M. says, “Meeting with Jeff Burns every week continues to make a significant impact on my life and relationships, not because he has a quick answer for everything, but through listening and genuine concern for me, Jeff is able to see inside my patterns and help me identify where I can find FREEDOM.  I am grateful for his input”. (Bernard is the CEO of Mumford Restoration & Freedom Properties)

Paul C. says, “Let me tell you a little about my friend Jeff Burns.  He is a man who was my companion  through the most difficult two years of my life.  The darkness I encountered threatened to take my life.  There were days where death seemed welcomed.  All seemed lost.

This may seem even stranger if you knew that I was a seminary professor, pastor, and professional counselor.  Yes, we all encounter stuff in life that is way TOO BIG!  It was during this time of despair that God sent my friend Jeff my way.  Jeff was able to refresh and encourage me.  He was able to assure me by his presence and words that he would not leave me in the darkness alone.  That was HUGE!  His companionship was a vital part of my healing and growth.

You will be greatly blessed and enriched by the life of Jeff Burns.” (Paul is an author, professor and professional family therapist)

Samantha P. says, “As a Life Coach, Jeff has the ability to help individuals in a one-on-one setting or a group setting to assess their lives and strategize . . . in the fear of the Lord . . . so as to fulfill their life purpose, reach their goals and practically apply their vision to everyday life.” (Samantha works for a major corporation)
