Jeannine Lee, ACC, CPCC, GRC
Live by Design! Not by Default. It's Your Life. What do You want it to look like?
What I do
I work with individuals who want to be excited about getting up in the morning! Better job, less chaos, lose weight, write a book, tame the kids, balance finances, love relationship. What would have YOU get excited to get out of bed in the morning?? The possibilities are endless!
I also work with couples to manage chaos, learn communication and other skills, find their purpose together, deepen love and intimacy, or even to work through a conscious divorce and the resulting emotions, should that be where your road leads.
My Mission
Humans are powerful. We change the face of our world. Throughout history our choices have been basically the same: To contribute to the unconscious spiral reported nightly on the evening news, or to yield to a higher principle of Love, impacting the world for good.
I believe that each one of us is no less powerful or influential than a Martin Luther King, Jr. or a Gandhi, or an Einstein, or any number of folks that would make a very long list. Our world is different because they lived. How will the world be different because you've lived? And oh, the person you will become as you live it out!
I invite you to the journey of discovering YOUR gift to the world. I invite you to create loving, growth-producing relationships that will support you in your quest. I invite you to quit playing small, to swallow the words "I can't", and to jump into your life and see how big a splash you can make, knowing that as you step into a bigger version of your life, the world gets a little better for all of us.

Personal
I have climbed over 30 of Colorado's highest peaks, about half of them solo or with Taylor the dog. Each mountain is as a mini-lifetime, unique in its challenges, approach, and resulting sense of accomplishment. I know what it is to set one's sites on the far horizon and do what it takes to get there. The false summits, on the mountains or in life, are especially challenging, demanding extra courage and stamina.
My background prior to coaching was quite varied. I worked for lawyers as a receptionist and legal assistant. I've worked in the natural healing field in a variety of capacities. I've managed two small businesses, have been a college student, a housecleaner, and a bookkeeper. I've painted houses, been a Census taker, and was employed by Rocky Mountain National Park in the outdoors I love. I've waited tables, waited on a husband, and waited on God. I've raised a family (4 kids and 4 grandkids), raised Golden Retrievers, and still grow an organic garden. I'm passionate about wild places, intimate relationships, and adventure. I write, make collages, take photos, and read a lot. I eat for health, work out at the gym, practice yoga, and value relationship with my God whom I call the Lover of my Soul.
I am in a constant process of balancing work and play and health and several of my other values. I find life fun, interesting, challenging and rewarding. It is a constant curiosity to me.
Coaching Style
The best way to know is to read my client's testimonials. There are more on my website.
Most people say that I am the toughest gentle coach they have ever known. I will help you get all the support you need - from me and others, to assist you in making the changes you desire, AND I will not let you compromise, talk yourself out of, or play small when it comes to creating A FUTURE WORTH HAVING for yourself. I coach from knowing, not from theory. I've been there and done it. You can do it, too!
Client Comments
"Coaching by Jeannine has helped me step out in the world to be me, seeing the vastness in the world by seeing the greatness in others and in myself and all things in the world. The coaching has helped me see that life is just a process always unfolding, and more a place of being than doing things. By "being" in the world, I actually get more of the important stuff accomplished by just being me. Coaching has helped me focus on the greatness of life vs. being concerned about the pea under the mattress or the thorn in the tire. Understanding and discussing that it is ok for all of us to make mistakes will help in the process of being in the world in our greatness."
-- Mark - Psychiatrist"I sometimes have an underlying plea for Jeannine to give the "right" answers to my unique circumstances. I know that it would only frustrate my process of taking my life in my hands and it is not what I really want. Jeannine is that she doesn't judge my thoughts or the direction of my life course, but rather challenges me to understand, to feel, and to choose proactive strategies ("homework") to act upon during the week. She lets me create my own adventure, only serving as a guardrail protecting me from the occasional digressions into self-deprecation. I have been amazed at times when her insightful analogies express the process of my becoming better than I ever could have myself. Jeannine has an intolerance for "garbage talk" in which she exposes the foolishness of my inner critic. She firmly exhorts me to try behaviors that seem to have self-veracity, in which I am the sole determinant."
-- Krista - Student"Jeannine has helped me to take a look at myself and to make a stand in my life, to redirect my path, in a positive way. I've a long way to go, but it will be done. Jeannine has a calmness and peacefulness about her. A powerful tool, a strong one."
-- Tom - Firefighter"Jeannine started coaching us at a very critical time in our marriage. We had been spiraling down a negative path for a long time and needed someone else to look at what we were doing and give us tools to change. Jeannine is a real positive coach, having us look at our differences as a good thing, building a whole new marriage on what we have instead of [upon] dreams. We especially appreciate Jeannine's insight and God-given discernment in her coaching."
