My business is helping you get the right parts of yourself to show up at the right time in order to have a successful and balanced business and personal life. Making these changes can be much easier than you think. The Voice Dialogue method I use in my private practice as a counselor and teach in workshops through The Voice Dialogue Institute allows you to quickly and easily refocus your energy in a way that is embodied, real, and lasting.

My business is helping you get the right parts of yourself to show up at the right time in order to have a successful and balanced business and personal life. Making these changes can be much easier than you think. The Voice Dialogue method I use in my private practice as a counselor and teach in workshops through The Voice Dialogue Institute allows you to quickly and easily refocus your energy in a way that is embodied, real, and lasting.

Being in business calls on you to bring all your gifts and talents to the table. First and foremost are the skills, services and products you offer. But, a challenging aspect of business is that the part of you who knows how to do what you do isn't necessarily the part of you that knows how to sell what you do or organize what you do or effectively present what you do. Success comes through being able to access all of your potential, all of the facets of your personality beyond the ones you're already good at.

Here are some of the discoveries that come through the Voice Dialogue process: Finding out who in you is in the driver's seat of your life, who's running your business, and learning how to have conscious choice about that. Becoming aware of what part of your personality has been presenting your business. If you tend to be too heady and lose your audience or get petrified in the spotlight, Voice Dialogue can help you "master your energy" so people feel you're solid and congruent and they believe what you say. * Allowing your relationships to bring you profound teaching and satisfaction. If relationships with your business partner(s) and your customers/clients are less than harmonious, that can drain energy and profits. And if relationships are stressful in your personal life, that undermines your source of support and nurturance when you go to work.

At the Voice Dialogue Institute we teach practical workshops that help you turn the worst part of relationships around so that they become a source of empowerment and growth. A recent participant in our Deepening Connections weekend commented, "I would have a hard time choosing one most meaningful part of the workshop. I have been walking around the last two days in a state of awe at the subversive, quiet efficacy of this method. In all the inner work I have done, both with traditional therapists and in meditation, I have never encountered something so deeply clarifying."

That "deeply clarifying" method is the Voice Dialogue process that I use in my private practice as a counselor in Seattle. It is a gentle, non-judgmental approach that honors all of who you are and helps you to change and grow without giving up any part of yourself. I see dramatic changes in my clients in a surprisingly short amount of time.

Our next Deepening Connections workshop is March 14-15. You can read more about it at (http://www.thevoicedialogueinstitute.org) [less]

  Miriam is the best coach I have ever had. One the greatest rewards I have had with working with Miriam for the last half-year or more, is peace with myself. I have worked with some very talented business and life coaches who were great at trying different tools working on the basis of “correcting” something that was wrong, or “not serving me” in my life. With Miriam’s work, there’s nothing wrong with me. Together, we explore all the facets of me, as if I am a cut gem and all the surfaces are perfect, just as they are. With that sort of context, being wrong or having a part of my life that is bad, is not an option.

  Miriam helps me totally see and connect with myself. The woman keeps me on track! She helps me get “back to center” so I can lead a fulfilled and productive life. Her coaching leads me to accept those parts of me that are difficult to accept, and I am crystal clear about what aspects of me are needed to “go to work” to make my dreams come true.

  Miriam’s methods are non-invasive. She’s a very gentle practitioner. I never get a diagnosis or a pointing finger that says, “That action you do, it’s wrong! We need to cure it! Or you’ll never get better” That is not to say the work we do together does not totally rock my world sometimes. I go to her for not only my goals in productivity, balance and direction, but also for the often jarring work of healing, transformation and personal growth.

  Another great thing about Miriam is her ability to maintain solid professional boundaries while also caring so deeply about me, my process, and making sure I get out the other side during tough times. I am grateful for her work with me. I would recommend her to people who need anything from help with professional and personal goals to help with emotional and behavioral stability.    [less]

  Miriam, ‘Who’s Running Your Business?’, the event you and Cassandra co-facilitated last Wednesday, was a real upper for me. Whenever I am in your presence I learn something new. As a Life Coach, I wanted to add Voice Dialogue to my Coach’s tool kit. I was beyond excited to learn that the author of ‘The Voice Dialogue Facilitator's Handbook,' (that would be you) lived geographically close to me, and that I would be able to work with someone who had learned her craft from the originators of the technology. The first thing you taught me was that to be good at the art of facilitation, I had to have firsthand experience of the work for myself. So I became, and remain, a faithful client/student. My one-on-one sessions and workshops with you have allowed me to identify and embrace many parts of myself I had not yet been able to access with any other type of therapeutic process. As my facilitator and teacher, you are an outstanding role model; I am grateful to have you in my life.   [less]

  Miriam co-led a workshop that I recently attended on Voice Dialogue. She's been working with this technique a long time and her ease in sharing and demonstrating this work to the group was enjoyable. I also feel that working with Miriam to do this inner work would be a safe and productive experience.   [less]
