About Dale Roberts

A Multi-Vocational Professional Life Coach and Handwriting Analyst
Certified Professional Life Coach

Dale coaching with man on couchWith all of the unusual accomplishments Dale has achieved during his lifetime, from a successful career as a financial advisor, to professional speaking, to commercial acting, to handwriting analysis, Dale has always had the sense that there was something more he was "called" to do.

That call began to become clear when a door opened for Dale in 2003, with the opportunity to experience a life-planning process, an intense two day, one-on-one session with a trained facilitator based on a couple popular books. A life-planning process takes a person deep into exploration of one's life purpose. Dale was so intrigued by that process that he became a life-planning facilitator himself. He conducted a number of life-planning sessions over the next decade and clients embraced the process, with varying degrees of success in "living out" their own life plan. Those most successful in implementing their life plans also had the benefit of structured accountability and ongoing "coaching."

In 2014, Dale began training with the Professional Christian Coaching Institute, and became a Certified Professional Life Coach in 2017. He currently holds the credential of ACC (Associate Certified Coach) from the International Coaching Federation. Dale utilizes his forty years experience as a handwriting analyst to bring the additional "write insights" to his clients.

Here’s what Dale says about his calling – Professional Life Coaching:

"Coaching" is all about transformational change – discovering the purposes for which you were born, using the ‘gifts’ and talents you've been given, and bringing them to the fruition of a life of significance that has been well lived.

Regardless of the ‘season of life’ you are currently in: mid-life, empty nest, pre-retirement, or post-retirement, that next season is just around the corner and will be here faster than you think.

It's my passion, pleasure and calling to bring you all the tools I have learned over the past 40 years to help you transform your own life into the one you were meant to live.

I love to communicate: listening, talking, interacting at a deep personal yet professional level. My greatest blessings come from interacting with and building into people. And I hope that your life, your relationships, and your business will all be better because you've invited me into them.”
