About your life coach

HELLO AND WELCOME TO HEART 2 HEART LIFE COACHING

My name is Elizabeth McCarty. I have spent a lifetime (30 + yrs.) helping people overcome obstacles in their lives. I absolutely love working and helping people of all ages. I am a mother of two wonderful children and a grandmother of three beautiful grandchildren. In the past I have fostered children, cared for my elderly mother and
numerous animals. Presently, I care for my mothers sweet little dog and foster two stray cats (left in the alley-way) that I feed but they are afraid to come in from the cold. Caring for people and animals is my forte`.

My experience has varied in every decade of my life. I started my working life as a community social worker in the largest and poorest housing project in Canada.
Working with some remarkable families and amazing youth. I was instrumental in setting up a community centre, day-care centre and food co-op on the premises. As the majority of the clients were single parents on welfare my next job was to train them to work in the store as a pathway to becoming self sufficient, learn to eat healthy
all the while feel safe their children were cared for in the day care. Youth leadership programs were carried out in the community centre. An overwhelming number of parents and youth went on to jobs or training in both fields of work. As this work was implemented some 30 years ago and is still a model for the community at work today.
This job prepared me for my next big adventure.

I was asked to manage the largest volunteer program (at that time) in Canada. The program served 2,500-3,000 volunteers at any given time. I managed a full time staff of 15 and 30 office volunteers at various times throughout the month. I also took on the job to oversee our office community newspaper and was active on three community boards at the same time. (Today, I truly don't know how I managed it all, but I was young
that's all I can attribute it to.) The program itself served community organizations and non profit businesses throughout the city at the same time gave persons on welfare an opportunity to gain work experience, to prepare for further training or full time employment and independence. I might add that the vast majority of persons passing through the program gained full employment. The program proved itself so well that the
Government (Human Resources Department) integrated it as a valuable working program. This great work experience propelled me to my next and final job for ... you guessed it, the Government of course in the social services working as a counselor with single clients and families in need of assistance be it financial, education/training or family court. All in all it was a most rewarding time of my life and
subsequently I took an early retirement to start my own business.....Helping People.

HAVING HELD A NUMBER OF POSITIONS COUNSELING AND HELPING PEOPLE
FOR A LIFETIME HAS PREPARED ME TO WORK HARD IN YOUR BEST INTERESTS
AND PREPARE YOU FOR A NEW DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
