Meet Life Coach Chris Mamone:

Name: Chris Mamone

Pillar: The Heart

Who is this coach for: Anyone who experienced loss, trauma or grief and they want to heal so they can move forward in life.

How they can help: By customizing each coaching to the needs of his clients and using various tools and techniques, as well as books, podcasts, and other resources he learned along his coaching experiences.

First of all, how are you and your family doing after these Pandemic times?

During the pandemic I was doing very well financially from my career in the mortgage industry up until 2022.

I got let go from my job and lost my child to stillborn all in a matter of 3 months.

What followed next was a lot of loss and major life changes.

I had a personal coach since 2018 and had been always planning on opening a coaching practice and finally decided this was the opportune time to get it started.

I decided that I wanted to use my grief, loss and trauma to help others who are experiencing similar life events heal from them, discover their self acceptance and create a new life that is authentic to who they are.

How did the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

I didn’t have my coaching business running during the pandemic.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

There were two kinds of people I saw during the pandemic.

The first group of people were those who became highly reactive in life and chose to fear the future and the present moment and in turn life either stayed the same or got worse.

Life was changing and this group of individuals was fighting the tide.

The other group of people took the pandemic as an opportunity for change.

An opportunity for something better.

I saw this group of people getting better jobs, relocating, quitting jobs and people that were no longer serving them in life and chose something better.

I also saw them focus on personal growth, healing, and seeking a different more fulfilling way of life.

It was powerful to watch.

I learned the difference between responding and reacting to your life.

Everything you experience in life is happening FOR you and NOT TO YOU.

There is always a gift, lesson, or blessing from these moments of life that can change your trajectory and put you on a path to greatness or hold you back.

It’s about your perspective and how you choose to see your life and circumstances.

I also learned during the pandemic that it was a huge opportunity to reevaluate your life and ask those deep questions.

Do you want more and better or do you settle for what you have and play it safe?

If you could wave a magic wand and create the life you truly want, what would it look like?

There is power in asking yourself the hard questions and digging deep into the grief, loss, and trauma you’ve experienced in life and asking how it can shape you into the best version of yourself.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I got started in 2018 when I was in a depression era of life.

My job, family, and friend situation was not working out at all and I needed to do something drastic so I hired a life coach.

My life changed radically after that decision for the good and I became passionate about coaching a few years later.

I’m taking the plunge this year by starting my own coaching practice.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

One of my dear friends who is an astrologer said to me that everything that was supposed to go right went wrong for me. Everything that went wrong becomes a blessing.

This could not have been more accurate to my life.

The biggest obstacle that I had to overcome included losing several jobs over the course of my working career, not fitting in with people, being blamed constantly by people in my life for not conforming or changing to their needs, watching my grandfather die in my arms in 2020, losing my first child to stillborn, narcissistic abuse, going broke on multiple occasions.

I share this because my life journey has taught me how to survive and thrive in the midst of grief, loss, and trauma and has shown me that nothing stops me from growing and traveling along my personal growth journey.

Healing from everything above has taken a lot of effort on my part so that I can be in a place to help and serve others so that they can learn how to heal from similar events in their lives.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

In the coaching space there are two main drivers that create innovation: learning and experience.

As a coach, I’m always learning by reading books, taking seminars or courses for topics and material that can help me better serve my clients.

I then take into account their experiences of life, their learning style, and how coachable they are, and how much risk they are willing to take to get the results they seek.

I tailor my approach on an individual basis so my clients can get the most benefit from the experience.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

I’ve read close to 100 books in the last 5 years, I’ve gone to seminars, taken certification courses, and I’m always learning from other coaches I follow.

I do these actions of continuous learning because I can serve a greater amount of people by learning different styles and tailor my coaching specific to my clients.

Coaching with me is a safe space to truly be yourself and let it all out!

No judgement, no fear, just straight up putting yourself out there so we can discover who you really are and empower the real you!

There are no limits in my coaching practice, its about discovery and removal of limitations and belief systems that hold you back.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

A renewed sense of purpose, drive, inspiration, and courage to push forward in life… only this time it is empowered by their own self discovery and acceptance of who they are.

They become free to do anything without limitation.

You’ll learn how to heal, how to turn grief and loss into powerful assets that move you forward.

Making grief part of you that helps you instead of holding you back.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

I have many tools that I share with my coaching clients.

These include books, podcasts, and other resources I’ve learned along my coaching experiences and certificate courses.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

Stop conforming to what others say or think about you!

Do you, be authentic, be true to yourself, and go live the life you are meant to live!

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

Everything that breaks you, makes you.

The perspective you have on experiences of your life shapes how you see the world and how you decide to participate in your life.

It’s about learning how to turn pain into gifts and blessings that propel you forward.

My grandfather’s mother had a phrase: “Good better best, never let it rest until the good is better and the better is best.”

I continue to focus on this phrase from the early 1900’s because its simple but powerful in shaping how you approach your life. 

Your final thoughts?

If you are experiencing grief, loss or trauma and are driven to create change in your life and heal from those experiences, I’m the coach for you!

I’ll help you discover self acceptance through those experiences, and help you create a new life on your terms!
