Welcome To "One on One"
Welcome to "One on One"
“One on One” is a coaching, counseling and consulting practice that serves individuals, couples, families and business leaders. With offices in the Texas Hill Country (Fredericksburg), Houston, TX, and Spirit Lake, IA, we work with clients both in person and remotely (phone or Zoom).
I’m Paul Feiler (pronounced “Filer”), and I want you to know that I created “One on One” for you. Throughout my career as a pastor, business executive, professor, strategy consultant and life/executive coach, my dominant desire has been to help the people in my life thrive. The key word here is “help.” I really can’t change anyone, but I can use what I’ve learned to help those who want to change, and to motivate and inspire those who may feel stuck. I help clients by listening, supporting, strategizing, counseling, coaching, partnering, building capabilities, recommending resources, and caring.
The approach I use with you is the same that I use in my own life to manage my emotions, focus my thoughts, set my priorities, and live my life according to my life’s purpose. Like you, I have weaknesses and strengths. I’ve had failures and successes. I’ve grieved what were for me terrible losses. I’ve had to solve complex problems and resolve big conflicts. Along the way, I’ve learned a lot. Great mentors, teachers and counselors have helped me grow toward better health, greater emotional intelligence, stronger rationality, better decision-making, and deeper spirituality, all of which I try to pull together to help me be a more loving husband and father, to promote the well-being of my clients, and do my part to contribute to the common good (community, country, world).
Each week I have wonderful, honest, transformational conversations with individuals, couples/families and business leaders. Our talks are confidential and cover a variety of topics. I’ve listed some here:
- Manage stress, changes, and time
- Control anger and aggression
- Support in times of illness, loss, grief, loneliness, and sadness
- Enrich marriage and deal with marital or family differences
- Experience better physical health and emotional intelligence
- Deal with issues related to the overuse of social media
- Deepen understanding of faith, life purpose and relevance in the world
- Achieve personal and professional goals
- Increase leadership and managerial effectiveness at work
- Develop, define and execute business strategy
- Improve communication and people skills
- Better manage work stress and work/life issues
- Define business mission, vision and values
- Solve complex business issues
