Outside Edge Life Coaching

Individual Coaching

Step into freedom and start living the adventure! Individual life coaching will help give you the direction, focus, and drive you need to move forward boldly.

Individual life coaching empowers you to move into the future with intention:

          - Clear away confusion and find direction on the road of life
           - Gain fresh perspective of where you are and where you're headed
           - Explore options in a confidential, encouraging, non-judging environment
           - Move forward with a person who is fully focused on you and where you want to go
           - Design the future you want with a compelling vision, purpose, and clear goals

Sessions are usually held over the phone, which eliminates geographical barrier and provides convenience and flexibility for you. Sessions can include time to process through whatever is happening in your journey, exploring options, goal setting, and accountability.

We sell coaching in "blocks" which include four 30-minute calls, unlimited email, and occasional brief "touch base" calls to recenter, encourage, or re-direct your work. Usually we ask clients to consider engaging in coaching for three months, but that doesn't mean they are committed to or have to pay for more than a month at a time.

Seminars and Workshops

Empower, motivate, and inspire your group, company, or church with one of these high-energy seminars or workshops.

Outside Edge coach Mike Ege has passion, energy, and humor that brings any gathering to life. His audiences consistently report that his on-the-edge style is thought-provoking and action-inspiring. He gives presentations in a variety of settings including conferences, community groups, churches, civic organizations, and organizational meetings.

Mike can custom design a talk to fit your need, or he can share one or more of the following:

           - An Honest Look at a Leader's Heart. The heart of a leader can be a wonderful and terrible thing. Each of us called to lead bears a responsibility to examine our internal world and become wise managers of all that lies there. In this seminar we will take an honest look at motivations, pitfalls, and gifts of the leader's heart.

           - A Backpacker's Guide to Life. Backpacking is more than just throwing on a pack and hiking. After we have walked a few miles, truths within us come to the surface about who and how we really are, whether we like it or not. In this seminar we will look at transferable concepts that we can use in everyday life to help us grow.

           - The Difference One Life Can Make. Sometimes those of us who have served long and hard forget how influential we can be with the simple decisions we make every day. In this seminar you will find encouragement to push on in the journey as we share stories of hope and unavoidable truths of what it means to impact lives.

Wilderness Trips

Be challenged and experience radical transformation as you explore the wilderness of life in the wildernesses of nature.

No place seems a more powerful birthplace for radical life transformation than the wilderness. While it can be in many forms, the wildernesses of nature are at the heart of who we are at Outside Edge Coaching.

Transformation in the Wilderness
We are active outdoors enthusiasts with frequent wilderness adventures. Our personal favorite is backpacking in the backcountry. Beyond the pleasure of enjoying nature and a good challenge, we have found benefits at a much deeper level. Especially when combined with a life coaching approach, you will notice:

           - The mountains become a classroom for growth and change in a way that can't be found anywhere else.

           - Problems, challenges, decisions, and major life choices look different when you get away from the fast-track of daily life.

           - Walls of routine and familiar life patterns come tumbling down, creating space for something new to be built in their place.

           - Through experiential challenge in the outdoors, you learn to embrace life differently and then take these lessons back into the real world.

           - You have the freedom to thrive in and environment where your heart is wide open for change.

Ready for an adventure?

We have been leading backpack trips into the wilderness for almost 30 years. And with that level of experience we have found numerous "life lessons" along the trail that transfer to life when not on the trail. We can design a trip to fit your level of expertise (or lack there of). Our trips are challenging, fun, stretching, and promise to show you some wilderness most people will only see in a magazine.

The largest wilderness area in Colorado is outside our back door - the famous Weminuche Wilderness. If you include the national forests that surround it, we have access to 4 million acres of nature to explore!

We are available to host a trip here in the Colorado Rockies or near where you live. We have experience in leading trips in California, Utah, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Arkansas, Missouri, Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, Indiana, and West Virginia. We can custom design a trip for any need!

Trips can run from just a couple days up to 10 days. With 1500 miles of experience, you can count on expert guidance and coaching along the way.
