Spiritual Life Coaching.  Grow a new life.
About Me

 



My name is Art Gangel. I am an IAC-certified Life Coach. I specialize in helping people discover and live into their greatness or passion.  My goal is to help you discover what makes you feel fully alive and to equip you with the tools to live life in that direction.  I also work with other aspiring coaches, helping them become full time Life Coaches.

I was born and raised in the Kansas City area, and currently live in Kansas City, Kansas with my wife, son, and daughter. I enjoy connecting with new people and have a passion for learning and personal development. I enjoy books, movies, and music that inspire and fuel me on my journey.

I strive to be an artist, a constant learner, and a teacher. Each day, I try to laugh, create, learn, and help others grow to their fullest potential. It's a passion of mine (dare I say "calling"?). The world is my classroom, test lab, and playground. But I'm not interested in learning for learning's sake. If I can't apply something that I've learned, if it doesn't make a practical difference
in my life or others' lives, then I don't keep brain space for it.

 

 The question I apply to all I learn is: How does it change how I LIVE?

Mission Statement

It is my personal mission to lift others up and help them achieve their dreams, grow closer to God, and truly live rather than to merely exist.

In order to accomplish this mission, I live a life of discipline, walking with God in the daily, life-giving practices that help me create space for Him in my life and build strength to follow His will.

I am fully engaged in life.  I employ a high standard of integrity which flows through all aspects of my life.  I grow in love and compassion each day, in my relationships with God, my wife, children, and family and friends. 

I commit to a daily connection with my mind, body, and spirit, with nature, God, and those I love and encounter.  I believe you are always moving forward or backward.  To continue moving forward, I commit to daily learning, nurturing of my talents, and exploration of new ones. 

 
Values

Before choosing a coach, it's important to know what they value. These are my core values. I look forward to learning about your values to help me make sure each session is relevant to you. Please bear in mind that these are ideals. I don't pretend to live these all the time. I just do my best every day, which is all we can ask of ourselves.

  • Relationship with God: I trust everything that occurs in my life happens according to God's plan. Even when I am challenged or disappointed, it serves a higher purpose. I have a personal relationship with God, just like with any friend and mentor. We talk every day. He is always there for me. I don't take his gifts or love for granted. I do all I can to serve him each day.

  • Learning: I am learning each day, each moment. Instead of feeling like I have all the answers, I remain in a posture of openness and humility. I learn from everyone I meet and talk to, and from every experience.
  • Having fun: Life is a blast. I really enjoy meeting new people, seeing new places, and having new experiences. In short, every experience is also a chance to have fun. I invest my life in those things that are fun and fulfilling for me.
  • Rhythm: I embrace the cyclical nature of life, engaging in daily and weekly rhythms with intentional times of recovery.  I also recognize that there is a time and place for everything.  All my priorities coexist peacefully and constructively, supporting one another.

  • Creativity: I am a co-creator of my life with God.  I accept that all aspects of my life are results of the choices I have made on a regular basis and fully accept and own this fact.  I co-create my life consciously instead of placing the ownership of my life outside of myself.  I embrace each day as an opportunity to continue creating the life I really want.
