Coaching and You

Coaching empowers you. It is a time for you to be heard. Being heard is both powerful and empowering. It validates who you are as a person, giving you the impetus for forward movement and growth. The goal is not just for me to hear you, but for you to be heard by yourself. Hearing yourself means that you understand who you are on a more fundamental level, and that understanding leads to change.

Coaching is a positive, co-created and coequal relationship that empowers a person to become their best self.

Coaching sessions are a safe place to brainstorm. Through coaching, you are empowered to come up with creative solutions to simplify your life and become more effective.

Coaching creates a change environment. You are free to explore, dream and discover without inhibition. Together we examine challenges in your life, helping you to think through them in more creative ways.

Coaching nurtures accountability. Accountability takes dreams and plans and puts power behind them that drives change. By being accountable for the action steps from each coaching session, new solutions can become new realities.

What Coaching is not...

  • Counseling - Counseling focuses on the past and on healing. Coaching focuses on the future and on moving forward. Creating the future.

  • Therapy - Therapy, like counseling, is about healing the hurts in the past or moving beyond psychological issues. This is not the focus of coaching. Coaching looks to the future to build a better you for tomorrow.

  • Consulting - The consulting relationship is one of expert and non-expert. The Coaching relationship is coequal and what you have to say carries just as much weight as what I have to say. As a coach, the expertise I bring are my listening and asking skills honed by my education and training. I am not the expert on your life or your business. You are!
