How I Work

Life, Health, and Small Business Coaching

Coaching is a process.   My background allows me to use this process to help clients with different challenges.  I believe that we all have the wisdom within us to figure out the solutions to our challenges.  My job is to listen for my clients’ potential, help them uncover their inner wisdom, and facilitate their self-awareness. After bringing this wisdom and self-awareness to the surface we then set goals and design action strategies to achieve them.  Clients derive the greatest benefit from coaching when they are willing to be challenged, learn, grow, and take action. 

The coaching process begins by identifying clients' priorities, opportunities, and challenges and then framing their desired outcomes as goals. As the process unfolds I use powerful questioning to increase self-awareness, produce fresh insights, and to energize and inspire forward progress.  I use an appreciative approach which emphasizes what’s right, what’s working, what’s wanted, and what’s needed. It incorporates discovery based inquiry, proactive rather than reactive ways of managing opportunities and challenges, and a focus on the  solution rather than the problem.

What You Can Expect From Me:

As my client you can expect committed partnership, unconditional support, positive feedback, structure, and occasional suggestions.  I will encourage you to envision your future whether that future is tomorrow or ten years from now.  When you decide what you want your future to look like I will help you design a roadmap for your journey and work with you to establish goals you previously thought were unattainable.  I do this using a solution focused approach. I have no agenda other than to forward yours because, after all, you are the architect of your future. My approach is questioning and challenging, but it is also supportive, creative, energizing, and a little bit playful, but I will also gently hold you accountable for the actions you commit to take.  I care about each of my clients and my goal is to help you to succeed.

What I Can Help You Do:

Dream in Technicolor
I help you allow yourself to dream in Technicolor then give those vibrant dreams legs  by setting goals that are clearly in line with your personal and/or professional values.

Have a balanced life
Success is maximized when you enjoy a sense of personal fulfillment and life balance. We’ll discuss how to balance your personal, professional, and family life without always putting yourself last.

Make better decisions
I help you become focused as you, in confidence, share feelings and insights with me. The agenda, however, is yours.  Just talking about your options with someone who really listens is often enough to clarify your thoughts.

Reach for more – much more
When you have a collaborative partner who you trust and who will support your actions, you will be inspired to face your challenges.

Have more energy
Together we’ll identify the things that drain your energy and create long-term strategies to eliminate them.  We’ll focus on what gives you energy, explore how to maximize its impact, and investigate lifestyle adjustments.
