What is Coaching?


What it is

Coaching is a unique and powerful professional service that offers customized personal development by speaking only and specifically to you. Coaching offers a safe, non judgmental place for personal exploration and discovery. With coaching, you get an accountability partner, unconditional encouragement, an opportunity to be fully heard, and tools and resources to help you be, do, and have more of what you want.

What it is not

Unlike counseling or therapy, in coaching you are seen as creative, resourceful, and whole, just as you are.  You don’t need to be fixed or improved.  You have more potential than you currently are able to access. The coach is trained to listen and observe in ways that draw out your own wisdom and solutions.  As the client, you enter a co-creative relationship as an equal partner to the coach, and together design strategies and actions to help you create a fuller, richer present and future. 

How it works

Coaching happens in conversation on the telephone.  For each coaching session, you set a specific intention, which serves as the agenda. As the coach, I am your thinking partner.  During our time together, we explore and co-create solutions. I listen openly and actively and ask questions to help you listen to yourself and discover new perspectives.  I don’t diagnose or do the work for you.   You decide what is best for you; I hold you gently accountable for what you agree to do.

Why it works

Coaching works because of three unique features:

Synergy: You, as client and I, as coach form a co-creative relationship, focusing 100% on your desired outcomes so that you can accomplish more than you could alone.

Structure: With a coach, you will take yourself and what you want seriously, think bigger, and take more actions, thanks to having an accountability partner.

Expertise: You know what is best for you. I use my training and experience to help you access your own wisdom and solutions.
 
Is it right for you?

Coaching is a unique, co-creative partnership.   I bring my education, training, and insights with the intention to be of highest service in support of your best You.
