FAQs about Coaching

The essence of coaching is a partnership - one that raises awareness and unlocks your personal and professional potential. There are just as many approaches to coaching as there are coaches. This is mine:

• I serve you. My agenda is your agenda. Your goals are my goals. 

• I don't give you the answers, because I don't have them. I believe you have the answers inside you, and our job is to find them together.

• My first priority is that you feel safe, supported, and heard - without judgment.

• My second priority is that you feel challenged. Being a true coach makes it my job to ask you the tough questions, challenge you when necessary, and help you hold yourself accountable to what you want in life.

Anyone who wants to transform their life - or a part of their life - and is ready to take responsibility for making that change happen. Whether you're 17 or 71, coaching can help you develop self-awareness, discover meaningful insights, and take real action to move yourself forward.

All coaching focuses on you, your motivations, your inner beliefs and thoughts, and your actions. The difference is in the goal of the work:

Life Coaching is a holistic process that centers your overall fulfillment and satisfaction in life. The areas we choose to focus on - career, family relationships, health, etc. - are specific to you and your goals.

Leadership Coaching is more focused on improving your impact as a leader, whether you want to inspire your team, get the next promotion, or define your leadership brand.

We will work together for 6-12 months, meeting by phone or zoom every other week. After our introductory call, we will start with a deeper discovery session, where we explore what you are looking to get out of coaching, and what you're hoping to change in your life. We'll define your unique goals and set those as our north star for working together.

Throughout our time together, we will work through:

• Identifying your core values - the guiding principles you use to make decisions and set priorities in your life

• Building awareness and mindfulness - identifying the emotions and thoughts that are guiding your actions and decisions

• Shifting limiting beliefs - consciously changing the thought and belief patterns that no longer serve you 

• Creating a vision for where you want to go, and who you want to become - practicing new thoughts, exploring new identities, and iterating as needed

Because these practices only come to life within real-life situations and struggles, the specific topic and outcome of each session is determined by you. Together, we incorporate the right coaching tools to help you work through that topic and start to build toward your larger goals.
