WHAT IS COACHING?

Coaching is an advanced way of relating that produces results for a client more quickly than if the client worked alone. The partnership between coach and client exists for the sole purpose of fostering and supporting the client's success. As your coach, I’m behind you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing you with support, compassion, resources, focus, and a sounding board for your ideas. Coaching sessions provide you with focus and clarity, minimizing obstacles to the results you desire.

Basic elements of the coaching relationship are:

Who You Are. As your coach, I’ll help you to clarify your values, purpose, and heartfelt desires. I work with people who are already doing well but want to grow much more quickly and to accomplish far more than they have previously been able to accomplish on their own.

What You Want. Coaches are hired by people who decide to accomplish something specific in their personal or professional lives; to enhance their quality of life; or to help them to more effectively discern, develop, and share their unique gifts.
