Coaching is a process that helps you:
- Solve problems and meet challenges
- Reach goals
- Design a plan of action
- Make decisions
In addition, the coach "stays with" you to:
- Implement the plan of action, dynamically modifying it when necessary and working through any obstacles.
- Maintain a healthy balance between your personal and professional life.
- Keep looking ahead to take advantage of opportunities, which are just now formulating.
- Bring out your best, keeping focused on your needs, values and vision.
In other words, coaching is a collaborative, supportive and encouraging relationship, focused on your success. It provides structure, focus, and accountability, which help you accomplish more than you ever believed possible.
Coaching is all about you - your goals, your dreams. It's all encompassing and develops the whole person, allowing you to make better, more informed decisions for yourself.
- People working on specific goals
- People who want more out of life
- People wanting to simplify life
- People who want a structure of accountability
- People who want support
- People who do too much

You will be challenged to go beyond where you would go yourself.
You will have someone with whom you can explore options.

Coaching leads to
greater effectiveness, which leads to greater productivity, which leads
to increased retention and a larger profit.
Is a coach like a therapist?
No. A coach does not deal with issues of the past. A coach deals with
successful healthy people who want to go to the next level in their professional
and personal lives.
What should I expect?
This will vary depending on the services you desire. Individual coaching
sessions are usually done via telephone. I provide three 45-minute sessions
each month, usually during the first three weeks of the month. Also included
is unlimited e-mail access and between call check-ins. Group or private
coaching sessions for corporate clients can be in person or via telephone
and are structured to fit the needs of the organization.
Is it confidential?
Yes, absolutely. Coaching is a profession with its own procedures, technology,
standards, ethics, and certification process. Confidentiality is a tenet
of the coaching profession.
Can I hire a coach for a specific short-term
project or goal?
Yes, some clients hire a coach to help them accomplish specific projects
or goals.
What is the commitment if I start working
with a coach?
Although there is no obligation, I suggest you consider a minimum three
to six month commitment. This provides the time and continuity needed
to produce the initial results you desire.
What makes the coaching relationship work?
Coaching is a professional collaboration between you and your coach that
helps create and focus your momentum toward success. Better, stronger
goals are set. Strategies are created and implemented to reach those goals.
Weekly coaching sessions provide support and accountability. This type
of structure allows you to take bigger risks than you normally would,
which leads to greater success and enhanced performance.
