Coaching is a client-focused and directed partnership in which a coach and a client come together to accomplish a specific goal. Coaches lead clients through a process of discovering where they are now, where they want to be, what roadblocks might be getting in the way and how to remove them. Coaches do not give advice, though we offer tools, resources, and examples of what has worked in our experience and the experience of other clients. The job of a coach is to be supportive, hold space, ask thought provoking questions, and help the client strategize on what action steps they wish to take to make progress toward their goals.

Transformative coaching is a personalized approach that focuses on personal growth, self development, mindset shifts, and healing to help individuals reach their full potential and live more fulfilling lives.

Coaching is not therapy, nor is it a replacement for medical treatment. Coaching is a future focused process of helping clients go from baseline to thriving. Therapy is better suited for processing the past, helping, and recovering from trauma. As a coach, it is my role to help clients stay focused on the future and taking positive action. I am not a trained therapist.  However, If a client is dealing with issues that impede progress in the coaching relationship, I may recommend that they engage with a therapist.

In a consulting relationship, the consultant holds the expertise. They listen to the client’s goals, challenges and problems and proposes solutions based on their subject matter expertise. As a coach, I do not give advice, though I may offer tools, resources, and examples of what has worked in my experience and the experiences of other clients. This is an important distinction, which helps manage expectations in the coach/client relationship.

After the conversation in the discovery call and the mutual decision is made to work together, you will have the ability to explore & purchase sessions that you feel will meet your needs.  During the first session, we will discuss and refine your overall goals. Each session will last 60 minutes and the last 10 minutes we will wrap up the session with a review of what was covered and any steps you may take between sessions to move toward the desired goals.

While we always keep an eye on your long-term goals, it is completely possible that something comes up during session that leads us in a different direction. If you want to follow the new thread, I will go there with you. Together we will find the balance between focus and flexibility, while also checking in to ensure you are not avoiding key actions that could move you forward.

Coaching provides guidance, support, and accountability to help you set and achieve your goals, overcome obstacles, and unlock your full potential.
