WHAT IS COACHING?

What is the value of coaching?

Coaching helps to empower others, influencing ever-widening circles of confidence and positive growth. Coaching helps individuals find that which is within them – or within their reach, through partnering, development of a close alliance, active listening, thoughtful questioning, and creative collaboration. Coaching can help in so many different ways: pursuing intentional development, driving career transition, enhancing personal and/or team performance, sorting through specific life challenges, or making comprehensive life changes. Coaching can focus on individuals and/or groups and teams, enabling wholesale changes across an organization.

We work together to uncover and unleash the greatest potential within, helping enable greater effectiveness and satisfaction.

What makes an ideal client?

I find satisfaction in working with many different groups of people, but primarily those who are self-motivated, self-curious, and interested in forward development. I work with individuals and teams who are fully invested in the process of bettering themselves.

I enjoy working with professionals who are seeking to enhance organizational effectiveness, create a stronger team, strengthen their personal performance, or embark on a journey of career transition.

My Philosophy and Approach to Coaching

I like to be very clear up front about the intent of any engagement and the surrounding parameters. At the outset of my engagement with any client, we establish an agenda for our work together. I check in regularly with my client throughout our sessions to ensure we are staying true to the desired agenda, and modify if necessary. I like to be thorough in my coaching, i.e., moving through any assessments that may be pertinent to the coaching engagement, discussing values, passions and strengths, understanding an ideal vision – ideal self and real self - crafting a goal for the future, identifying steps for development, and identifying a means to achieve forward momentum.

I leverage and incorporate homework and other exercises for my coaching clients, enabling them to work with the concepts we’ve explored together during our coaching sessions. Also important to me is ensuring accountability on the part of my clients to pursue and follow-up on exercises we’ve discussed, including check-ins between sessions.
