How Coaching Works

Coaching is consistent, long-term, and allows time to go on a path of self-discovery to get to where the client wants to go.

Coaching is a “non-linear” process of identifying one’s commitments in life and uncovering one’s ‘secret agendas’ that we often are not even aware are at work holding us back. Once the mental path is clear of obstacles (fears, wrong assessments, false judgments, misconceptions, etc.), the way is open to achieve one’s desires with miraculous rapidity. (Coaching is best understood through example—via a complimentary coaching session--rather than description.)

Through individual coaching sessions, I work with clients to identify the gap between where they are now and where they want to be in the future—and I help them bridge the gap. As your partner, I am committed to your achievement of your goals and vision, even when you forget to be. Through a structured process of questioning, exploring, and listening—without the emotional attachments or judgments evident with family and friends--I am highly trained to discern where your difficulties may lie and how to get past them,

  • to create a work plan with objectives and milestones that fits your personality and desired level of rigor
  • to keep you motivated and on track with a minimum of slippage or backtracking.
Individual coaching sessions can be held in person but are most often conducted by phone (no travel time). Appointments are frequently scheduled once per week at the client’s convenience for three half-hour sessions per month, but other coaching arrangements can be worked out, depending on the client’s previous coaching experience and needs.

Coaching can help you get organized and manage your life to have what you want with joy and ease.

How does it differ from therapy or business consulting?
A coach does not deal with past emotional issues like therapy but is committed to all aspects of a client’s current and future life working in sync, and not just the specific problem at hand like business consulting. Coaching is consistent, has long-term benefits, and allows time to go on a path of self-discovery to see where the client wants to go and to develop a plan to get her/him there. The coach is committed to the client’s personal best interests and is always in your corner…even when the client is asked to do something seemingly uncomfortable or huge in order to leap forward.

Is it confidential?
Coaching is a profession with its own procedures, standards, technology, ethics, and certification process. What you are doing, how you are doing it, what you have accomplished, and your personal secrets remain absolutely confidential.
