Personal & Executive Coaching
A successful coaching relationship represents a trusted partnership between the coach and client. Both parties must feel that they can share ideas freely in a secure environment. As a fully certified coach I honor my clients as the expert in his or her own life. I believe they are creative, resourceful and whole with the inner wisdom to know how to solve their challenges.
Watch a couple of quick videos on how coaching can benefit you.
Standing on this foundation, my responsibility is to:
- Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve
- Encourage client self-discovery
- Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies
- Hold the client responsible and accountable
This process helps my clients dramatically improve their outlook on work and life and unlocking their potential.
Some Frequently Asked Questions:
To determine whether you or your company could benefit from coaching, start by summarizing what you would expect to accomplish in coaching. When an individual or business has a fairly clear idea of the desired outcome, a coaching partnership can be a useful tool for developing a strategy for how to achieve that outcome with greater ease.
Since coaching is a partnership, ask yourself whether collaboration, other viewpoints, and new perspectives are valued. Also, ask yourself whether you or your business is ready to devote the time and the energy to making real changes. If the answer is yes, then coaching may be a beneficial way to grow and develop.
An individual or team might choose to work with a coach for many reasons, including but not limited to the following:
- Something urgent, compelling or exciting is at stake (a challenge, stretch goal or opportunity)
- A gap exists in knowledge, skills, confidence or resources
- A desire to accelerate results
- A lack of clarity with choices to be made
- Success has started to become problematic
- Work and life are out of balance, creating unwanted consequences
- Core strengths need to be identified, along with how best to leverage them
Your strengths are not only what you do well, but those activities and talents that energize, excite and engage you. Values are important beliefs, attitudes and philosophies that influence the way we live our lives. Goals that are driven by strengths and values are more meaningful, personal and ultimately attainable than those goals that may not match our value systems. I can help you clarify your strengths and values and apply them to develop your aspirations and vision.
