Frequently Asked Questions
Coaching is a form of support that focuses on moving a person from their present circumstances towards their ideal life or goal. My job as a coach is to create a non-judgemental forum where I listen intuitively to what you are saying (and not saying), the energy behind your words and ask the right questions to help get you unstuck and find the answers and actions that resonate for you. While I give feedback based on what I hear, I do not give advice. When a client is present and ready to put in the work, the real transformation is invaluable.
As coach and client we form an important relationship. In each session, I will ask you to come to the table with a topic or goal you would like to work through or towards. Our time together is your opportunity to be truly honest with what is holding you back from living the life you know you are capable of. I will ask you questions based on what I see and hear so that we can begin breaking down messages, assumptions and other learned behavior and build an action plan to get you moving towards your goals. You will have homework between each session and I will be there to help hold you accountable. The work can be hard and may at times feel uncomfortable, but nothing truly good ever comes without doing the hard work!
I know! That’s what I thought years ago too before I worked with my first life coach. At that time I was burned out from juggling a demanding career and having two young kids at home . Through hard work and the desire to truly change my circumstances, I found a new path which included not only a new job, but also a new mindset that enabled me to live a life with less stress and greater fulfilment. This stuff really works if you let it!
No! While I do specialize in coaching women, I have successfully worked with men both 1:1 and as part of group facilitation and workshops. I always offer a free introductory session to make sure we are a mutually good fit.
