Coaching provides ongoing supportive and challenging relationships that brings out your best. I provide your business and personal life help that enables you to have the acheivements and successes you desire and deserve. By being there to observe, encourage and empower you through personal growth insight and communication. Personal Life and Business Coaching provides a flexible framework that enables you to recognize your abilities and strengths to make better use of your opportunities. Coaching is a partnership in closing the gap between where you are now and where you want to be.

Lets look an example:

Today is the first day of Teri's resolution to exercise.

As she pushes her bike out of storage, she thinks of how many years it has been since she has seen her bike, let alone ridden it!

A Therapist comes along and asks her about her PAST experiences riding a bike. He discusses the source of some of her anxiety about riding the bike, suggests mechanisms to cope with the anxiety, and leaves.
A Consultant comes along and approaches Teri, and begins TELLING her about the optimum height of the seat, the best quality tires and desired tire pressure, and suggests where to buy them for the best price, then leaves.
A Coach appears and encourages Teri to get on the bike, steadies it and then proceeds to jog along side as Teri rides the bike down the street.

You report on the successes and problems you faced during the week, and how you handled them, what you are currently working on and how it is going. We discuss what actions you need to take next and any new skills you want to develop. You become focused as you share ideas with me and we look at them objectively. A plan is formed for moving forward.

Yes, because I work mainly by telephone and e-mail. You can be anywhere in the world and be effectively coached. Coaching by phone allows you to be comfortable in your own home or office, places you feel secure and less distracted. You feel more free to be yourself in your discussions.

Yes, coaching works because you define what you want from yourself. Together with your coach you make a plan so that every week you move closer to where you want to be. The coaching is given with encouragement, accountability and even some humor!

Coaching is Completely Confidential. We DO NOT share your information with anyone at anytime.
Client confidentiality is the highest, most important aspect of the coaching ethic.

Coaching is not Therapy or Consulting. We work on your strengths and going forward, not rescuing you from your past. It is based on the premise that you are a normal person, burning out, burnt out, stopped in your career, possibly sucessful but still not satisfied. Are you a person who may be living someone else's dreams and not their own? Coaching is for those who wish to streamline, uncomplicate and enjoy their life to it's fullest potential.
