A Coach Approach

Coaching is a unique methodology--a process designed jointly by coach and client.

It is not directive advice, counseling, or therapy, and may address overall goals, specific projects, or general conditions in the client's life or profession.

This process is non-judgemental, transparent, and designed to build your confidence. It forges relationships based on trust and safety through conversations that are thoughtful and lead to awareness first, followed by strategic action.

This Is The Power of Coaching.

My coaching practice incorporates the International Coach Federation’s (ICF) core competencies. I hold myself to a clear code of ethics. And, I also get my own coaching. I am a believer.

The system I used is known as 'Developmental Coaching' which is core to Personal, Career, and Leadership growth.

Coaching individuals from a developmental perspective acknowledges there is a deep belief in the idea that you are whole, capable, resourceful, and creative.

That the role of the coach is to support you to bring out your insights and wisdom.

In short, we are partners with a common goal in a co-creative process which is designed to help you create positive change and growth in both your professional and personal life .

1. YOUR VISION

The conversation holds the greater vision for your life yet stays in the place of where you are in the moment.

I help you address your immediate situation while also holding the bigger vision you've shared. I provide exercises and tools ithat naturally expand your thinking.

2. YOUR VOICE

Through intentional listening, my role is to know what you are saying even when you can't express it as well as you would like.

My goal is to help you to feel understood and heard. The conversation is fluid and does not end in semantics or self–help jargon.

Change can be difficult and at times, the process may be uncomfortable. No matter how it goes, you'll be in a better place moving forward.

3. YOUR PROGRESS

You discover how to consistently move forward and let go of old ideas and beliefs that hold you back.

You will gain evidence you're making progress. You're not talking in circles, and I help you zero in and keep the conversation focused on your needs, boundaries, and values no matter how much or how easily it could go off track. Each conversation helps in some way to move you forward.

4. YOUR TRUTH

As your coach, I provide a clean slate.

I have no agenda and no bias with regard to your choices, actions and ultimate decisions. Rather than telling, making suggestions, providing solutions, or treating symptoms, my role is to help you to discover and explore things from a different perspective at a deeper level.

I help you reveal YOUR truth. A plan isn't created without your permission.

5. YOUR CONFIDENCE

You can't ever remember how you were thinking before the conversation.

Coaching conversations are stimulating, invigorating, and helps alters your mindset. You leave the conversation with a different way of thinking that empowers you to move forward. You have a new direction and/or a new perspective.

As a result, you feel more confident about managing challenges. You are able to proceed from a new mindset with different thoughts and inspiring ideas.

6. YOUR VIEWS

My process will help you make permanent changes, not temporary ones.

A new perspective propels you forward, not just in your current situation but also in future challenges. The nature of the process supports you in making internal and emotional shifts as well as intellectual ones. I help you to experience things from your greater truth and extend your capacity to express your authenticity.

7. YOUR TRUST

The process is so effective ultimately because there is great trust and rapport.

The trust we establish allows you to feel free to share your tru thoughts, feelings and challenges. Although it may be uncomfortable, you are able to admit and articulate the real blocks in your life because your desire to lay it on the line is greater than your desire to avoid and resist your own progress.

8. YOUR GROWTH

My role is to be willing to share and be honest even when it's difficult.

Our work together empowers you to grow, see the truth, and dismantle fears, so you can free yourself from self–imposed limits. I will point out when your thinking is based on perception rather than truth, thus allowing you to explore and expand possibilities.

It is not about right or wrong – but rather about seeing another perspective, another angle, or another point of view.

9. YOUR ANCHOR

I'm on your side, unconditionally open, totally objective, and accessible.

I am your advocate and lI isten to the best part of you. When you reveal yourself, it is a sign that the best part of you is being championed and supported. You have access to me even at times not previously scheduled. Your making an extra request of time and accessibility is considered and honored because it reflects your investment in the process.

10. YOUR STRENGTHS

I help you make both short-term and long-term, permanent changes.

When you are faced with future challenges, you will likely recall our many of the exercises and tools in your mind and you'll be able to use ideas, principles, insights, realizations, and 'aha's' from previous conversations. With our ongoing conversations, you are more likely to experiment and take advantage of more opportunities.

My coaching services may include setting priorities, establishing goals, identifying resources, brainstorming, creating action plans, asking clarifying questions, and providing models, examples, and in-the-moment skills training.

My promise to you is that all information you provide me, as well as all representatives of my company, will be kept strictly confidential, as permissible by law.

Throughout our coaching relationship, I will engage in direct and personal conversations, which will include asking you explicit questions, making requests, and serving as a mentor offering explicit advice and direction.

The purpose of our work together is to help you craft a new vision, gain a clear direction, set goals, create a plan, brainstorm, remind you of your own intentions and needs, and guide and support you to realize them.
