My Coaching Philosophy

This coaching is intended to support efforts you are making to align your focus, decisions, and efforts with the results that are most important to your long-term success. The coaching process is also intended to support your efforts to create joy and develop insights on what you value most and what that means for what comes next.

Our coaching begins with the idea that you are highly knowledgeable about your own personal and professional development and are creative and resourceful. I will rarely offer unsolicited advice in our coaching sessions, because of my philosophy that what I might ‘do’ in a given situation has nothing to do with who you are and the unique challenges and opportunities you face.

As a coach, my primary role is to draw out your insights through inquiry, curiosity, and challenges that help you increase your capacity to notice what is important to you and make decisions by tapping into your inherent wisdom about your own life. My secondary role is to offer you the support you need to use that wisdom to show up and achieve what you intend.

Even if your primary goal/s are work related, I will coach you as a whole person to any include personal issues that may impact your goals or your work life. We will work to ensure that our coaching efforts align with and support efforts in other areas of your life.

Throughout the coaching relationship, I will engage you in direct, honest, and purposeful conversations and observations. I will be compassionate but honest — which means I might say things no one else will say and I may be very direct. I will seek to help you see things that you cannot yet see, notice things about what moves you, and support you to have more clarity about your options and what matters most to you.

My overall intention is that the coaching process not only helps you realize the ‘big agenda’ that we set at the beginning but further supports you to use all the challenges and opportunities you are facing to build a deeper, more meaningful, and more connected life. 

We will co-design work for you to do between sessions, which will be critical to realizing your coaching goals and outcomes. This work in between our coaching sessions will be critical to your success.

Individual Coaching Packages

It is my experience that a longer commitment to coaching and to your ‘big agenda’ makes it more likely that you will achieve and transform in the way you intend and my pricing reflects that. But you know you and your budget best. Please work with the below rates to find what works best for you and please also reach out if what works best for you is not below.
