Coaching FAQs
Why coaching?
- Everyone wants satisfaction in their lives and careers, we have too few models of how to do that
- We owe it to ourselves AND our kids to be happy working people
- Many of us have been doing the same thing for so long, we end up doing what we’ve always done rather than what we want to do.
- If you are open and ready for change, it’s hard to know where to begin.
What is coaching?
- A smart focused conversation designed to make a difference about the way you experience things and envision your life.
- Confronting old patterns when they get in your way, so you can make sustainable changes now.
- Gaining clarity on what balance looks like for you and provides you with knowledge and resources to implement change
- As a coach, I affirm or challenge you based on what I think is in your best interest. The answers themselves come from you.
How does it work?
- Customized: This work is not one sized fits all. It’s designed for your unique needs, values and priorities.
- Measurable: We set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-Sensitive) goals to give our work focus. They become a tool for determining how successful we are in our progress.
- Documented: If we work together for an extended period of time, I will document your progress toward your goals, and the indicators of success for our work together.
