You and your coach will design (and periodically redesign) an ongoing
relationship focused on achieving your goals. Your coach will serve as
an objective, non-judgmental, supportive mirror, and will help you to
figure out who you really are, and what you really want in your life.
Your coach will help you to reveal options and perspectives that might
not otherwise be clear to you, and will assist you in identifying and
dismantling the obstacles that impede your success. A coach will focus
his or her full energy and attention on the objective of achieving your goals.
We charge a monthly fee, or an hourly rate, at the client's option.
Coaching begins by exploring where you are today and where you would like
to go in the future. Through the coaching process, you will define what
steps you need to take to achieve your goals, and with the help of your
coach, you will create an action plan which maps out those steps.
Traditional therapy also begins by exploring where you are today, but then
looks into your past to examine how the client arrived at their current state.
Through this understanding, therapy prepares the client for change in their future.
In this way, the two processes often work hand-in-hand: coaches work with clients
who are generally satisfied and healthy, but who want more from their lives, and
seek support and structure in moving forward more quickly. Coaches may refer clients
to therapists when appropriate.
The process also depends entirely on the effort of the client to move forward. A
coach will encourage you to examine fears, limiting beliefs, and obstacles
directly and will hold you accountable for doing so. While the coach will remain
dedicated to your progress, and will always be your ally, this process is often
emotionally intense. Your willingness to face these situations with honesty and
perseverance will determine your level of success.
Our coaching is typically conducted over the telephone and
e-mail, making it convenient no matter where you live. Our clients are typically
people who are ready to make significant changes to reach the next exciting
stage of their lives. During your initial consultation with a coach, we will determine
whether we are a good coach/client match. If you would like to learn more,
