Professional coaching focuses on setting goals, working towards greater fulfillment, and making and managing personal change. It is present and future focused and taps into what things you most value and want to have more of in your life. The emphases are on action, accountability, and follow through. The assumption in coaching is that individuals or teams can generate their own solutions with the coach providing thoughtful questioning and framework.

No. Therapy often focuses on your past up to your present, resolving difficulties and dysfunction and conflict from the past that hamper emotional functioning in the present.

Consultants are retained for their expertise and are often hired to diagnose problems and prescribe and sometimes implement solutions.

You will learn more about this in our half-hour complimentary coaching Discovery session, where we’ll establish whether we have good coaching chemistry and that you are ready for the active partnership of a coaching relationship. Should we move forward with a coaching package, we will start out with a Strategy Session that allows us to get to know each other better and allows us to design our coaching partnership. As your coach, I bring no personal agenda or judgment and will create a safe space for you to think things through, dare to dream, or perhaps articulate for the first time. I will ask questions, listen, and sometimes challenge you so that you are reminded of your full potential and aren't settling for less in your life. My role is to support you, in service to what you are wanting for yourself — even if at first you are not certain what that is. We can uncover it together.

Working with a coach would be helpful if you are experiencing any or some combination of the following: (1) Your magic needs to be identified, along with how best to leverage it. (2) There is an urgent or compelling challenge or opportunity in front of you. (3) A gap exists in knowledge, skills, confidence, or resources preventing you from achieving your goals. (4) There is a desire to accelerate results or a lack of clarity with choices to be made. (5) Achieving success has become challenging. (6) Work and life are out of balance, creating unwanted consequences.
