After an initial session to clarify your goals and objectives, we will agree on the steps you will take to reach them, as well as the order in which you will take those steps and the pace that best fits your life circumstances. Some people can devote their full attention to the process and move very quickly, while others who are balancing a variety of commitments may have to take a more incremental approach.  The beauty of coaching is that there is no “one size fits all.” It will always be about you, your life, and your possibilities. You will be the one to decide how much you want to accomplish and how fast you want to get there, while I will:

• Guide the process.

• Keep you focused on the big picture.

• Ask questions to clarify situations and identify resources.

• Assist you in recognizing your personal values and aligning your efforts with them.

• Encourage you to make and keep commitments to yourself.

• Provide feedback.

• Join with you in brainstorming and problem-solving when you face obstacles.

The frequency of follow-up sessions will be part of the plan we agree upon at the first session, but usually weekly sessions will be most helpful to clients’ process in the early stages, followed by less-frequent progress checks along the way. A commitment to the process for a set term, such as three months, is also most helpful in a coaching relationship.

Coaching is effective via telephone connection as well as face-to-face.
