How it Works

Don't hire a coach if you want someone to tell you what to do.

I see coaching as a partnership, and most definitely an investment in yourself. There is something fairly magical about the coaching conversation that quickly brings to the surface the wisdom that can only happen when two people are aligned for the same purpose, your success. Working with the right coach will inspire you to accomplish your goals more effectively and joyfully than you would on your own.

You certainly want to hire a coach who has some experience and success in the business areas in which you want to grow. But that's not the whole story. As a matter of fact, it's the icing on the cake. Your coach serves your interests in a variety of ways, depending on what you need as you pursue your goals and address the challenges that arise along the way.

Hire a coach if you're looking for someone who will elicit the best in you.

Skilled coaches use a variety of techniques, depending on what seems most appropriate at the moment.

Brainstorming ideas to look beyond where you normally see

Sounding board to enable you to sort through options

Questions that help you tap into your wisdom

Accountability inside a partnership, not a heavy-handed ruler

Guidance and education - the final choice of action is up to you

Mirroring that helps you see what you may not see on your own

Inspiring Stories about others who have dealt with similar issues

Ultimately, coaching is customized to fit your objectives, and where you are in your business and professional development.
