According to the International Coach Federation, “professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives.”
That’s it, in a nutshell. For you to really understand coaching, I recommend taking advantage of my offer of a free coaching session.

    Professional coaching hinges on three elements: understanding, choice, and action.
Each is necessary for lasting change.

    If you are an individual seeking coaching services,

    If you are a couple or partnership seeking coaching services,

    If you are an agency or corporation seeking coaching services for your staff,

    If you are a band or musical ensemble seeking coaching services, read on...

Individual coaching:

    Are you looking for someone to:

    Bounce ideas off?

    Give you a reality check?

    See your best self?

    Support you?

    Challenge you?

    Hold out for the best possible outcome?

    Hold you accountable?

    Coaching will help you move toward your goals, large and small, by asking the difficult questions and holding you accountable to your own answers and commitments. In other words, you’ve got someone who will keep you to your word. No more resolutions that peter out before getting done! The content of coaching varies with the client. For some, accountability to a “to do” list is the greatest service possible. For others, what is offered is more like a “to be” list, helping you to be whoever you were born to be. You decide what will serve you best.

    An individual seeking coaching services first has the opportunity to sign up for a complimentary coaching session. I want you to know what you are getting before you make this important decision. This is a 45 minute telephone conversation which includes 30 minutes of coaching on the topic of your choice plus 15 minutes to discuss how coaching might work for you and an opportunity to ask any questions you have about me or the process of coaching.

    Once you make the decision to hire me as your coach, we set up a first appointment. During this first call, we will lay the groundwork for the future. We will explore the foundations of who you are as a person so that all future work will be grounded in your unique personality. This is not cookie cutter coaching! We will also discuss how to best work together. Once the initial groundwork is completed, we will have four weekly ½ hour telephone calls per month (this is the most common schedule, though variations are certainly possible). You can expect every call to be valuable to you.
