COACHING PRINCIPLES

I believe strongly that people by their very nature are creative, resourceful, and whole. They are fully capable. Capable of learning, finding answers, making choices, taking action, and recovering when things have not gone as planned.

I see people as whole human beings: heart, mind, body, and spirit. My attention is broad, I focus on the whole person and the whole life which involves listening on many levels. Understanding that decisions are taken in one area of business/ private life inevitably ripples through all areas of business/home life. There is always a larger picture at play that includes the whole person.

I create deeper awareness and expanded capacity for clients so they can see more of what's possible, gain or recover inner strength and resourcefulness to evolve, grow, and expand from one area of focus into many avenues of their life. I help clients find muscles they don't know they have or have forgotten they have.

I help my clients find and experience a business/private life that is with purpose and service. I hold a vision to help them reach their full potential.

Balance is about choice. I help clients widen their range of perspectives, therefore adding more available choices. I help them identify if they are moving towards or away from balance.

My role as a coach is to notice, point out, and be with my clients where ever they are in their process. I offer encouragement and support, provide companionship during more difficult periods, and celebrate their skill and success at navigating through the challenging times.

COACHING SKILLS:

I listen for the meaning behind the story, for the underlying process, the theme that can help to deepen the learning. I listen on many levels to hear exactly where you are in your process, to hear where you are out of balance, to hear your progress on the path of fulfillment

I listen and act on my intuition helping to quickly cut through the "analysis paralysis" and reactive emotions and get to the core problem and potential solutions.

Being curious with my clients, opens and invites space and playfulness into the sessions which are powerful. It helps the client to become more curious and more willing to look in dark places and try new things because they too become curious.

My intention is always to bring an equal amount of action and learning into coaching. When you combine these two complementary forces, action, and learning equally, change is created.

You are central. It's about you, not me. I set aside personal opinions, preferences, pride, defensiveness, and ego. I am immersed in your situation and struggle, not busy with my own thoughts and judgments. I see no right or wrong way, only your way. You know what's right for you.
