What is coaching?
Coaching is a powerful, ongoing relationship that helps you focus and realize your visions and goals. Working with a Professional Coach, you will acquire the tools and support to remove obstacles in order to facilitate change. You will explore fresh ways of being in this world, as you release old habits and conditioned reactions that have stopped working for you. Rather than trying to gather information you need or to learn how to fix something, coaching sessions are an opportunity to discover what is already within you.

How does Coaching work?
Typically, individual coaching is done by telephone, Skype , Zoom or in person, for an agreed upon number of sessions per month for a set amount and duration.
What is a typical Coaching session like?
The hallmark of Coaching is self-responsibility. The client sets the agenda for the session; the coach follows that agenda. You can expect powerful and clarifying questions to be asked, the use of focused and fine-tuned planning tools, and the need for accountability. The coach will support you thoroughly, as you tap into your own creativity and wholeness while listening to your heart.
How many sessions are recommended?
Results vary from person to person. Some people feel immediate shifts in one or two sessions. Others may need more support that continues for several months or even years. Generally speaking, it is recommended to start with a three-month commitment (2 sessions per month for three months). Once the initial goals/outcomes are fulfilled, additional topics and focus may be revealed for which you may wish to continue the Coaching.
