I work with individuals, seasoned executives and their teams, couples, training groups, innovative twenty-somethings, men and women. Each is facing big change personally or professionally: major projects, leadership development, career transition and life balance. Each is deepening their sense of contribution and satisfaction in life.
In short, if you’re growing in your life and work, and are open to support, mentoring and challenge, you’d probably find coaching a great investment. When you contact me, request of copy of my article, Big Change.
How Does Coaching Work?
My job as a Coach is to help you identify and refine your goals, eliminate the barriers that stand in your way, and help you take the action to make those outcomes your "new normal". I keep an eye on both your long-term “meta-goals” as well as the weekly and monthly steps that will help you get what you want.
We start with in-depth interviewing, some assessments, and a few sessions to deeply understand your strengths, assets, priorities and agenda. I like to launch with regular weekly sessions to give us a solid start. Clients work with me either in my office at Lake Union or over the phone (or Skype).
Through the years, first as a pastoral counselor, then as a therapist and now as a coach, my clients have shown me that their most meaningful successes build on their willingness to consider and test new ideas and to learn from their experiences, using our coaching relationship as a home-base of acknowledgment, challenge, mentoring and support.
