Most people hire a coach because they want to achieve something, fix something or make an important change in their life. They want to work on practical things like starting a business, improving a relationship, getting a raise, choosing a new career, coming up with a Life Plan, learning leadership skills, reducing all forms of stress, integrating a disjointed life, getting more done without rushing, and having more fun. As people focus on and clarify their goals and start achieving them, they invariably find that their quality of life improves dramatically. Problems are more easily solved or simply don’t even exist any more. Relationships take on new depth and richness. Feelings of separateness give way to an increased sense of interconnection with all of life.
World-class athletes and performers understand the value that comes from having someone work directly with you to bring out your best, someone to point out things you cannot see, someone to keep encouraging you and challenging you to go beyond your limits and perceived limitations. Business executives understand the value of having someone with whom they can have honest discussions that can’t be done with their teams, given the biases, politics and power differentials involved. In our rapidly changing world, you too can benefit from a professional coach whose only agenda is your success.
Why Does Coaching Work?
Professional coaching works for three reasons:
You have a collaborative partnership with your coach. Someone who is there, who understands the creative and achievement process and knows when to pull, when to push and when to shut up. Someone who helps you focus on your strengths, not waste time trying to overcome your weaknesses. Someone who comes to know you and helps you focus on what matters most to you.
You are connecting frequently in weekly sessions that provide a supportive framework for whatever you are working on.
You create a formula for sustainable success by focusing on developing yourself in addition to achieving the goal. Long-term fulfillment comes from learning to continually grow, develop and learn.
I typically work with:
Corporate people who are having problems with their manager or co-workers, who want to fast-track their career, and who want to be leaders or intrapreneurs.
Managers and executives who have lots of responsibility and a lot at stake and who want to increase their effectiveness without being overcome by stress.
People in major transition who want to emerge stronger and more aware.
I particularly enjoy coaching clients who are:
Under high or extreme stress and are willing to work through to a permanent solution.
Highly motivated to orient their life around what they really want.
Ready to invest in their personal and spiritual development.
