Frequently Asked Questions

What is coaching?

Coaching is like having your own personal motivational speaker. Coaching is a process to support people in achieving their goals and living their lives fully. I help my clients break through fear in order to experience the joy on the other side. I do this by providing perspective and support for self-knowledge, as they accomplish their business and personal goals.

Coaching is a valuable process for:
- breaking through limiting fears and beliefs
- designing a life that includes both business and personal goals
- making meaningful life changes

How does it work?

Each week, at an agreed-upon day and time, you will call me at the number I provide. About a day or so prior to each session, you will e-mail me a session prep form, which will outline your agenda for the session (what you'd like the session to focus on for that week). During the session, my focus will be entirely on you and your agenda, and I will ask questions, help you brainstorm, suggest possible resources, etc., to support you and your agenda.

How do I know if coaching is right for me?

Do you feel stuck in a rut? Are self-limiting fears holding you back from fully living your fullest life? Would you like some support and encouragement along the path to your dreams? Then coaching is for you!

Another way to find out if coaching is right for you is by scheduling a complimentary sample session. If this sounds like something you'd like to try, please e-mail me to schedule a free ½ hour sample session to see if we'd work well together.

To get the most out of your complimentary coaching session with me, think about something a specific objective that you'd liked to be focus on. Think of a current challenge, goal you'd like to achieve or issue you'd like to be coached on. Be prepared to call and start "on time." At the end of our call, I'll give you more info about working with me as a coach. If you feel it's right for you, you can hire me right then. Of course, there's no obligation! I'm always happy to have one more person understand the experience of coaching.

How is coaching different from therapy?

Therapists work with clients who require professional help with healing, recovery and issue resolution. Coaches work with clients who want a partner to work with them in enhancing their lives.

Therapists are trained to treat diagnosable conditions. Coaches see their clients' strengths, skills and talents, and support them in achieving a desirable outcome.

Therapists keep their personal thoughts and feelings removed. Coaches use personal disclosure to help motivate and challenge their clients.

How soon will it be before I see results?

You may see results right after your first coaching session. Some results may take time to manifest. I recommend trying the coaching process for a minimum of three months before making a decision to discontinue the coaching relationship.

Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any other questions about coaching that you'd like to ask!
