Coaching Specifics

What is Coaching?  The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential."  Please go to the About & Resources tab for the ICF website link.

Session Length and Payment:  Sessions run 40 to 45 minutes. We typically meet once a week for six to twelve months via Zoom or telephone. Payments are due prior to the coaching session.  Please inquire regarding details and flexible payment options.

Coaching with Attention to Topics, Desired Outcomes, and Goals:  Many possibilities exist for areas of attention.  We are always growing, changing, and being influenced by our past and present.  At your first coaching session, you may or may not know what you want to focus on.  Either way is okay!  I suggest picking one or two topics that matter most to you right now.  Scroll down to see information regarding Desired Outcomes from coaching.

What to Expect:  During our session, I will bring deep listening, curiosity, and thought-provoking questions. I may offer an opportunity to pause and settle with a moment of silence and breath.  We will identify strategies and tools to shift what is not working into what does work specific to you.  I will encourage the use of action steps which may include having me as an accountability partner to support focus, follow through, and feeling positive.

Accountability and Encouragement:  Customized check-ins are offered between coaching sessions.  These are brief emails or text messages that support accountability, share information, and offer encouragement.

Important Clarifying Information:  My coaching practice 

does not include psychotherapy or consulting services.  

Upon request, I am happy to refer you to a coach offering multiple services.
