Work with Me

---

We'll meet by phone or Zoom for an hour at a time two or three times a month.  For each session, you'll bring a challenge that is specific, current, and important in light of your broader goals. At the end of each session, we will agree on "homework" for you to complete before our next meeting. Homework is where the magic happens! We may be in touch by email or text between meetings.

 Three fundamental beliefs underlie my approach to coaching. These drive how I show up for my clients, the questions I ask, and homework I give. Understanding them will help you understand whether my coaching approach is the right one for you.

• People are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. 

This is a cornerstone of the co-active approach to coaching, and one that I embrace completely. Here is what it means to me: even at your lowest, most confused and overwhelmed, you don’t need me to “fix” you or tell you what to do. As your coach, my job is to help you find the inner resources you need to create the change you want to make. I am your ally, your mirror, your co-investigator, and your champion. 

• I coach the person, not the topic.

You decide what topic you bring to each coaching session. Whatever it is, my approach will be fundamentally the same: I am focused on you -- how you are thinking, what perspective you are holding, how that perspective is impacting you, and how we might shift perspectives or tap your inner resources to shed new light on the challenge you face. I coach you while you explore the topic.

• The way you see the challenge is the challenge.

 As your coach, one of the most important things I can do is help you notice how you are seeing the challenge at hand, and how that impacts what you believe is possible. When we change the stories we tell ourselves, we change our realities.
