What is a coach?
A coach is someone who elicits your best thinking and partners with you. A coach asks:
- Support and encourage you assisting you in manifesting your desires
- Give you the opportunity to start living the life you love.
- Work with you as an individual exploring possibilities, brainstorming and inspiring you to create the results that are important to you.
A coach knows that YOU are the expert on YOU!!
Why does coaching work?
Coaching is about listening, moving forward, being realistic, and actively fulfilling your intentions. The coaching process also asks each participant for a willingness to work toward your goals, to be accountable,and to trust the process, do this and you WILL manifest your desires! The group setting offers resident wisdom from peers, support, feedback, a mutual respect,confidentiality, understanding, and acceptance. Best of all you will gain a heightened sense of personal awareness. I invite you to join a group coaching session during this crucial time to nurture your most treasured relationships.

What is it like to have a support group of Like-minded Peers?

What is the benefit of using a coach as opposed to a social worker, psychologist or other counselors?
A coach helps you to move forward. A coach never gives advice, only listens to your stated realistic circumstances and helps you formulate a plan. A coach has certain areas of expertise. Coaching is non threatening and non judgmental. A coach knows that you have the answers and will challenge you, ask you tough questions and encourage you to be the best you can be.

How do the coaching sessions work?
I will be primarily facilitating group coaching, with some 1:1 phone follow up calls as needed.

Coaching can be done in any number of creative settings. If you know a minimum of 6 and maximum of 10 people who are interested, please call or email me. The coaching participants will complete the Welcome package including a discovery/interview form.Coaching strategy forms will be required prior to each group, describing the current challenges and the progress you’ve made since the last group. The focus of the group is determined by the participants. The coach and group members will help you stategize, explore possibilities, and make the most of these opportunities. You will assess your strengths and areas of improvement, identify your support systems, develop reward systems and make specific, realistic, attainable plans. You will be encouraged to focus on your intentions and action steps allowing you to progress forward. Participants are also encouraged to take small steady steps so that you will have victories and true behavior change. The coach and the group will support and encourage you, elicit your best thinking and hold your accountable to your plan.
