Personal Coaching
My approach could best be described as systems-oriented. This approach takes into account that we are in constant relationship, whether the relationship is to the many aspects of our self, the relationship we have to others in our personal life, or the relationship we have within a team or organization.
We can learn to navigate these relationships successfully by developing and strengthening emotional, social and systems intelligence. This opens the door for fulfilling and successful relationships with self, others, and all the different aspects of life.
I work with clients from around the globe. People come for a variety of reasons: relationship issues, feeling stuck, lack of clarity about decisions or direction, career issues, setting and reaching goals, for a sounding board, and for help and support with any number of issues that we all face in the world today.
Coaching is about helping people live a more productive, fulfilled, balanced and empowered life. This includes having rich, rewarding, dynamic and vibrant relationships.
On a side note, many potential clients ask what the difference is between coaching and therapy. Coaching is a dynamic vehicle for personal and professional growth and has its roots in positive psychology, solution-focused, and client-centered models of therapy as well as influences from the human potential movement and various leadership models. This approach is different from the psychodynamic or "disease" models of traditional therapy yet there are many overlapping issues that both coaches and therapists work with effectively.
Individual Coaching
With individual coaching, I help you become empowered to live your life with purpose,intention and satisfaction by recognizing and developing your strengths as well as leveraging your challenges.
Individual coaching is a collaborative process in which together we help to clarify your goals, your aspirations, your vision, what may be troubling you, your challenges, your emotional triggers, and whatever other issues you are wanting to work with in this process. Whether this is career-related or within your personal relationships or simply for leading a more fulfilling life, I help to support you to move from point A to point B in your life as identified by you.
In this process, we work with many different tools, skills, and discover different aspects of self to help manifest your vision of your life. Upon concluding each session, we will develop a focus or practice for you to incorporate and work with between our sessions.
