"A coach is someone who gets you to do what you’re not doing, so you can be who you want to be.”

– Tom Landry

How Coaching Works

In its essence, effective coaching involves a strong and committed partnership between coach and client that results in action to create change. If you are reading this now, perhaps there is something in your life that you want to change for improvement but are unable to do so alone, or you don’t know how to begin. Personal coaching might be for you!

Coaching works by:

Providing you an objective partner who will hold you accountable for actions you choose to take
Offering you truthful dialogue without hidden motivations or the burdens of past baggage
Enabling you to explore new perspectives and alternative visions in a risk-free environment

The best way to understand how coaching works is to understand the role of coach and client.

As your coach I will…

As the client you will…

Let you determine the agenda for each session
Listen to you on multiple levels
Ask powerful and direct questions that will challenge you to act
Assist you in identifying and setting goals, and planning to achieve them
Offer you new perspectives, options—and with your permission—suggestions to help you discover your solutions
Always uphold the highest professional standards and ethics

Provide the agenda or topic for each session
Be responsible for your own feelings, decisions, and actions
Always tell the truth
Do your own work necessary to achieve your goals
Always “show up” for sessions fully and energetically
Pay your coaching fees on time

About the Sessions

Coaching sessions typically take place over the phone and last a maximum of 1 hour, but can also be as short as 30 minutes. I will also be glad to meet for sessions in person, although it is not necessary for effective coaching. If you would like to meet in-person I reserve the right to choose the location in order to keep your costs to the standard coaching fees. It’s your choice as to whether you let me know of your agenda topic prior to our session.

After each session, I provide you a report (See “Services and Rates” for more information) that summarizes our discussion and if appropriate, identifies your action plan. We will begin every session by reviewing your progress from the previous session’s Action Plan.
