Who can benefit from my coaching

Our coaching relationship - how we work

Who can benefit from my coaching?

Each of us can benefit from coaching.  Just as the best athletes with natural talent have coaches to help them win, everyone can benefit from having a personal coach. I invite you to a complimentary session to experience how you can specifically benefit from having me as your coach.

As a professionally trained coach and certified Master Scuba Diver I have learned many skills to live by, below and above the surface.  As divers we are reminded to "plan our dive and dive our plan" and, to "never dive without a buddy."   A diver's life depends on training, experience, teamwork ... and remembering to breathe.  A successful life in balance depends on much the same.  Most importantly, taking that time to breathe through the challenges, relax, and celebrate each success.

Planning begins before one arrives at the dive site (your goal), with consideration for equipment needs and safety (co-create successful strategies).  Once at the site, it is important to employ experience and create a plan with your buddy (professional coach), confirm that you two speak the same (divers use sign) language, get clear on who will take the lead (you with my support), and assist each other in preparation for a safe descent and ascent.

The depth to which one dives is determined by training and levels of certification .  The length of the dive depends on how well you prepared, how relaxed you are, and how deep you go. (strengthening your foundation with a professional coach)

A safe return to the surface involves a mindful ascent and careful attention to details.  And the most important rule, "never hold your breath," which translates into, "remember to breathe," and celebrate every success.

Our coaching relationship - how we work

1. Complimentary "get acquainted" session - no obligation
30 minutes, by telephone

This is your time to get acquainted with me and the process of coaching.  We will talk about you and what you hope to achieve from our coaching partnership.  Consider this a safe space to have an obligation-free conversation about possible paths we may take to co-create your life of success and balance.  If you like what you hear and how you feel working together, you will let me know and we will take a few minutes to set up our first session.  If you like what you hear but need more time or have more questions, we can chat by email until you are ready to move forward.  If we are not the right fit or this is not the right time, no problem, I will thank you for taking time to share and wish you a good life.

2. Co-creation sessions (regular monthly)
30 - 50 minutes each, 2-3 times per month (by phone or in-person)

OK, this is what it's all about.  You'll tell me what you want to work on, I'll listen, and together we'll combine the best of intuition and proven tools to co-create your life of success and balance.  It took time to get where you are, so I suggest you commit a minimum of three - five months to re-create your life.

Email support - unlimited for committed clients (sign on for 3 months or more)

When appropriate, we may use email and attachments to, e.g., answer quick questions you may have, send you worksheets and other tools to stimulate thought, assess your "here and now," help you get organized,  chart your progress, and affirm interim success.

3.  Celebration and closure session
45 minutes

This is the time to celebrate and move on.  We'll affirm your accomplishments and how to make them last -- as part of your new, life of success and balance.  One or both of us may identify this moment by phone or email.

Payment is due on a monthly basis prior to the coaching session.  Invoices will be emailed upon request the last week of each month.  For more about your investment in you, click here
