To help people attain the results they want in life, I use a variety of tools. I teach, explore alternatives, inspire, act as sounding board, build confidence and capability, facilitate learning, ask questions, listen with compassion, develop skills, create ownership, provide a challenge, act as a model, taskmaster, mentor and explore potential. I can be a resource and a motivator. A coach often acts as a partner, providing clients with tools, support and structure to achieve more than they might be able to do by themselves.

COACHING IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THERAPY 

Therapy deals with psychological issues that are usually rooted in the past. I work with the present and future desires and dreams. I may, however, help a client to identify or articulate blocks or obstacles to gaining the desired results. This may be one way of acknowledging current realities. At the same time I typically assist clients to discover their inner resources and other alternatives which can reduce or eliminate such barriers.


IN ORDER TO COACH YOU BETTER, LET ME KNOW:

• How can I best coach you?
  What else do you need from me to make your coaching exactly as you want it?
  What changes do you or I need to make in order for our coaching to work better for you?
  What have you been trying to tell me that I have not heard?
  Where shall we go from here?

A coach envisions a world where people make decisions and choices in life based on confidence and a healthy self-image, not on fear or neediness. A coaching mission is to empower people to strengthen themselves via a positive attitude and progressive action resulting in change and evolution in personal development.
