The Coaching Relationship
Our coaching relationship is Co-Creative
- we are equal partners and both have an active role. Together
we create more positive energy to help you clarify what's really
important to you and take effective action toward your goals.
Coaching results will depend on
your choices and actions, supported by the coaching process.
I serve as an objective sounding board, an accountability
partner, and an inspirational guide for the journey.
Through our coaching relationship,
you can expect to:
- gain clarity about your life purpose
- discover what's really important to
you and take heart-centered action that supports your
true intentions and goals
- find guidance and support for fulfilling
your dreams and aspirations
- free your creative expression
- energize and enhance an existing relationship
or attract a new, more fulfilling relationship
- make meaningful personal changes
that reduce stress, simplify your life, and release your
joy and passion
Individual coaching
I offer my services on a monthly retainer
basis which includes:
- Three 50 minute weekly phone sessions
each month
- Additional coaching support
is available through email exchanges between sessions
A three-month minimum is recommended to
initiate dynamic progress. At the end of three months, we'll
discuss progress and next steps.
Workshops
Several times
a year, I offer workshops for women
in midlife. Be inspired, share support and get some valuable coaching with a small group of like-hearted women on the challenges and opportunities that emerge in midlife. Upcoming workshops include:
- Midlife Awakening: Using the Law of Attraction to Consciously Create a (Mid)Life You Love (Spring 2008)
How and where does the coaching taking
place?
Sample sessions and the initial 2-hour
Discovery Session can be done either in person or by phone.
Our regular coaching sessions occur once a week by phone at
a mutually convenient time. Phone sessions focus the session
on what's most important and offer both privacy and convenience.
Group coaching takes place in person.
How long does the coaching relationship
last?
Individual clients can work with me for
a significant period - several months to several years. A
minimum of three months is recommended to initiate dynamic
progress towards your goals. My clients often find ongoing
value in having an objective sounding board, an accountability
partner, and an inspirational guide along their journey.
How is coaching different from therapy?
The therapeutic relationship tends to view the therapist as the expert and the client as needing psychological help. On the other hand, the coaching relationship is collaborative, with client and coach as equal partners.
While therapy tends to be feeling oriented, coaching is action oriented. Psychotherapy is more about helping people
heal their emotional wounds. While emotional healing can occur as part of
the coaching process, coaching is not for people who need help, but for people who want help in creating a more balanced, joyful and fulfilling life.
Coaching is about helping people achieve
their highest level of fulfillment, happiness and success.
Coaches work with relatively "healthy" individuals
to help them learn, grow, expand and create the lives they
truly desire.
