Coaches can play a key role in helping shift perspectives about yourself and how you approach things.  Using thought-provoking questions, active listening, and structured guidance, a coach creates a safe space where you can identify areas for development, define goals that align with your values, and create meaningful change.

Coaching offers a supportive and results-driven framework.  Whether you’re looking to build leadership skills, navigate a career change, need guidance with a passion project, develop and enhance relationships, or deepen self-awareness, coaching can help you stay accountable and grow with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Coaching encourages meaningful change by helping you identify blind spots and clarify personal challenges and goals, creating space for deeper self-awareness and exploration.  A clear vision is a crucial starting point for laying the groundwork and developing an effective plan that empowers you to create lasting and positive change.

First, to ensure you feel comfortable and fully informed, I always offer a free 30-minute discovery session so that we can connect, discuss the process, and determine if working together feels right to you.  If you decide to move forward with one of my service offerings, you’ll review, and we’ll both sign a coaching agreement outlining confidentiality, session etiquette, roles, pricing, and termination policies.

Once we get started, sessions can be conducted by phone or video (your choice) and guided by your agenda, with a structured framework to keep the process organized and flowing.  Using active listening, insightful questions, and tools or assessments (if applicable), I’ll support you in identifying and clarifying your goals and in taking meaningful action.  In between sessions, I may ask you to commit to some assignments to ensure you make continued progress toward your success.

Confidentiality is fundamental to our coaching relationship, and all sessions will be held in strict confidence to ensure you always have a safe space for open exploration and growth.  Your information will never be disclosed, except in cases involving illegal activity or imminent risk of harm, and this is aligned and in accordance with the agreement we’ll both sign before we begin.

While therapy focuses on past issues and mental health concerns with a licensed professional, coaching supports healthy individuals with setting goals and making shifts in their behavior aligned with positive and meaningful change.  If at any point I believe you would benefit from working with a therapist or other specialist, I will recommend this to you.

Social and Emotional Intelligence is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, while also recognizing and effectively navigating the emotions and relationships of others, both in professional settings and in our personal lives

Cognitive Intelligence (IQ) is thought to remain relatively fixed throughout our lives, whereas Social and Emotional Intelligence can be learned and strengthened.  Research has indicated that one of the most effective methods of increasing and enhancing EQ is through coaching.

Social and Emotional Intelligence encompasses a wide range of skills, including building trust, personal resilience, and stress management.  It also involves influencing others, teamwork, productive conflict management, and effective collaboration.

You will take the (SEIP)™ online via the Institute for Social and Emotional Intelligence website.  Upon completing the assessment, you will receive a personalized profile that includes an overall EQ score as well as a comprehensive breakdown of scores across the 26 distinct categories that make up social and emotional intelligence.  If you’re interested in learning more about the ISEI, you can find additional details here.

The coaching process involves an initial collective review of your (SEIP)™ scores to ensure you fully understand the scoring and each of the distinct categories.  Once specific vulnerabilities have been highlighted, we will work together to develop a personalized program to help you strengthen and enhance these skills moving forward.
