"I've always been a super-achiever at home and work, but it's taking a toll on my health and my relationships. How can I slow down and have time for ME?"

"The job I'm doing doesn't fit me any longer, but I'm afraid to quit -- I'm scared to go after what I really want."

"I have everything a person could ask for -- a good job, happy family, nice home -- but I still feel there's something missing in my life."

How can you help me?
I can help you understand your strengths and blind spots. First, I assess your behavior style -- what makes you tick and what ticks you off. Then we work together to develop strategies that help you succeed in meeting the challenges you face.

Are you...

A busy person, plagued by time wasters, who wants to maximize your time and energy?
Searching for a career that's a better fit for you?
A professional who wonders how to make your staff listen to you?
A salesperson with the potential to reach a higher target?
A manager who is frustrated with trying to motivate your work team?
Wanting to create a relationship with more intimacy, connection, and fun?

What is coaching?
Coaching is quickly becoming one of the leading tools that successful people use to live extraordinary lives. Through weekly phone coaching sessions, my clients identify what is most important to them and align their thoughts, words, and actions accordingly. As your coach, I work with you to identify what you want personally and professionally, and support you in achieving a life that you really want and love. Having a life you love starts with gaining clarity on your values, enabling more meaningful choices and consistent action. Your commitment to your life through coaching offers a means for more balance, joy, intimacy, energy, financial abundance, focus, and action in every area of your life.

How is coaching different from therapy or consulting?
Coaching is not therapy, which goes into depth about various issues, usually dealing with the past. In therapy, clients may talk about the changes they'd like to make in their lives, but the "how to" and the resources are often missing. Nor is it consulting which generally results in giving the client answers.

Coaching is more action-oriented and focuses primarily on the present and future. As your coach I enable you to determine your own answers through the work done in our coaching partnership. I serve as your guide and anticipate the obstacles on the path to your new life and help you navigate around them. As your partner, I remind you of your greatness when you forget, give you the tools to get unstuck, and challenge you to take action in spite of your fears.

How does coaching work?
Coaching is proven to work when two factors are present:

  • The client is willing to learn, grow, and take action.
  • There is a gap between where the client is now and where he/she wants to be.

That's all that is necessary for a successful coaching relationship where you can develop the right strategy, implement a plan of action, and achieve your goals.

Why does coaching work?
Coaching works because of three unique features:

  • Synergy: Client and coach become a team, focusing on the client's goals and needs and accomplishing more -- more quickly -- than the client would alone.
  • Structure: With a coach, a client takes more actions, thinks bigger, and gets the job done, thanks to the accountability the coach provides.
  • Expertise: The coach knows how to help the client make more money, make better decisions, set attainable goals, and restructure their professional and personal lives for maximum productivity.

What are the benefits of having a coach?

Take more, better, and smarter actions
Our first task together is to find out exactly what you want for yourself. Once you create objectives that are clearly in line with your personal values and professional vision, you are much more likely to naturally and consistently take actions to reach them.

Have a balanced life that works well
Professional success is maximized when you enjoy a sense of personal fulfillment and life balance. We will discuss how to be selfish yet responsible, and how to carve out enough time so your life outside of work is the way you want it to be.

Make better decisions
I will help you become focused as you share ideas with me. I will understand you and be subjective enough to want a lot for you, yet objective enough not to be biased or self-serving. You'll also find that just talking about your options with someone who really listens is often enough to clarify things.

Reach for more -- much more
When you have a partner you trust, you will reach for much more because you can afford to. Are you ready to think big and really live your life fully? I am a partner who will enable you to take your life wherever you want it to go.

Make and keep more money
Most people are worth a lot more than they are making. Are you happy with your financial situation? If not, we can look at your actions and beliefs about money and address whatever is keeping you from experiencing prosperity.

Have more sustainable energy
Together we'll identify the things that drain your energy, and create a long-term strategy to eliminate them. In addition, we'll focus on the things that give you energy, and explore how to maximize their impact. When you're happy, productive, and free from problems, life is a lot more fun!
