About Us

“Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce more effective results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives. Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The coach’s job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has.”
— International Coaches Federation

Coaching works because the coach helps the client set and reach higher and more appropriate goals, asks more of them than they would have done on their own and focus them to produce results more quickly. This is a very active period and a time when clients may learn to see themselves in multiple coaching relationships, whether it be at speaking to their spouse, children, their employees, superior or peers.

The coaching relationship begins with developing an alliance through an initial intake session. Clients come to the alliance with challenges; things that need to be dealt with, a back log of to-dos, or habits to develop. They are motivated by the accountability of doing what has to be done to support their evolution. Goals and actions are important; making choices, finding focus, saying yes and saying no. This is a very active period and a time when clients may learn to see themselves in multiple coaching relationships, whether it be at speaking to their spouse, children, their employees, superior or peers.

Assessment	Establish actual measurements and set general goals; i.e. identify where we are and where do we want to be?
Values	Defining values and clarify how they may impact upon our decisions.
Areas of Focus	Setting long term and short term goals in measurable terms.
Evaluation	Determine the success of the coaching based on the above criteria.

As an outcome of this process, clients learn about confronting their fears, looking to their future self, discovering what they value, what they believe, and what they want from life. They go through a creative, sometimes fumbling process figuring out what structures or systems work for them. They see change around them from new ways of acting, new skills learned, new experiences tried.
