COACHING & CONSULTING
FIND YOUR TRUE NORTH AND FOLLOW IT.
Do you desire to regain clarity on your purpose, values and what matters most to you? Have you been feeling disconnected from your authentic self and the resourcefulness that you know deep down you possess? Are you tired of feeling stuck and ready to shift yourself, your team and/or your organization to a place of transformative action? Let's talk.
ABOUT ME
My passion is helping individuals, teams and organizations identify and work through barriers keeping them from realizing their greatest potential. I show up fully present for clients, listen closely and help them to articulate their values, define meaningful goals and set a path toward achieving the results they seek.
Prior to creating my own consulting and coaching practice, I spent 10 years working on high profile consulting engagements on behalf of federal and state clients. Following Hurricane Katrina, I worked on several projects focused on the long term recovery of the Gulf Coast region and helping FEMA to prepare for future disasters. After that, I led teams and projects implementing large scale state and national healthcare reform initiatives. This was challenging and interesting work that connected me to dynamic clients across many states and sectors but ultimately I realized that the work that I really wanted to do was more people-focused: helping individuals and organizations identify and work through obstacles to reaching their full potential.
I completed my coaching education through the world-renowned Coactive Training Institute. In my work, I employ a co-active model that emphasizes full participation by both coach and client to achieve powerful results. Key elements of my coaching style include candor, non-judgment, acceptance, encouragement and a healthy dose of humor.
SERVICES
LEADERSHIP AND EXECUTIVE COACHING
I work with individuals who are leaders in their place of work and/or other areas of their lives to help them reconnect with what is most important to them so that they can identify and go after what they want to achieve. Together we design a coaching relationship that best supports and encourages the client's particular needs and desires. I support clients in recognizing patterns and beliefs that aren't serving them so that they can tackle them head on and step into their full power and potential, both for themselves and to encourage powerful collaboration and optimal performance among the teams and people they lead.
FACILITATION AND SPEAKING
Do you have an upcoming meeting or retreat for which you'd like to bring in an outside professional in order to make it more engaging and impactful? Whether it's facilitating an important or challenging discussion among key stakeholders, presenting an interactive workshop on issues relevant to your group or delivering a keynote address, I can help. I offer pre-designed workshops and talks on topics including employee engagement, workplace culture and meaningful communication and can customize offerings to suit your specific needs.
ORGANIZATIONAL CONSULTING
What is keeping your organization from achieving its full potential? Even successful companies may struggle to grow and flourish without a clear vision and articulated organizational values that drive employee engagement and performance. I support organizations in clarifying their purpose, planning for the future, building organizational trust and engagement around shared values, and laying the groundwork for unbridled success. I work with clients to clearly understand their organizations, define needs and deliver high quality, effective services that exceed expectations.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS COACHING?
Coaching is a collaborative and creative partnership between coach and client designed to inspire the client to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership. We all have goals we want to reach, challenges we’re striving to overcome and times when we feel stuck. Partnering with a coach can set you on a path to greater personal and professional fulfillment.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Coaching can take many forms but much of it revolves around deep listening, reflecting and asking powerful questions. As your coach, I trust that you have all the resources you need to transform your life within you, and my job is to help you tap into your innate wisdom. The most impactful coaching usually involves a sustained relationship between coach and client over at least a few months, which allows the coach to get to know the client better and the client has time and space to practice and revisit what they've discovered through coaching. All of my coaching takes place remotely, either by phone or videoconference - whichever the client prefers.
IS COACHING LIKE THERAPY?
While coaching and therapy both have the power to significantly transform someone's life, they are different. Coaching is very much focused in the present - where the client is today and where do they want to go - while therapy often involves a deep dive into someone's past. Coaches cannot diagnose or treat mental illnesses and will typically refer a client to a mental health professional if they feel it would be beneficial. Coaching and therapy can be complementary and many individuals receive therapy and coaching concurrently.
CAN I BOOK A SAMPLE SESSION?
Yes! The best way for you to find out if my coaching is right for you is to book an initial call. I offer a free consultation during which I will ask you to share a bit about yourself and what you're looking for, explain my coaching philosophy and approach and answer any questions you have. You can contact me anytime to schedule the consultation.
WHAT DOES IT COST?
I offer a few coaching packages to suit a variety of client needs. Monthly payment plans are available. Please contact me for more information.
