Frequently Asked Questions
What is Life/CareerCoaching?
Quite simply, Life or Career Coaching is a process that helps you get "unstuck" and make empowering changes in your life. Life and Career Coaching is a powerful way to remove obstacles and cross the bridge to a more rewarding and fulfillling life or work experience. During times of transition (changing jobs, careers, retirement, graduation, divorce), Life and Career Coaching can help you define your priorities, develop an action plan and better navigate the ups and downs of change.
What is Leadership Coaching?
Leadership Coaching provides the most effective and efficient way to boost careers, increase team and organizational productivity, and reach personal and professional goals. Through Leadership Coaching you will discover the tools and resources for better choices and new actions.
For Federal Government Agencies, Leadership Coaching can help maximize intangible assests (like motivating employees, satisfying customers and increasing productivity) to excel at performance and provide the best services and results for all Americans.
Why should I use your Life, Career andLeadership Coaching services?
With six years of experience and continuing coaching education, as a Life, Career, and Leadership Coach I am uniquely trained to help you clarify what you want to achieve, find fresh solutions and strategies, develop an action plan - and most importantly, keep you on track and moving forward until you reach your goals. I don't just help you get "unstuck" -- I stick with you until you get where you want to be.
How does the Life, Career and Leadership Coaching process work?
I believe that change happens on every level of your life, so I take a "holistic" approach to our sessions, taking into account your thinking, emotions, values, body language and more.
We'll design a meeting schedule, typically consisting of hour-long sessions every week or every other week, either in person or by phone. I'll make every effort to accommodate your schedule and time commitments.
You'll be completing various life, career or leadership coaching exercises to help solidify your new insights and make them an active part of your life.
Naturally, our sessions are completely confidential (unless authorized by you, or as required by law).
In the Life, Career and Leadership Coaching sessions, you will:
* Appreciate what's working in your life and then build on those strengths
* Explore new ideas and skills
* Eliminate counterproductive behavior
* Improve communication and interpersonal skills
* Obtain fresh perspectives on tough issues
* Find inventive solutions to immediate and long-term concerns
* Develop action plans to achieve your goals and objectives
How does Life, Career and Leadership Coaching differ from therapy or consulting?
Therapy deals with mental illness and disorders; consulting deals with expert advice. Life, Career and Leadership Coaching is present and future action-oriented, helping you develop the strategies and action plans to achieve your goals and objectives.
How long will we work together?
Most clients typically require a minumum of three months to accomplish their goals. Some may need six months or more. It all depends.
You set the agenda; when you believe you've achieved your objectives, we complete the life, career or leadership coaching. However, once you're a client, you can always contact me as needs arise and I will be there for you.
