I believe the answers you are seeking are within you. I also believe offering tools to access those answers is my role as a coach. In order to support this process, I may articulate what I hear and sense you are expressing, offer actions steps and challenges, or recommend books or other resources. In all cases, you are welcome to accept, reject, clarify, or negotiate what I offer.

I may challenge you by asking hard questions in a gentle yet direct way. I may ask you to stretch your thinking by turning current beliefs upside down or inside out. I may cut through your story and call you on a belief system, relationship, or behavior that no longer seems life-serving.

Support for your personal relationships often requires an inner journey. Often we find ourselves stuck in the blame + shame game and when we are coaching with our partners, it is too challenging to find enough calm to keep the focus on ourselves. Individual coaching offers you the spaciousness to think out loud, say whatever you want —without the concern for what it might mean to the other person so we can navigate what you might say or do differently when you are with your partner to create the shift(s) you are hoping for.

Life coaching supports you in developing self-awareness, finding clarity, and embracing the courage required to take action. Through our work together, you will be empowered to understand your needs, engage your intuition and your intellect.

You will develop a greater connection to the touchstones which guide your purpose in life. In doing this you will be able to make life choices --the large and complex as well as the seemingly smaller daily decisions with confidence and clarity.

Empathy. It is experience that is challenging to find amongst our family and friends. Sometimes the support you need is an unbiased ear. Someone you can speak to about what is important to you, or the challenges you are facing, without having to acknowledge the concerns or worries of the people you are talking with. Or wanting to maintain the privacy of a situation. I will help you re-connect to what’s important to you so that you can once again, find your way to inner peace and loving relationships.

I am committed to holding your highest good and expression at all times; even as I understand neither of us may know what that looks like.

Find reconciliation. Restore the collaborative spirit that too often goes missing within your closest relationships. The work we will do together can dramatically improve relationships by helping to focus attention on empathic understanding of each without compromising your own values -- and to focus on expressing your true feelings and needs, openly and honestly, without blame or criticism. Even within situations mired with long-standing conflict and/or hostility, our work together can open new doors to compassionate connection and healing.

Imagine how effective your organization can be if relationships among all stakeholders are based on understanding, assertiveness, flexibility, compassion, and accurate interpretations of each person's intentions. What if your communications were easily understood and conflict quickly and effectively resolved?
