So ... What Is Coaching?

Life Coaching is a process for helping someone identify some of their greatest pains, identify the results they would like to achieve, and create a plan that takes them from those pains to their desired results. 
 
How? …
 
As your Coach, I become your accountability partner, teacher and supporter. I use practices, tools and resources that guide and inspire you along the path you and I create to achieve your goals. 

  • Individual Coaching is tailored one-on-one sessions to address your unique needs.
  • Group Coaching allows you to Join a supportive community of women with shared experiences, challenges and desired outcomes.
  • Workshops and Webinars are interactive sessions to equip you with practical tools and strategies.
 
​Coaching is another way of saying we work together as partners, to get to the bottom of your biggest challenge and create the solution to resolve your challenge - once and for all.

How Would We Work Together?

Coaching is tailored just for what you need to get from where you are now to where you want to be. We work toward creating tools that will deliver permanent, desired outcomes for you.

By working with you one-to-one, you will:​
  • Clarify your short-term and long-term goals 
  • Assess where you are in your life now
  • Identify your biggest and hidden challenge and start there
  • Learn how to identify what works for you and what you want to achieve
  • Manage those things that do not support your goals
  • Create a plan that sets you up for maintaining lasting desired results 

This coaching relationship is a partnership to give you the support and tools you need to create the life you've been missing.

  • For deep and long-term transformation, I incorporate evidence-based methodology, Positive Intelligence, in the work we do together.
  • During a Complimentary Discovery Call, we determine what coaching package will meet your desired goals.
  • We strive to get you mentally fit for whatever life hands you. Mental fitness is a focus to grow "muscles," equip you with a new set of options, and prepare you to make decisions and choices that support your total wellbeing as you manage whatever life hands you.
