We’ll decide this together! Virtual meetings are great for coaching, and it also works great over the phone. Of course, if it works geographically, good old-fashioned face-to-face meetings are lovely, too! We’ll decide together what will work best for you.

Consulting: Consulting is typically information or expertise-based and advisory in nature. Consultants are expected to have experience in that specific area and are able to advise and recommend specific courses of action. Coaching is not that. Life coaching is focused on helping you learn how to use YOUR wisdom to identify needed changes and courses of action, and once those have been identified, I’m here to help you figure out how to actually make those changes. I won’t tell you what to change, but I’ll help you figure that out and then coach you through integration and transformation.

Therapy: Life coaching is not therapy, and life coaches are not psychologists or psychotherapists. Life coaching focuses on the present and the client’s goals for the future. I’ll help you move forward and set personal and professional goals to help you build the life and career you really want and make the courageous transformations necessary to get you there.

This is completely dependent on the client and their goals. Most engagements start with a minimum of five sessions and the majority of those continue beyond those five sessions. In certain cases, a shorter duration will work based on what the client is trying to achieve, but even in those cases, the length of agreement is influenced by the client experience, readiness to embrace change, and even unforeseen circumstances that pop up along the way. We’ll talk about all of this in your exploratory call to make sure you have a good starting point if we decide to work together.

Heck no! I do ask that you do some reflection in preparation for the exploratory call to identify some areas where life could use a tune-up, but you absolutely do not need to come to the first meeting with everything nailed down specifically. We’ll work on that together, and I’ll help you get really clear on your desired outcomes before we dive in.

Yep, it will! We’ll follow a similar process of identifying areas of “least satisfaction” and clarifying goals and desired outcomes, and we’ll work together on identifying steps you want to take. While some clients start this way, many decide to continue because they keep on identifying more interesting things to take on!

Unequivocally, yes. I can only speak from my own experience both as the Coach and as a Client, but yes. It’s been a lifesaver for me and I’ve seen the powerful changes and forward progress my clients have been able to achieve.

As of September, 2021, I am in process to achieve dual certification in life coaching by the International Coaching Federation and the Martha Beck Institute Wayfinder Life Coach Training program.
