Why Coaching?

    An integrally informed executive or personal life coach works intimately, in an atmosphere of mutual trust, mutual respect and freedom of expression with clients to help them articulate and achieve the goals they really want in life, the ones that are most in harmony with their highest self.

    Coaching helps clients with a wide range of problems, including specific problems, such as how to increase the chances of rising up the ladder in a management firm by developing an impressive portfolio of business, how to overcome interpersonal difficulties with a business colleague, or how to bring a creative vision to practical fruition; and problems that are more general in nature, such as feeling "stuck" or vaguely dissatisfied in one's life and/or career, wanting to be more effective on the job, or wanting to create more balance and richness in one's life.

    A coach not only holds the client accountable and keeps the client moving toward his or her dreams and goals, but also helps the client make important personal changes that permit the client to remove the self-imposed limits that have been holding him or her back.

How It Happens

    An integrally informed coach helps the client effect these changes, first by establishing a relationship of trust, honesty, and support, and second by focusing on the client's interpretation of his or her current situation, including the client's self-interpretation.

     My approach to coaching recognizes that a person's effectiveness is directly related to a person's assumptions, beliefs, and self-concept.   Unless one is willing to examine and change one's self-imposed conceptual limitations, meaningful change is highly unlikely, because one's beliefs about oneself and the world tend to predetermine the outcome.

     Change will occur, however, with the right information and motivation.   That's where having a coach can be indispensable.   A coach doesn't analyze the client, but rather listens, supports, challenges, asks questions, and is committed to helping the client find his or her own truth and then working to take the steps to actualize these goals.
