Frequently Asked Questions
How will I know if you are the right coach for me?
​
If you like unfiltered, unbiased, powerful questions to help turn you around to look at what’s behind you, around you, right in front of you, then I’m your coach. I pride myself on helping others expand their awareness and see what choices they have. I am not going to tell you what to do, give outright advice.
​
​
I’ve never been coached before, how hard is it?
​
Do you want a cheerleader or challenger? You decide up front. In the first free 30 minute consultation we will discuss coaching in more detail, I can answer any specific questions not answered here. My curiosity is infused with playfulness. This work is important but we don't have to be serious – we will laugh and have fun along the way.
​
​
Do I have to actually ‘do’ anything? Or do we simply chat?
​
While our sessions are conversational, this is not the opportunity to offload, rant, or chit-chat. The best way to move toward your goal is through deliberate and focused action. I have a toolbox of assessments, activities, books, articles, videos, exercises. At the end of each session, together, we will work through what actions you will take to move a step closer towards your goals.
​
What if I don’t have answers to all the questions or know what to say?
That’s okay, that’s my job. I have many ways to help you expand your awareness, and it might be my question needs a different question. That is my skill, I will work with you where you are at. There is no judgement, no right or wrong. I will help you navigate through your own thinking.
​
​
What sort of person do you work with, am I right?
My experience lends itself to small business owners and executives, or those on the executive pathway, in a corporate environment. The people I connect with the best are those who have a growth mindset, are ambitious and evolving, looking for input and impetus to take you forward. If you think I am the right fit for you and have a different background from this, I'd still love to chat. Reach out for a free 30 minute consultation as I do work with a diverse range of people, ages and experiences.
