Because each Professional Coach has his or her own style of coaching clients, I thought that you would be interested in knowing how I coach, what I expect of my clients and what my clients can expect of me.

MY CLIENTS ARE GREAT

I am blessed with the privilege of choosing my clients. I want and enjoy each one of them. They are all growing, successful and I am assisting them to further their personal and professional lives

I EXPECT YOUR BEST

If you are working with me, then you're probably ready to do and be your best. If you aren't doing your best, Ill ask for your best. If you can't do that at that moment, Ill understand and help you to do what you need to do to get you back into the groove

I MAKE DIRECT REQUESTS

From time to time, I'll make a direct request, like “Will you accomplish X by the end of the month.” You may accept the request, offer another solution (state what you can do) or say no (rare). Whichever way you respond, we'll work to make it right for you.

I GIVE STRAIGHT ADVICE

If I am sure of the situation, and you're open to it, I'll make specific suggestions on how to handle a problem or go-for an opportunity If I am not sure, I'll say so. Regardless, use the best of what I say and use your own judgment

I DON'T STEP OVER MUCH

When I hear a funny tone in your voice, or hear you say something that I just can't ‘get”, I'll ask you about it. Often, it will be these small moments that will offer the chance to resolve something. However, I don't confront; I'll merely invite you to look at something

I GIVE HOMEWORK

I usually ask that the client come up with 3 goals, actions or shifts to have between this call and next. If it is too much, say So. If you want more, just ask.

YOU ARE EXPECTED TO USE ME, NOT DEPEND ON ME

As your coach, I am a resource and presence for you to use to your best advantage: I have an almost unlimited amount of love, compassion, forgiveness, strength for you and I can share upwards of 5,000 key distinctions and principles which will increase your success and add to the quality of your life. I ask that my clients use me as this resource and friend that I am, but not to let themselves get into the position of needing me (or the coaching) as a dependency thing or fix.

I AM HERE

I want to hear it all. If you have a personal problem, are upset with something (even me or the coaching), just starting to realize something big or can't wait to share a win or insight, call me. Anytime.
