Coaching with me

How I like to coach

I recognize that one of the most important aspects of entering into a coaching relationship is "relationship building." Therefore, in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, developing rapport with my clients is the first course of action. Once our connection is made, then we can proceed with what you have come to receive from coaching. I offer a highly personalized coaching strategy that is tailored to each of my clients individual needs to help them attain the personal / professional growth, healing and development they are striving for. I take a holistic approach to coaching that is realistic and practical that allows me to leverage your strengths to help you develop those areas requiring growth. Coaching sessions are structured using the Wiser Coaching Model, which is a client-driven process model to assist in planning,goal setting and accountability throughout the coaching process. This model is flexible. Appropriate humor is integrated into our coaching interactions as this process does not have to be clouded with gloom, doom or dread. Believe it or not "laughter" can be an excellent healer and stress reliever. Lastly, throughout your coaching journey, I will administer various assessment instruments to monitor and evaluate your progress so we will know that you are on track to your pathway to success.
