What is coaching and how does it work?

Coaching is a transformative process that inspires growth and catalyzes lasting change. As your coach,I’ll use accessible tools and techniques to help you connect you to what you care about, clarify your goals, identify obstacles, and create an action plan so that you can bring about the desired changes and results.

​

In each session, I will begin by asking what you’d like to work on (e.g., career growth, more confidence, or work–life balance) and explore where you are now, what’s working, and what feels stuck. Together we’ll define clear objectives and discuss any challenges or limiting beliefs that might stand in your way. Then you and I will map out practical next steps, set deadlines, and establish ways to stay accountable between sessions. Each meeting usually lasts 45 to 60 minutes and is future-oriented and goal-driven, rather than therapeutic, so the focus stays on actionable progress and measurable results.

 

Who can benefit from having a coach?

Anyone can benefit from having a coach! Having a coach can be particularly useful when going through change—major life changes or subtle shifts in your life. These changes could be voluntary (e.g., a new job opportunity, promotion, retirement, or becoming an empty nester) or involuntary (e.g., a layoff, break-up or health crisis). You can explore any aspect of your life: work, relationships, friendships, parenting, health. 

 

What if I don’t get the desired results by the end of our coaching?

The purpose of coaching is not solely for you to get results. Coaching is truly a partnership and a co-creative process. A coach can inspire you to maximize potential, learning and increasing awareness in the process and having the ability to respond. It is the client’s responsibility to get results, the coach is there to be help them to achieve results by holding up the space, asking powerful questions to make the clients to get more awareness and witness them to do something with that awareness.

​

Are the sessions confidential?

Yes, however, a coach may divulge confidential information in the following circumstances, set by law:

• When a person has made a credible threat to harm themselves, their organizations or others

• When the coach is compelled by a court order or subpoena (Coaches have no client privilege in a court of law. This means that if coaches are asked for information, they must provide it. This is different for physicians and psychiatrists and some other professions.)
