What is Coaching? The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership.

How does coaching work? Coaching involves the focus of both coach and client on the goals the client brings to each session. Clients can expect a time and space to reflect deeply on what they hope to achieve, be asked powerful questions to evoke new ways of seeing things, and be offered assessments and other content - all aimed to facilitate client growth.

My coaching philosophy I take a whole-person approach to coaching. I believe that we all have influences, such as cognitive, emotional, spiritual, and relational inputs we contend with in every vital decision. I believe we listen to our “gut instinct” just as often as we yield to empirical data. Coaching helps you sort out all the factors of a decision, and the emotions that go with them. Coaching leads to break-through insights, renewed focus, and practical actions for growth.
