my approach

What is the process?
As your life coach I have unlimited faith in your potential and worth as a human being. I will not judge your inner struggles but will help you see them as vehicles for opportunity and personal growth.  I feel honored to share a part of this exciting journey with you.

We begin the process with a complementary 45 min. session; either over the phone or in person. At that time, we will discuss why you are seeking out a life coach and will determine if we can form a productive partnership. Once we have agreed to become a team, you will fill out some paperwork (minimum effort, I promise!) and I will provide you with a workbook to be filled out before our next session. This workbook serves a dual purpose: it puts you in the right mindset to start your journey and gives me a head-start in getting to know you. How much time and effort you invest in this workbook is completely up to you.

Initially, we will focus on defining the key areas of your life where you feel change needs to take place. During our subsequent sessions, we will begin to uncover the road blocks that have prevented you from moving forward towards these changes. We then develop a plan of action based on the goals most important to you. Once you understand yourself, prioritize your life, and manage your time, you will be able to dissolve many of the obstacles blocking the road to joy, energy and fulfillment.

Where does it take place?
Coaching sessions take place at my home office, over the phone or via computer conference tools. Alternate locations like your home, work place or a public place of your choice can be discussed.

How many sessions are needed?
While coaching promotes itself with bringing about results quickly, length of the coaching process and frequency of sessions is a very personal matter. For some people only a few skilful questions are needed to jump-start change; for other people more time is needed to fully embrace and open up to the work. It is the coach’s responsibility to prevent procrastination, by caringly yet insistently confronting the client in case he or she does not fully participate in the coaching process.

What are the payment terms?
You can pay per individual session or purchase one of my Commitment to Change packages. For face-to-face sessions payment is expected in cash or check after each session or at each first Commitment to Change Package session. If the coaching takes place over the phone or via computer conference tools payments must be made prior to each session  or prior to the first Commitment to Change Package session. Please note that a forty-eight hour cancellation policy is applicable.

Give yourself the gift of change! It is very important for the coaching process that you fully embrace your worthiness as a person who deserves this important investment into your future. Recognize that everybody around you benefits from positive change within you. Please feel free to contact me with any concerns you might have about the coaching process and logistics.

Additional services:
For some coaching exercises (i.e. creating your perfect day, or simply telling your story) I offer digital recording. You will receive a CD to take home with you as a record of this part of your coaching journey. A modest additional fee to cover the material costs will be charged.
