The best way to familiarize yourself with me and my work is to read my writing and/or attend an event or program. I offer group workshops and self-exploration experiences which incorporate my life coaching philosophies. I also work with a small number of one-on-one coaching clients, either by phone, Skype, or in person (depending on your location).

Here’s what I’ve learned so far about coaching and teaching, gleaned from my ongoing curiosity about people and years of working with real clients in intensive, one-on-one coaching situations and leading groups.

What doesn’t work:

• Telling people what to do
• Thinking that I know what’s best for another person
• Convincing people to follow my path, with me as their guide
• Believing that my clients’ progress is dependent on me or a reflection on me
• Needing people to change in order to feel successful as a coach or teacher
• Attaching to a particular outcome or the way things “should” be

What does work:

• Connecting with people who are already seeking change from within, or are aware of their own desire to change
• Providing a safe space for people to explore their own process at their own pace
• Asking lots of questions, and allowing people to discover where their own path will take them
• Telling stories and demonstrating ways of thinking that enable people to look at their own lives in different ways
• Celebrating the tiny, important steps that often take more courage than the setting of huge goals
• Consistency over intensity
• Being an example for my clients, but not needing them to follow any particular path
• Admitting openly to my own blind spots as a coach or teacher, knowing that I will not be able to help everyone, and embracing this as wisdom, not defeat

I want to work with clients who…

…are trying to achieve something extraordinary for themselves – this could mean a greater sense of inner peace, a feeling of fulfillment and joy, or a deeper connection with their authentic purpose; or accomplishment of any important goal;

…are ready to make a whole heart/mind/body commitment to action;

…are open to a process of learning and discovery that cannot be planned in advance;

…are willing to trust their own process, to love and accept themselves through each moment;

…AND believe that their dream is achievable through small steps over time.

I want to be there on the part of the journey where they discover what it means to reach all the way down, deep down to their heart, to see what’s real, and express it in the world;

I want to be there to witness and celebrate that moment of discovery when their soul opens up to the fullness of their own possibilities;

I want to open up a safe space both to listen and to be heard;

I want to see people find the song in their own lives, and sing it through their hearts into the world.

Ready to take action?

STEP ONE: Contact me.

If you are ready to explore these frontiers in your own life, send me an email with a brief (one-sentence) description of what you hope to gain from having a life coach.

STEP TWO: Complete your pre-work and enjoy your free consultation with me.

I will send you a Life Coaching Client Pre-Work questionnaire to complete, and we’ll talk either by phone or in person after I’ve read your responses.

STEP THREE: We decide together to start the process.

Once we both have a feel for whether we might be a good match for your coaching needs, then we’ll start the journey together. If I feel that there is another coach who might better serve your needs, I will happily provide you with a referral.
