I partner with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
Every single one of my coaching clients has come from referrals or connecting in person. Because of this, you won’t see much of me or my business on social media or in the press. My LinkedIn network is full of people I’ve actually met or worked with at some point in my life. This aligns with my personal values and allows me to show up fully for everyone in my life: my family, friends, clients and even people I’m meeting for the first time.
With over 2000 hours of practice I am certified (PCC) by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), iEQ9 Integrative Enneagram as well as by the globally recognized Co-Active Training Institute (CPCC). I am committed to supporting the ICF's Code of Ethics in my practice and am a firm believer in upholding the coaching community's integrity by supporting both ICF and other governance such as the EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council). As a coach, I continuously work on my own personal development by completing programs such as The Hoffman Process and courses on neuroscience and coaching.
I'm a firm believer in coaching within context for my corporate clients. If I coach you in a vacuum it can be a challenge to deepen your learning and achieve true transformation. I will learn about your environment, often times speaking with your leadership team, including those that support you such as a Chief of Staff or Executive Business Partner. I also use perspective-building tools such as the Enneagram to support your leadership journey.
When you want to change, are ready for massive action and are open to the possibilities of transformation — this is when it can be beneficial to work with a leadership coach.
Typically, we'll meet by phone or video for 1-hour sessions, twice a month. The minimum time commitment is 6 months or 12 sessions. We will co-create and design a safe and courageous space of communication that is completely confidential. Initially, we'll work on articulating your values and your life purpose (your "why") and setting a framework for what you'd like to accomplish in the coaching.
Coaching and mentoring can be complimentary, however they are not the same. A mentor will provide advice for their mentee (client) based on their experience and skills. A mentor may also support someone with encouraging comments and feedback. In a mentor- mentee relationship the mentor is the expert. A coach comes to a client with a beginner’s mind. A coach does not provide advice. The coach is there to acknowledge, champion, ask powerful questions and challenge the client. In a coach-client relationship the client is the expert in their own life. Or, as the European Mentoring and Coaching Council defines it “Mentoring is a learning relationship, involving the sharing of skills, knowledge, and expertise between a mentor and mentee through developmental conversations, experience sharing, and role-modeling. The relationship may cover a wide variety of contexts and is an inclusive two-way partnership for mutual learning that values differences.”
Coaching and therapy can also be complimentary and yet they are very different. First, licensed therapists can diagnose and treat conditions. Coaches do not diagnose or treat. Second, therapy is about interpreting past events, problem-solving, healing wounds and how to cope with those wounds. Coaching is about the present and future. A coach uses intuition based on deep listening, not interpretation. Third, therapy assumes that the client needs fixing. Coaches know the client is naturally creative, resourceful and whole and does not need fixing.
We offer monthly or package fixed rates for individuals and companies. You should expect your investment to start at $12,000 USD for 6 months which includes 2 sessions per month with additional support with accountability as needed. If you are C-Suite or in leadership there may be additional costs as I consult with your team for contextually-driven coaching.
If you are a new coach going through a certification program I offer deeply discounted mentor coaching. Contact me for a free introductory call to discuss.
