You have dreams for your future. You want to make progress, but sometimes you feel stuck. And a million ideas are coming at you.
Too many of us are trying to be someone else.
Consultants offer expertise and advice. Counselors diagnose. Pastors try to get you “plugged in” to the church’s programs. Sometimes friends listen, briefly. They might even say, “You got this.” How much help is that?
But you don’t always need advice, expertise, therapy, information, or inspirational platitudes.
Sometimes you need a different kind of help.
Sometimes you need a focused conversation that lets you set the agenda, talk without interruption, and process your goals and desires out loud.
Sometimes you need coaching.
Coaching is not problem-focused. It’s about flourishing and thriving.
As a coach, I help you accomplish your personal or professional goals by raising your awareness of the personal resources you’ve already acquired, the opportunities already around you, and the obstacles (within and without) that undermine you.
With greater awareness, you will become more comfortable in your own skin, gaining the confidence to make better decisions and build closer relationships.
You’ve acquired and honed many character traits and skills, but you may be undervaluing them. You may be trying to be like those you admire, but losing track of yourself in the process.
What are the Benefits
of My Coaching?
Engagement with What You Love
You’ll become engaged and connected to who you are and what you were built for.
Focus
You’ll be able to step away from distractions, think out loud as I listen closely, and, week by week, keep your eye on the prize.
Support and Partnership
You’re no longer on your own. I create a safe space for you to share your ideas without having to defend and prove their value. I’ll help you both dream and get concrete. But you are the agenda-setter.
Move From Idea to Implementation
You’ll be able to break your vision into manageable steps, letting go of perfectionism.
Confidence & Reduced Stress
You’ll shoot higher, but feel less overwhelmed.
Practicality and Consistency
You’ll develop endurance and steady habits.
How Does Coaching Differ from
Counseling and Consulting?
While consulting tends to be about expertise and advice.
Counseling tends to be about the diagnosis and treatment of emotional disorders.
Coaching is a partnership in which I help you clarify your life vision by listening and asking questions to increase your awareness of your personal resources and the obstacles that thwart your progress and motivation.
While coaching is not counseling, it can do a lot to minimize anxiety, frustration, and depression. Why? Sometimes, emotional difficulties are rooted in a lack of practical action and vision. And being listened to when you are honest helps you feel less isolated and pessimistic.
Consulting does not have much of a place in coaching unless the client requests some specific information related to the goals discussed in the coaching session. For example, a coach might offer knowledge or resources if a client asked for tips on writing a personal narrative or building a website.
