| Are You Fulfilled? |
|
Does your life make you truly happy? Are you living the life you want? Coaching can help you see what it is that you truly want and see the obstacles we create to get in our own way. |
| Choice |
|
Life is all about choice. How conscious are you in the choices that you make? Do you live your life from a position of power or do you believe that all the choices have been made for you? Coaching can help you see your choices. |
| Purpose |
|
Do you feel a sense of purpose in your life? Are you so swept up in the day to day tasks that you lose sight of the important parts of your life? Coaching can help you see the forest from the trees. |
| Presence |
|
Presence is about being fully alive regardless of how you feel. It's about being exactly where you are at the current moment and feeling what is truly present for you. There's no right or wrong feeling - you are exactly where you need to be. Fully experiencing our feelings can help shift us into new places. |
What gets you jazzed?
What are you passionate about?
Are you living your life in a way that gets you jazzed and supports your passions?
Do you find yourself holding back or settling for less that what you truly want? Then a coach may be for you.
Life coaching is a powerful alliance that helps you live an authentic life that honors your values and your dreams. Coaching involves your entire life - your mind, body and spirit. Through coaching you can explore what you truly want out of life and find ways to get what you want - even when you feel stuck.
Coaching creates a powerful relationship. However, rather than instruct, advise or problem solve, the job of the coach is to ask questions, listen and empower.
As your coach, I believe you are already great and it's my job to provide support to enhance the skills, resources and creativity you already have to achieve extraordinary results and satisfaction. I am your advocate. I can help you discover what it is that you truly want. I know that you have the answers to the major questions or challenges in your life - even if those answers aren't apparent to you. My job is to help you find the answers you are looking for within yourself.
What is Coaching?
A coaching relationship is probably unlike any relationship you've had before. The foundation of our relationship is the truthfulness and authenticity. I will be truthful and authentic in how I see you. More importantly, I will be truthful and authentic in how you see yourself. I will tell you what I see. I will tell you where your are strong and I will tell you where you hold yourself back. The coaching relationship is not necessarily nice, but it is absolutely real and authentic and this relationship always holds your heart in the highest place.
As your coach, I am entirely focused on you. I listen to you to become aware of who you really are and completely support what your want. I help you define your values and goals and hold you accountable for what you say you want. I am genuinely curious about you and am completely committed to what you want in your life.
Coaching is not about solving problems; although problems will be solved. Coaching is not about improving performance, reaching goals or achieving results; although these will happen too. Coaching is about discovery, awareness, choice and permission. Most of all, coaching is about finding your passion!
Many of us are familiar with hiring a consultant. A coach is not a consultant. A consultant is someone who is expected to have all the answers. A coach does not have all your answers. Although I bring a lot of experience to my work as a coach, I do not have ready answers for everything. I do help you to see your life from new perspectives; I help you see behaviors that can make you stuck. I ask a lot hard questions. Most importantly, I hold that you are whole and capable of finding the answers you need.
Some of us may have had negative experiences with coaches previously in our lives. Many times these experiences were because the coach had his or her own agenda in mind - not yours. As your coach, I'm not your father, daddy, dominant top or drill sergeant. We are equals contributing to a relationship that is focused on you. Consider the potential in working with a coach who is focused on helping you define and achieve your agenda. As your coach, I'm there to support you in your discovery and growth.
At its core, coaching is a conscious relationship. This relationship is a designed alliance - we consciously design how we will work together. My responsibility in this relationship is to discover, clarify and align myself with what you want to achieve. I encourage you to discover as much as you can about yourself. I elicit your solutions and your strategies. I will invite you to break your preconceived rules where those rules get in your way. I will call you forth to fully live your life!
A great tool to look at your entire life is the assessment wheel. I use this tool to help you measure your satisfaction with all aspects of your
life.
Click to download the Assessment Wheel.
The assessment contains nine areas that are a way of looking at your entire life. The areas include: career, fun, money, physical environment, personal growth, health, friends, family and your intimate relationship.
If, after completing the wheel, you are looking for enhanced satisfaction and balance in these areas then life coaching may be for you.
Body-Based Coaching
Your body is a mirror for what's going on in your life. Have you noticed that when things are flowing well, you don't notice any aches and pains? On the other hand, when your life isn't flowing as well, you may be aware of more pain or tension in your body. The mind, spirit and body are all connected.
Coaching looks at your whole life. Everything we do is intertwined and coaching integrates all parts that make up you - your mind, your spirit and your body. There may be times when you want to focus on your erotic life. There may be other times when your focus is with another part of your life. The work we do together can address all aspects of you.
The Process
There's no standard coaching session. I work with life coaching clients primarily over the phone so this is a great opportunity for those not in the San Francisco area. The first step to begin a coaching relationship is to contact me for a free introductory session. After this session you decide if coaching is something that would work for you. If you want to continue the relationship we would schedule a discovery session.
The discovery session is a longer than usual session - usually two hours. This one time session is intended to help me get to know you and what you're looking to change in your life. We focus on where are you now and where you want to go. This session sets the stage for our ongoing relationship.
After the discovery session, we establish a schedule for regular calls - usually three 50 minute calls a month. Although there are a few things I'll include on most calls - like a check in of how you are doing and what you've done since we last talked - the calls are primarily driven by what you want to talk about. We'll then focus on a couple of things that are important to you. We may look at how you are approaching a situation, setting goals, explore obstacles to your progress and find ways to support your goals.

Introductory Special
The first step to begin a coaching relationship is to contact me for a free introductory session. This session is generally around 50 minutes and is designed to give you an idea of what coaching is all about and answer any questions you may have. After this free session you can decide if coaching is something that would work for you.
If you want to continue the relationship we would schedule a discovery session. The discovery session is a two hour phone call where we spend time to dive deeper into what you want to achieve through coaching. It's where I get to really know who you are. We also define the coaching relationship that works best for both of us. The charge for this two hour session is $200.
My coaching fees are highly competitive and reflect the training, the passion and the value that I put into our relationship. I'm offering three phone sessions a month for $200. This is an investment in one of the most important things in your life - you! I invite you to email or phone me to find out more about this important work.
