Individual Personal Coaching
For the past 30 years, I’ve coached hundreds of leaders, executives, individuals, and students seeking to thrive in work and life. My purpose as a coach is to help my clients get where they want to go, be who they want to be, and successfully navigate any barriers to fulfillment in work and life, regardless of the challenges you’re facing. Through clarifying your life’s purpose, you are enabled to make your greatest contributions to the world, while experiencing deeper joy and satisfaction. The goal of individual coaching is to help you become self-generating and self-correcting over the course of our work together, so that you become your own coach by the time our work is done.
Trained as a spiritual director as well as a coach, I help my clients discover and offer their authentic gifts to the world. Having been certified as an integral coach, an energy codes coach, and a workplace mindfulness facilitator over the years, I use the tools from each of these disciplines when needed, tailoring my approach to each client’s needs.
The philosophical foundation that undergirds my coaching is Integral Intelligence®, a proprietary, holistic, integral approach developed over the years in my coaching work. This methodology guides my clients to learn how to access all forms of intelligence: cognitive, emotional, relational, somatic, and spiritual, building their ability to engage more effectively and with greater enjoyment in work and life. I also use models and practices from my book, The Thriver’s Edge: Seven Steps to Help You Live, Love, and Lead when helpful.
Guiding those in transition is one of my core coaching strengths. Having provided end-of-life care to patients and their families over the years, I am very comfortable working with those who are grieving, are facing the loss of a loved one, are ending a crucial relationship, or are dealing with the end of a job or career. Helping my clients learn to use pivotal life changes as a catalyst for growth results in deep and lasting transformation.
If you are looking for a coach to accompany you on your life’s journey, whether it’s clarifying your spiritual path and the gifts you are being called to offer the world, discovering deeper love and compassion for yourself or others, navigating a loss or transition, or even if you need to build the confidence to step into a larger role than you have played before, please email me. I would be delighted to set up a 15-minute complimentary coaching session to determine if my approach is a good fit for you and your needs.
The Individual Coaching Process
Zoom-Based Personal Coaching Programs
Most of my clients elect to work together for six months. I also offer a three-month program, as well as three month-extensions to any program you enroll in. Each coaching program, regardless of length, includes the following:
- An initial coaching assessment
- A tailored Coaching Plan
- Two zoom-based sessions each month for a total of six sessions for a 3-month program, twelve sessions for a 6-month program, and an additional 6 sessions for an extension to any program.
In between sessions, I will provide you with the following:
- Practices, inquiries, readings, self-observations, writing assignments, and other tailored activities to help embed your learning, as well as check-ins as needed.
Full Immersion In-Person Personal Coaching Programs
I offer a limited number of full-immersion in-person coaching programs in my home which take place over two days. The purpose of this program is to provide you with the opportunity to take a nurturing break from your daily life, roll up your sleeves, and do a deep dive into whatever issue(s) you wish to address. This focused attention will enable you to jump-start your coaching plan that we will develop on our first day working together.
This program includes lodging for two nights, dinner with me at a lovely restaurant nearby, hiking in the hills if desired, and eight hours of targeted personal coaching over two days. Our time together includes facilitated guided meditations, creative writing assignments, walking meditations, creation of a vision board, and ample time for self-care, rest, and reflection. These two days of full-immersion coaching are followed by eight sessions of zoom-based coaching over the next four months.
Following the immersion session and between each zoom-based follow-up session, I will provide:
- Practices, inquiries, readings, self-observations, writing assignments, and other tailored activities to help embed your learning, as well as check-ins as needed.
