What Can I Expect From Coaching

Coaching is a creative and thought-provoking process that inspires you to maximize your personal and professional potential.

Using a unique learning/developmental model, I help you to strategize, focus, and organize yourself to accomplish your goals. In essence, coaching reduces the struggle as you move forward. Our work together brings you clarity, focus, fulfillment, and a more positive outlook.

Coaching is convenient and easy to fit into a busy schedule. You can work with me over the phone so you never have to leave your home or office.

Soon after our work begins:

• You take yourself and what you want more seriously.
• You take more effective and focused actions immediately.
• You stop tolerating the unnecessary obstacles that get in your way.
• You create momentum to achieve more and become more balanced.
• You develop more powerful management skills.
• You set clear personal goals that meet your needs.
• You identify and eliminate the barriers that get in the way of achieving your goals.
• You communicate what you need and want from others in a more responsible way.

As your coach, I am your ally for support, guidance, and encouragement. You will go further than you ever would on your own. You will focus harder than you have ever focused. Because you need to replenish your energy for the hard work that you will be doing, I assist you to balance your life as you maximize your potential. By necessity, we work toward success with balance.

I hold you accountable for aligning your action with intentions to pursue the goals you set for yourself. When challenges and stumbling blocks arise, I help you identify options so that you keep moving forward.

You receive superior service and plenty of individualized attention from me. I work with a small number of select clients at any one time so that each client receives my full devotion. You will be able to contact me by phone or email between sessions to answer questions or receive "spot coaching." You will find that I send you articles, free reports and other relevant resources to make your journey easier. I enjoy providing this extra level of service because I enjoy seeing your success!

How Does the Coaching Process Work?

Complimentary initial consultation. We begin by determining if coaching is right for you and if we are a good fit to work together. I will ask you questions to clarify your focus and heighten your self-awareness.

Welcome session. During your first session I will lead you through a Values Clarification and Wheel of Life Exercise. Other initial assessments may be used depending on the focus of your coaching (e.g., personal success, business development, leadership, etc). As a result of the Welcome Session, you will establish two or three specific goals. We will develop a realistic plan for you to achieve your goals.

On Going coaching sessions. This is where we track your progress, maintain accountability, consolidate your learning, focus your time, identify opportunities and resources for goal achievement, and resolve challenges to overcome obstacles. Coaching makes your journey toward fulfilling your potential more effective, efficient, and enjoyable. Yes, hard work can be fun!

3-Month review. After three months we will evaluate our work together, your overall progress, and determine the best way for you to move forward. You should experience tangible gains that leave no doubt as to the value of your investment in coaching.

Added Value Services. In addition to the regular meetings with me, you will have access to:

• Private Client’s Area to access forms, documents and additional materials to supplement coaching.
• Summaries of session highlights. Clients tell us they find these summaries to be extremely valuable for recalling key insights and keeping them on track. 
• Phone and email access between sessions to answer questions or receive "spot coaching."

I limit the number of clients I work with at any one time. This permits me to provide these added value services and individualized attention that maximizes the value of coaching for you.

Satisfaction Guarantee. Your satisfaction is my priority, and I offer a money-back guarantee on all products and services. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, just let me know, and I will refund your money.

Who Benefits most from Coaching?

You're highly competent.
Those who truly want to be at the top of their game in all aspects of life readily partner with a coach to bring out their personal best. Simply put, professionals have coaches. Amateurs don't.

Coaching focuses on positive performance outcomes, rather than remedial issues. There is tremendous difference between individuals who want coaching and those who need coaching. In fact, those who "need" coaching likely are not in a position to benefit from coaching. Instead, they often need counseling for personal matters and/or remedial forms of training to address workplace performance.
 
You're busy or working on big plans.
In truth, all of our clients are extremely busy. That's why our services are designed for convenience and fit easily into a busy schedule. The 30 minutes you spend with a coach can shave hours from your workweek AND improve your bottom line.
 
You’re ready for a personal or professional breakthrough.
You may be starting or growing a business, making a career transition or re-evaluating life choices.

Examples of Tap the Potential clients include: 

• A business owner or manager developing higher levels of emotional intelligence, dealing with rapid change, leading more effectively, and achieving breakthrough results with his team.
• An independent professional finding the quickest and most natural path to establishing and maintaining a successful professional practice that supports a balanced, fulfilling life.
• An entrepreneur increasing revenues by 300%, managing more effectively, and finding the time to enjoy her success.
• An individual re-discovering his sense of purpose, successfully changing careers, while finding meaning and life balance.
• A retiree seeking to start a new career because she still has much to offer the world.

What is the Real Value of Coaching?

When you want to improve your earning potential and your overall quality of life, coaching is one of the best investments you can make. The positive outcomes from coaching will affect many areas of your life - business, career, relationships, health and fitness, spiritual matters, and others. Most importantly, the results are attained faster and more effectively by partnering with a professional coach. If you could do it quickly on your own under existing circumstances, you would already be there.

The ROI figures for coaching are quite astounding! The February 19, 2001 issue of Fortune magazine revealed the results of a poll of executives and upper level managers who had six to twelve months of coaching with a Doctoral or Masters level coach. When the executives were asked to give a “conservative estimate” of the monetary payoff from the coaching they had received, they valued the coaching at six times the cost of the coaching.

Similarly, in 1998, the International Coach Federation reported a study that found 98.5% of coaching clients said their investment in coaching was well worth the money. With such potential benefit from coaching, it is no wonder Kiplinger's magazine repeatedly endorses coaching with an ICF-certified coach as a great financial investment to energize your career and enhance your personal life.  

The tangible outcomes achieved from coaching include: 

• Increased income
• Increased productivity
• Increased long-term earning potential
• Improved work/life balance

There are also a number of "intangible" benefits of coaching, including:

• A confidential relationship and sounding board
• Increased accountability to align action with intention
• Enhanced well-being and life satisfaction
• The development of a constructive mindset related to optimism, hope and future-mindedness
• Enhanced positive personal traits, such as the capacity for love and work
• Expanded ability to access your high talent and wisdom
• Increased courage
• Improved Interpersonal skills
• Increased persistence and resilience—you will bounce back from setbacks much faster
• Heightened creativity
• Mindful presence
• Increased capacity for humor
• Accelerated consciousness and spiritual journey
