Coaching is a process designed to help you take yourself to the next level on your upward journey. That might be from good to great, or from great to extraordinary, but it's ultimately about improvement, growth, and optimization. 

Coaching is an odd and wonderful thing. It’s really a series of conversations designed to evoke insights, re-write stories, increase awareness and knowledge, and to clear the obstacles that exist on the path from where you are to where you want to be. ​There are questions, challenges, experiments and homework. I’m a fan of analogies, as they provide a powerful way to facilitate understanding, so there’s a lot of those, too. It’s not unusual for there to be some swearing (at me, especially when I uncover one of those things that you know needs to be looked at but is also really uncomfortable, but also by me, though it’ll never be at you.)

I came to coaching after years of working as a psychotherapist. I entered the field of psychotherapy in 2002 because I wanted to do more meaningful work than what I'd experienced as an IT professional. Over time, that desire, combined with increased concerns about the state of the world, led to me seeking a path where I could make an even bigger impact. I found that path when I pivoted towards coaching and a focus on supporting purpose-driven professionals.

You'll hear some coaches talk at length about different techniques, approaches, and models and which ones are best. At the end of the day, though, it’s about the relationship, and for me it really comes down to this: can I help you see what you're not seeing and do what you're not doing so that you can get what you're wanting but not getting?

If this sounds intriguing to you, let’s have a conversation so we can discuss it further. Just schedule a consultation call, and we’ll take some time to explore your dreams, the obstacles to achieving them, and whether I’m the right person to help you make those happen.
