I know it’s bad practice, however I would like to start with what coaching isn’t; I will never tell you how to live your life, I will never tell you how you feel is wrong and I will never impose my idea of what a fulfilling life is onto yours. I’m not here to tell you where you’re broken or tell you where you should lead your life. 

I have a foundational belief that everyone who comes to work with me is a complete and whole person. They have survived for X amount of years without me and will continue to do so regardless of my involvement. Think of it more like you being the architect and I am the engineer, you are free to dream of anything you want to build in your life and I will help you with the nuts and bolts. I will help shine a light on areas that may hinder your expansion, but the end result will always be in your hands. I will be the most honest person I can be, I will listen and share without judgement and respect you and I will push you. My goal is always the same whoever I work with, how  can I help this person move into greater authenticity? How do we understand and overcome the obstacles that are preventing them from achieving whatever goals they have brought to me. 

If I am doing my job right as a coach then we will experience both comfort and discomfort throughout our time together. If you are looking for someone to just pat you on the shoulder and tell you “it will be alright”, then receiving coaching from me is not your best option. I will of course listen intently to what you are going through, however you will receive no platitudes from me, my version of “it will be alright” is “what do you want to do about this?”

Coaching is for those who are brave enough to get down-right honest with themselves.
