How is coaching different from therapy?
Although there are many schools of thought, therapy focuses on analyzing
and understanding one’s past. Emphasis is placed on past events that have
contributed to the development of the person as a whole. In coaching we
focus on where you want to go, what your aspirations are and create a plan
to get you there. We will seek to develop an understanding of who you are,
your personality and what works best for you in order to most effectively
move you forward.
How is coaching different from consulting?
Rather than depending on the advice of an expert who tells you what to
do, coaching focuses on empowering the client to make informed decisions for
him/herself. The coach and client both provide information that allows the
client to grow professionally and take the steps necessary to develop
his/her business.

overwhelm and stress. We will address the obstacles that you are now facing
and develop ways to work through them. Waiting only delays the progress that

Can’t I just talk to my friends and family?
Although friends and family may love, support and encourage you, they are
personally involved in your life. A coach will not only motivate and
encourage you but will also hold your goal as achievable and attainable even
when you are experiencing road bumps. A coach will celebrate your successes
while helping you to build on your losses. A coach will also hold you
accountable for your actions,. As your coach, I will provide a structure to
guide and support you. I am 100% committed to YOU getting where you want to
be, even when you are having doubts.

How long does it take?
The term of the coaching contract depends on the needs of the client.
Change takes time. Some clients work on a goal or project, for a specified
period and then return to coaching later to work on the next piece. Other
clients choose to work on goals sequentially. We will design a program that
works for you.
Does it really work?
Coaching is absolutely effective when the client is ready to show up and
commit to the work. By hiring a coach, you are taking a courageous step
towards a bigger, fuller future for yourself. You are taking a giant step
towards making your goals a reality. Coaching works because of the ideas,
energy and motivation that is created when coach and client work together.
You will see your goals clearly and be able to chunk down projects into
manageable action steps. I will encourage, motivate and support you as you
take the steps necessary to get from where you are to where you want to be.
