invest in making dreams real

LIFE & CAREER DESIGN

Coaching is an investment. Living out your dreams is priceless.

Take a few minutes to write down those dreams and goals that keep whispering in your ear, wanting to become a reality in your life. You begin each year committed to finally doing that thing, and that other thing:

  • earn that graduate degree, nail that promotion, and/or ask your boss for that raise

  • launch your own business

  • get the pilot’s license

  • get your finances in order

  • save for tuition, retirement, or that vacation

  • go flex or part-time as you start a side gig—or plan and launch new retirement adventures

  • jump back into the dating scene, learn how to tango, spend more time with friends and loved ones

  • lose or gain10 pounds, meditate, exercise daily

etc., etc., etc.

These dreams want to become real, those goals want to get done, which is why they resurface as thoughts again and again.

Yet the calendar months and years fly by…lots of thinking, very little doing. You feel frustrated at how elusive these dreams seem to be. Or worse, you feel guilty for not getting (or staying) in action.

As your professional coach, I will skillfully guide you as you make your dreams real much sooner than you ever imagined. I am your GPS, cheerleader, truth-teller, and accountability partner.

I customize a coaching engagement package that:

  • best fits your needs

  • fits your schedule

  • delivers measurable results if you show up and do the work

TRANSFORM YOURSELF & YOUR LIFE

Over a six- to nine-month coaching journey, you partner with me to uncover and leverage, through powerful questions:

  • A fresh take on your current circumstances

  • Your dreams and fears

  • What matters most to you—what are your core personal values and beliefs

  • What has fueled past successes; what has stopped you from moving certain goals forward

  • What do you visualize as an extraordinary life - and how to use that vision as your North Star

  • Your best roadmap for getting there: milestones, week-to-week tasking, and how to quantify—yes, actually measure—progress

  • How to anticipate and navigate obstacles

  • How to stay energized, inspired, and on track

  • How to enjoy the ride, celebrate and learn from successes as well as from failures

You learn how to ask and answer any question you need to get refueled—and over time how to do so without a coach. You become skilled in coaching yourself and making your dreams real.


MY COACHING TOOLS

  • The foundation of my coaching is best described as lived core values. I help clients and organizations identify their unique set of core values—those characteristics that truly define the essence of who they are here to be, those things that are most important to them. We then measure alignment…and what the gap between present state and ideal state is. The result is a clear and powerful roadmap to personal and professional success. We then practice living, day-to-day, in alignment with those values. The outcome is living life as the best possible version of yourself, at home and at work. 

  • Consistent with coach training received from iPEC, I use the Core Energy Leadership™ model, which enables significant shifts in a client’s thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and actions so they can experience and measure results in any area of life they target.

  • My life and my coaching experiences prove that our thoughts indeed lead to our results. I use the Center for Self Leadership IFS-Inspired Coaching principles and exercises to help clients gain mastery over their internal dialogue, which significantly accelerates learning.

  • I use the Asana.com platform, customized for each engagement, as we set and track SMART goals, milestones, and tasks; complete assignments; and share resources.

  • Using my own custom reporting formats, I collect Client and Stakeholder ratings to quantify results at the midpoint and at the end of the engagement.  Coaching is my passion. While high-impact coaching is more art than science, I love it most when we can actually measure if and how much the needle moved.

The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them.
If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.
