• ENJOY IT!  This is one of the few times that it is all about you.  
    You have my full attention. I am trained to really hear not only
    what is in your head, but also your heart.  While your issues
    may be quite serious in nature, there will be lightness and
    laughter on the calls. Working with your coach can be
    something you look forward to.

  • BE READY FOR THE CALLS.  Fill out the prep form and have
    it submitted prior to the session. This saves lots of time and
    avoids going through catch up conversation on the call.  On
    those days when you feel frazzled or not ready for the call,
    make it anyway, as it can be very valuable in helping you deal
    with stress.

  • BE FLEXIBLE.  Give yourself permission to enjoy flexibility.  
    Because we are talking about the present and the future, there
    may be things that change and completely shift your focus.  I
    am fine with that and hope you are too.

  • BE AWARE OF CHANGES.  You will find yourself with fewer
    problems along with increased effectiveness and satisfaction
    with your life. You will also find yourself being very clear on
    what you want and how to get it. These are natural outcomes
    of working with a coach who is well matched to you.

  • AVOID TIME FRAMES FOR COACHING.  I attract clients who
    want to make significant changes.  However, often additional
    goals are added as time goes on, a shift is made or an
    unexpected event changes the direction of the coaching.  
    Sometimes people commit (either openly or privately) the
    length of time for the coaching relationship.  This is generally
    not a grand idea.  My clients tend to work with me for a long
    time, as there are new challenges and development issues.  
    When there is completion, it will be clear and openly
    discussed.   We can then agree on the course of action that
    will serve you best.

  • BE REALISTIC.  Some coaching sessions will have those “a-
    ha” moments that help you turn corners, some provoke new  
    ideas and creative action, and some will simply  be times where
    the above does not apply, but are just part of the overall
    process.  Be okay with that.

  • KNOW THE POTENTIAL.  Each call lasts approximately 45-60
    minutes, but you may reflect on it all week.  If you don’t have a
    focus or a passion right now, we will work on that!
