FAQ

  • The primary goal is to help you question the beliefs and ideas that limit your perspective. This process allows you to see a new way forward to achieve your desires.

  • No, coaching is distinctly different from therapy. Coaching focuses on moving you forward, not on delving into your history or trauma.

  • You can expect to gain new insights, tangible behavior changes, and greater clarity. Coaching is personalized and guided, which helps to give your changes staying power.

  • No, coaching is a partnership where you are the expert on yourself and your own agenda. The coach is an expert on the coaching process, helping you find what works best for you.

  • Our process includes three simple steps: identifying your limiting ideas, shifting your perspective, and then capitalizing on your strengths. I am there to partner with you and coach the whole person, not the specific problem or just a specific outcome.

  • The purpose of the initial conversation is to build trust and cover all the necessary logistics. This includes ensuring you understand confidentiality, financial arrangements, and what the experience will be like.

  • Yes, I maintain the strictest levels of confidentiality with all parties involved, as agreed upon. There are specific legal conditions under which information will not be kept confidential, which are covered in the coaching agreement we’ll both finalize and sign.
