Life coaching is becoming a popular way to access strengths and accomplish goals or dreams. I am a graduate of The Institute for Life Coach Training for Employee Assistance Coaching Specialists, which is accredited by EAPA, HRCI, and International Coach Federation. I offer a professional approach used by the best coaches in the field, balanced with a solid therapy background. Life coaching has become effective as a way to move forward in your life in personal or professional areas. It is usually done over the phone and offered on a weekly or bimonthly basis for three months. I provide coaching to those people who are ready to set personal or professional goals and want support and encouragement in achieving them. We work together by outlining goals that will allow you to experience greater success and live a more meaningful life. My specialties are coaching professionals in the health care, media or legal fields. Depending on what your goals are I may encourage you to use assessment tools such as the Time Mastery Profile for time management or the DISC for a personality style assessment.
Executive Coaching
I am also in training with Jeremy Robinson of Executive Coach Academy in which not only do I meet with a client but I also get feedback from coworkers about my client. The sessions with my client are confidential and my client discusses with me who to approach for feedback. Those who provide feedback understand that it will be shared with my client. Towards the end of our working relationship, we create a development plan in order to provide a focus towards goals the client wants to achieve after the sessions end. Most clients choose to set goals around improving their leadership or changing a behavior or communication style.
