How does coaching work?

Coaching works by means of weekly in-person or telephone sessions, whichever is more convenient. As your coach I will help you solve problems and make the most of opportunities. Each week I will give you homework which will include tasks, action steps, or changes you will commit to completing during the coming week. The homework gets you to take action and to integrate those changes into your life.

What you can expect from me as your coach…

• To respect your privacy and hold everything you say in strict confidence.
• To be on time, resourceful and attentive for our session.
• To listen fully to what you say, as well as what you are not saying.
• To make suggestions and offer solutions to problems.
• To give you unlimited amounts of compassion and strength.
• To anticipate challenges and help you develop strategic plans to handle them.
• To emphasize and speak to your strengths, not harp on your weaknesses.
• To make bold requests because I want you to win.

Some things you need to be willing to do…

• To set about creative action, not just creative thinking.
• To communicate your strengths, fears, successes and failures.
• To ask more of yourself.
• To produce significant results without adding stress.
• To experiment with new ideas.
• To redesign how you spend your time.
• To set goals that are much bigger than those you are used to.
• To start treating people differently.
• To start really taking care of yourself.

People have asked me…Why did I become a coach?

The first reason is because coaching is something I have been doing for the past 10 years. Having been a coach in the traditional sense has allowed me to work with elite athletes and business professionals both personally and professionally. I have had the opportunity to help them in their work environment by eliminating or managing the negative influences in their lives. Once that happens there is more room for growth and improvement.

The second reason is that I’m thrilled to be in a profession that allows me to use all the resources, skills and abilities I’ve accumulated over the years. I have an extensive tool kit for any situation that may arise.

Here's how you can have your own coach- risk free.

I want to make it easy for you to have a coach so here is what I am willing to do. Once you have decided that working with a coach is something you would like to try, call and set up your free one hour orientation session, after which you may decide to invest in coaching for one month. If after one month you don t think coaching is for you, or you feel you were not provided with substantial value, I will refund your entire investment- no questions asked. To assure you further, I will not deposit your check for thirty days.

Here’s how our coaching sessions will work.

The format is called tele-coaching. You call me at a specific time, usually once per week, at the same time each week. The calls last 30 or 60 minutes. You can choose either option. If you prefer, you may meet with me in person but most find the telephone to be the most practical way to communicate. You may also communicate with me via e-mail during the week to share any important news or to ask questions. It’s that simple and there are no other charges.

How can you get started?

The purpose of your free one hour orientation session is to get you off to a strong start by identifying your goals, needs, and challenges. I’ll have a chance to get to know you and build a foundation for our relationship. Together we will design the best way to work together as a team to accomplish your goals.

Call me if you believe having a coach will be of benefit for you. You can explain what you are up against and what you want to achieve. I’ll let you know if I can help, and suggest an initial strategy. I’ll make no sales pitch because I believe that coaching is not something that I sell you on; it’s something you invest in because you understand the potential benefits. Together we will create a safe, relaxed environment where you can be yourself and talk openly and honestly with me. My phone number is (610) 823-4496.

We all have untapped potential and special gifts to share with others. You can be one of the many people who have made the decision to move down the path of personal and professional development. If you feel ready to take the next step please call me.
