What is coaching?

Most people seek coaching in order to create for themselves a better life or meaningful work -- or to go after a dream. The coach provides structure and deep listening, helping you to overcome fears or barriers and to keep on track. You embark on a proactive inquiry process to deepen self-awareness of your talents, strengths, hurdles, and how you really want to spend your life. Coaching takes place by telephone 3-4 times per month from any location where you have phone access. Each week, the coach serves as your sounding board, challenges you, and holds you accountable to your plan. You could get there on your own but a coach helps you to overcome resistance, resolve dilemmas, and get there faster.
