Coaching Approach

Life coaching is a deeply personal, powerful, and practical process. When you hire a professional life coach, you hire a partner. Since coaching is conducted conveniently over the phone, I have clients in the Minneapolis area and across the United States. No matter where you live, we can create a powerful coaching partnership.

As your coach, my job is to listen and to understand who you are so that I can best help you to become the person you want to be. I have my own life coach and credit the process of life coaching as a major contributing factor to my personal and professional satisfaction and success.

Professional Life Coaching is a partnership that challenges, supports, and empowers you. My style is pragmatic and authentic, and my ultimate goal is to bring out your personal best. Each client's life coaching experience is unique. We work together in a confidential, judgment-free, safe zone. You step outside your daily roles and responsibilities to constructively work on yourself and interpersonal communication strategies. Laughter is encouraged. Trust, honesty, and accountability are essential.

Many of my clients experience discontent and frustration due to unproductive communication and self-defeating emotional habits. Through professional life coaching, clients become more emotionally intelligent and socially intelligent in life and at work. Strategic coaching programs help clients to:

• Cultivate healthy interpersonal habits
• Learn how to manage emotions
• Make smarter behavior choices
• Communicate with control, clarity, and confidence

Why is life coaching so effective? Professional life coaching is an investment in yourself that yields measurable results. We are all busy in our lives and careers. Working on yourself - in your life and career - is essential to maximizing strengths and increasing potential. Through coaching, your goals are clarified and achieved faster with increased self-awareness and confidence.

Life coaches are not a client's significant other, spouse, friend, parent, boss, or mentor. The life coach is a trusted, professional partner who holds only the client's agenda without passing judgment or giving advice and opinions. The client makes all of his or her own decisions and choices while being supported, challenged, and championed by the life coach.

The client is the primary driver of life coaching sessions. The life coach helps the client to increase self-awareness and clarity so that the client's choices are aligned with what is most important for his or her life to result in sustainable change. The dynamic created between the client and life coach empowers the client, fuels energy, and generates insights. These new insights are leveraged with constructive action plans to which the life coach holds the client accountable. The client must choose to be accountable.

Hire a life coach who you believe will help you achieve your goals in a manner that compliments your learning and communication styles.
