It isn’t important your industry or title, but that you are motivated to change. Coaching tools and techniques work across the board.
When working inside companies, my focus is coaching for business communication, leadership, and interpersonal relationships. I assist organizations in improving morale, team-building, communication, and leadership capacity. I love working with business leaders, because as the “top” of the organization changes, so do those working for that individual, and then a larger impact is made.
My Coaching Style
I excel in helping my clients realize their goals and achieve personal growth. I am direct, supportive, powerful, quick to the core issue, honest, insightful, sensitive, and caring. My clients move quickly toward their goals and tend to work at “deep” levels that focus on changing underlying habits, patterns, and self image.
There are more and more people calling themselves coaches now. So, why would you consider hiring me as your coach, especially if we haven’t met?
Coaching is personal, so make sure you hire a coach you feel comfortable with. I would like an opportunity to talk with you about your needs and how I work, to see we are a good match. We can do this during a complimentary discovery session. Here are some of the things that may distinguish me from other coaches.
Training — I was trained by CTI (The Coaches Training Institute). Their coaching model is an excellent one. The basic premise is that clients are “whole, resourceful, and creative”. As such, clients are presumed to have their own answers. It is then up to the coach to help clients uncover their answers and remove blocks to success (such as fear).
Unlike mentoring and consulting, coaching (using the CTI model) does not consist of giving advice and helping. It rather consists of asking the right questions, challenging, supporting, and intuiting. This is the most powerful way to help clients make changes. Many people feel comfortable with me in one conversation.
Intuitive — I have a strong intuition and I use it when coaching. I share my intuitions with clients. They are usually powerful. If they don’t “land” right, they often bring up another answer that does work!
My Approach — In coaching clients, my approach is–Direct, Supportive, Powerful, Quick to the core issue, Honest, Insightful, Sensitive, and Caring.
Resulting Success — My clients make progress!
