- What are examples of techniques
used to life/business coach?
As your life/business coach, I will
inquire, encourage, advise, challenge, make requests,
and listen for your truth so that you remain aligned
with who you are, your goals, your values, and your
vision. My focus will be completely
on you and what you want in life. I stand for
you first and foremost, not just your goals. The life/business coaching relationship is designed by both of us,
and may be refined through ongoing two-way feedback.
Even though I am committed to the journey, you will
ultimately be responsible for actions taken (or not
taken) in your life throughout the process. Back
to Questions
- What is expected of me as
a client?
I expect
your best. We should only be working together
if you are ready to do and be your best. If you are
not doing your best, I will ask you to do so. If you
cannot be your best at the moment, I will understand
and do what I can so that you can be heard, loved, and
back on your path. Back
to Questions
- What requests are made of
me as a client?
From time to time, I will make
a direct request, such as "Will you accomplish X by
the end of the month?" You may accept the request, counter-offer
(e.g.: "I can't do X, but I can do Y") or decline. I
will always support you, whichever way you respond.
There is always something to learn from our responses
or reactions. Back
to Questions
- Does a life/business coach give
advice or recommendations?
If I am sure of the situation,
and you are open to it, I will make specific suggestions
on how to handle a problem or go for an opportunity.
If I am not sure, I will say so. Regardless, use the
best of what I say and use your own judgment. Never
substitute your own judgment with mine or anyone else's.
Back to Questions
- How direct is a life/business coach?
My nature is very direct. When
I hear a funny tone in your voice or notice something
amiss, I will ask you about it. Often, it is these small
moments that offer the chance to resolve something.
I am always truthful. I believe we all deserve this.
However, I will not confront you; I will merely invite
you to take a closer look. Again, it is up to you if
you want to pursue the invitation. Everything we do
and say is a sign and a reflection. It is about looking
at what is. Back
to Questions
- What is expected between
sessions?
I typically ask you to determine
two or three goals or actions to focus on between our
calls. If I am pushing you too much, say so. If you
want to be pushed harder, just ask. Back
to Questions
- How much can I expect from
my life/business coach?
I want to hear it all. If you have
a personal problem, are upset with something (even me
or the life/business coaching), are just starting to realize
something big, or can't wait to share a breakthrough,
please call or e-mail me. This is part of what I offer
to you. Back

- How do I get the most from
life/business coaching?
I want you to benefit greatly from
our life/business coaching calls and the time in between.
The following briefly outlines some of the things you
can do to maximize the value of your life/business coaching
experience.
Focus on what you really
want.
Life/business coaching works best when
you have clear goals that are based on your true values.
First, I encourage you to deeply consider what you want
your life to look like. Then, identify the gaps between
the way things are now and how you would like them to
be. Many people struggle with this, so if you are unsure
about what it is you really want to achieve, life/business coaching
is an excellent tool that can provide you with greater
clarity.
Get to know yourself newly.
Working with a sensitive and empathic
life/business coach is a healthy way to grow. Most clients
hire a life/business coach to work on specific goals, and
much of the time focus on these objectives. Yet, with
life/business coaching, many clients discover new parts of
themselves, and find they can adjust their goals to
be more in alignment with who they really are. This
discovery process is natural, and you do not need to
concentrate on it, just realize it will likely happen.
Accelerated personal
and professional growth is the hallmark of life/business coaching.
Double your development
goals and speed.
Part of working with me, as your
life/business coach, is that I will ask a lot of you. Not
too much I hope, but perhaps more than you may have
been asked recently. I request that you be willing to
experiment with fresh approaches and try new beliefs.
I will invite you to tell the absolute truth, raise
your personal standards, and set higher goals. Ultimately,
you need to decide what is best for you; however, the
more willing you are to grow, the greater the benefits
from life/business coaching.
Come prepared to each life/business coaching call.
To get the most value out of the
life/business coaching session, I request that you prepare
an agenda for each call. You may either write it in
your own format, or I can provide a "Life/business coaching
Prep Form." This does not have to be a big, time-consuming
event, usually just 10-20 minutes. Investing that small
amount of time to prepare for the call and e-mailing
an agenda to me beforehand, will have a huge impact
on our session. You will always have the flexibility
to modify or alter the agenda if something else comes
up you need to talk about.
Do your homework if assigned.
Each week you will decide on the
actions or goals you want to focus. I expect you to
keep the commitments you make and will work with you
to make sure you are setting worthwhile, realistic and
achievable objectives. If you know that a busy week
is ahead, your homework might be as simple as thinking
about a new perspective. If you have more time, you
might decide to handle a big task. Regardless, I will
hold you accountable to your commitments and encourage
you to do your best. Back
