What is a Professional Certified Coach?
A Professional Certified Coach is a trusted mentor who can help you identify and uncover what keeps you from reaching your fullest potential. A PCC offers you a one-on-one relationship that provides a supportive and non-judgmental space to help you create what you want for yourself or your team. As your coach, I will help you strategize and acquire the tools you need to achieve your goals. A coaching session with me consists of steps to help you identify and reframe your thoughts, identify the "real" issue, look at what is happening in the present, and set an action plan to reach new goals. I can also help you break negative habits, acquire new methods of identification, and take action to achieve your maximum potential!
What types of people have Personal Coaches?
People from all walks of life work with professional Coaches to help attain their goals. Personal Coaches work with people in all areas of their life including relationships, careers, finance, health, and more. Working with a Personal Coach is not limited to any type of person, but is best for those who want to take initiative to bring about change. People who get a Personal Coach are committed to a more fulfilled life and career and are willing to keep an open mind to get there.
How will Life Coaching help?
The results will vary depending on what brings you to a Life Coaching relationship. If you get a Life Coach to help you out professionally, life coaching can help you make your current job more gratifying, gain better focus on managing your work, and market yourself more effectively. If your reasons are personal, you can find a life coach to help you improve your relationships, resolve ongoing negative behaviors, improve your overall health, and grow your spirituality. With life coaching, you can live a more balanced and enhanced life.
How will Business Coaching help?
As with Life Coaching, the results will vary depending on what brings you to a Business Coaching relationship. If you get a Business Coach to help you improve your current approach, a business coach can help you make your current strategic approach more productive, gain better focus on managing your work teams, market your business more effectively, set more attainable goals, develop strategic teams, and do data analysis.
What happens in a Coaching Session?
Each session is tailored to the client and will vary based on individual needs. In the beginning, we will discuss what you are committed to accomplishing through our work together and we will begin to create a plan to achieve your goals. Periodically, I will check in with you to help you see your progress, or to redirect it if that is the need. We will work together to acknowledge obstacles, explore alternate perspectives, and celebrate successes. With the conclusion of each session, we will revisit your goals and evaluate the next steps that are needed to achieve these results.
Do I really need a personal Coach, can't I just do it by myself?
Coaching can take you above and beyond your own personal limitations. More often than not, people try to achieve their greatest potential but don’t even realize what stands in their way. A personal Coach can offer an unbiased and objective perspective and can help you realize your patterns and habits. Most people experience that they are more efficient when working with a Professional Coach and that this provides the opportunity for them to better realize their potential. Life/Business Coaching can make your goals attainable and will give you support and encouragement along the way.
How is Coaching different from Therapy?
While the coaching I provide can be therapeutic, it is not therapy. Coaching is distinct from traditional therapy because it is not designed to address psychological issues. While emotional issues may arise, the primary focus of life coaching is to help you identify your goals, achieve them, and develop constructive habits and skills. There is little emphasis placed on the past with coaching, but instead, the focus is on creating what you want now and in the future.
What is your cancellation policy?
I require a 24-hour notice to cancel all sessions. Please be sure to contact me if you will not be able to make your scheduled appointment in order to avoid being charged for the session.
How long do people generally work with a Coach?
To experience the effectiveness of a life coaching program, I suggest clients make an initial three-month commitment. At the end of the three months, we will evaluate progress and discuss options for continued coaching.
Is personal coaching confidential?
What we discuss will be held in confidence and not shared with others. However, our discussions are not privileged for legal purposes. The privilege of confidentiality that exists for the clergy, therapists, and attorneys is not granted to coaching professionals. That said, life coaching is a confidential process, and your personal information will always be protected.
