You are a unique individual and are resourceful, naturally creative and whole. There is nothing wrong or broken about you and it's not my job to "fix" you. We start from where you are, investigate what is keeping you from what you want and build on your existing abilities to help you achieve your outcomes.
Coaching is a designed relationship in which you and I are active collaborators for the purpose of meeting your needs. While you work on the mechanisms of your life, I'm there handing you tools and holding the flashlight, leaving you with both hands free to do the work.
You are the expert about your life and my role is to be curious and to ask the questions that help you objectively explore options and discover new possibilities. I am not the expert who tells you what to do.
To get a different result, you must do something different. I ask my clients to take actions outside of our coaching conversations. These "practices" develop from our conversations and provide practical and insightful experiences to help you move forward. Just having an insight and thinking differently isn't usually enough. It's important to do something different to create lasting change. Practices accelerate this learning.
