What is coaching?
A balanced and happy life comes from making decisions, being clear and being organized. Coaching can help you clear the clutter in your life, take action, move into new places, become the entrepreneur or business leader you want to be, and help you make your personal life much more satisfying. Even a question such as what kind of car to purchase is a relevant issue if not making a decision is causing delays and stagnation in other areas of your life. Here is an example of how coaching works: a few of my clients from Denmark work with me on the Danish cultural effects of "Janteloven" and the corporate atmosphere. In Denmark, Janteloven is an unspoken rule discouraging anyone from thinking they have done anything notable. My clients are working to move out of that mindset and learning to be proud of their accomplishments so they can achieve even more - which in turn benefits the country of Denmark. From the spiritual and emotional to the office or daily lifestyle, coaching empowers! Your coach is your personal advisor.
What kinds of topics are covered in coaching?
We cover many topics, from career and finances to famly lifestyle, dating and relationships and ways to get that special edge and move forward in your career. You as a client are asked to set goals and then I will prompt you with various questions meant to cut to the heart of ideas that get in the way of personal and professional success. Homework is designed to test skills and move toward goals.
How does coaching differ from therapy?
The coaching relationship is not a therapeutic relationship. We are partnering in removing the obstacles in your career and lifestyle. Coaching is having someone there to lsiten, not to diagnose emotional problems or feel your pain. Your coach tells you to pull it together and make a plan to positively move forward from your situation. The coaching relationships is a collaborative business arrangement. Our alliance is based on co-creating a balanced, satisfying and successful life for you.
How long does the coaching relationship last?
The coaching relationship can last one hour, three months, six months, a year or more. It depends on your needs and our success togeher.
Why is having a mission statement important?
As the old saying goes, those without vision perish! You will never get anywhere is you do not clearly know where you want to go and how you intend to get there. Knowing what you want in life is a foundational step.
Will other people know I am being coached?
Not unless you tell them. My clients are guaranteed confidentiality.
Do you only coach people in the USA?
No. The top three countries where my clients are located at the USA, the United Kingdom and Australia. I also have clients in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany and a few other countries.
