My Life Coaching Methods

I am very action-oriented and feel strongly that determining what needs to be done and how to do it is more than half the battle.

(The other half is actually doing it -- and that's when having an accountability partner and a cheerleader becomes really helpful!)

So I feel that a big part of my job is helping you to identify realistic and reasonable goals. Once you feel good about those, we can work on the necessary steps to reach them.

Another of my life coaching methods is to always challenge my clients to see the big picture. Can you think of times when you've been mired in the details of a problem or situation? When that happens it's hard to see or think clearly about the best resolutions. That's when having an unbiased thinking partner to help you sort through the issues can really work well!

Or how about the times when you need both a listening ear AND a kick in the pants? I am adept at listening with empathy and concern. And, as I want to help you reach your goals, I will also give you the encouragement and support needed to help you move forward. (Or, if you prefer, I could give you a lecture, an ultimatum, or a "talking to" to get you moving!) This life coaching method is always handled with tact.

It does no good to get bogged down in the frustration, anxiety, or disappointment that different situations produce. Instead, I will acknowledge and validate your feelings and then help you to create some different choices. This is what will get you where you want to go!

Another of my life coaching methods is using homework. We will agree upon the actions for you to take during the week between sessions. These actions could include journaling about your goal, making 5 calls to potential customers, or having that important conversation with your wife.

I am knowledgeable in a variety of areas including relationships, dating, families, self-improvement, and improving communication. If you're interested in getting some information or education based on my experience, I am more than happy to share.

What to Expect in our Sessions

I will ask what brought you to coaching, what you'd like to achieve, and how I can be of service to you. You'll share your expectations of coaching, your goals, and how you envision me helping you.

We'll also discuss your motivation and whether or not you are truly ready to hire a coach. If you haven't already, take this Coachability Assessment to get a better idea of your readiness.

I will share my thoughts on how we might proceed with your particular goals and how my services can work for you.

At the end of the session, I will ask for your decision about whether you would like to hire me as your life coach.

If you are ready to be coached and don't have any overwhelming concerns about hiring me, the next step is to make a modest investment to give it a try and take it from there!

We will begin our session by clarifying your goal for the call. I will ask you pointed and direct questions to help get the issues out in the air. You will begin to figure out what will strategies will work best for you.

Towards the end of the session you will commit to completing planned action steps before our next session.

And that's generally what to expect in our sessions!
