How I Work With Clients:
I
partner with my clients in a collaborative relationship to
create the life they envision for themselves. We usually begin
by looking at WHO they are, and we work to discover their
needs, values, and delights! From there, clients begin to
design where they want to be, what they want their life to
look like. We then work backward...strategizing and deciding
what the very first step will be. The accountability and support
of a coach allows them to move forward and take continuous
action where they had been stuck. For the most part, I have
more faith in my clients than they have in themselves!
