Have you ever felt stuck, had trouble making a decision, or accomplishing your goals?  If you are ready to move forward to a solution, then you are ready for coaching.  Compassion can feel comforting and safe, but alone it doesn’t create action.  Action can be effective but feel punitive, pressured and even judgmental.  But compassion plus action – there’s the sweet spot! When you and I bring those together, possibilities explode.

In most of the coaching world you can be gentle and kind or you can get things done.  I have the ability to bring these two styles together.  Pursuing your goals with passion while respecting your style and grace is the combination that moves you forward.  This may seem an odd combination to some, yet together we will find the “road less traveled” and that will “make all the difference.”

Be prepared to fully engage in the process of designing and producing your goals.

Transition  Clarity and effectiveness are critical when you transition from one stage of life to the next.  Moving to a new home, a new job, going to college, empty nest or new child can create chaos.  An easy flow in your relationships and organization in your life provides the basis for you to achieve your full possibility. I can help you bring balance and energy back to your life.  We will focus on that new life and take substantive steps to get there.

Leadership   Are you ready to manage processes and lead people to the outcomes that your boss, your board, and you are expecting?  Authentic leadership can occur at any level in an organization.  I have worked at every level, processing paperwork, setting policy in administration and establishing the culture in the c-suite.  Together we will discover how you can stand up for yourself, be heard and yet maintain your professional presence.

Legacy  If you overheard two of your friends talking at your funeral, what would you want them to say?  The seeds you plant, the ripple effect you create in your family and in your community will exist far longer than your time in this life.  Thinking about your legacy can seem overwhelming and choosing where to focus may cause some anxiety.  I will help you identify and create the lasting impression you desire, and in so doing, you will change the world.

 

    When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.

    I found it difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.

    When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I began to focus on my town.  I couldn’t change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.

    Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family.  My family and I could have made an impact on our town.  Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.
