How Coaching Works

Coaching is used to expand a talented individual’s repertoire of skills and competencies to build capacity and help one develop as a leader. Coaching is also used to help individuals identify opportunities and possible next steps in one’s career and life. Coaching is a tool for individuals and teams to see new possibilities and deliver with greater speed. For example, a coach can help an individual or a team:

  • Choose and commit to a new purpose or strategy

  • Find clarity of what the current reality is about by increasing awareness

  • Learn through practice and trying new things

Coaching is a deeply individualized experience. To understand how coaching works, I like to start with a complimentary conversation about what you’re working on, or what you’re looking for. We’ll ask each other questions, and learn if we’re a fit. If so, we’ll create an agreement, develop your focus and begin our work together.

Clients typically meet with me twice per month. We can meet face-to-face, by phone, via Zoom webconference. I am based in Seattle, and will travel to clients offices across the Seattle/Bellevue Metro area. I also meet with more distant clients by phone or Skype.

Once we begin our work, we will utilize a variety of tools and frameworks to help identify goals and hone-in on the work to be done.

Client outcomes can include:

  • Greater Confidence

  • Increased Engagement at Work

  • Improved Work Performance

  • Improved Time Management

  • Greater Self Awareness

  • Improved Accountability

  • Greater Work/Life Balance

  • Improved Relationships
