Frequently Asked Questions
What is coaching?
Coaching is defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” Think of coaching as having a thought partner and soundboard who will:
Ask questions that encourage you to look inward and broaden your perspective.
Challenge you on assumptions and beliefs that are no longer serving you.
Encourage you to think and dream big.
Empower you to accomplish things you may not have thought you were capable of.
Articulate what you’re feeling and thinking in a way you may not have considered before.
Inspire you to move towards what you really want.
Why coaching?
Coaching is a powerful tool to help you gain perspective, think differently, and act in a way that helps you get closer to the life you want and goals you have for yourself. When working with a mentor, consultant, or teacher, they are often the subject matter expert. When working with a coach, we work together through the lens that YOU are the expert of your own life. As a coach, my role is to help you recognize this power, gain clarity around it, and use that clarity to inspire action.
Why me?
With over 10 years of experience working in, building, and leading teams in corporate America, and growing up as a competitive athlete, I fully understand the pressures and ‘shoulds’ that many of us face on a regular basis. I know how it feels to work towards a big goal, achieve said goal, and still feel like ‘is that it?’ My curiosity around this feeling is what led me to become a people leader, complete my Masters in Organizational Psychology (i.e. why we do what we do at work), and become a Certified Professional Coach (CPC).
In both my personal and professional life, I am the person people come to when they need someone to deeply listen and help them problem solve. The intersection of my education, experience, and passion to help others, allows me to be your partner in creating a more inspired and aligned life for yourself.
What does it cost?
Cost is determined by what your needs are. I typically recommend 6, 45-60 minute 1:1 coaching sessions where we meet on a bi-weekly basis. However, that’s not for everyone - some people need more or less support, so my costs are dependent on individual. Consulting engagements will have agreed upon deliverables that will determine cost.
