Coaching
Exceptional Coaching for Extraordinary Results
My coaching is focused on making you more successful professionally and more satisfied personally. I take a very pragmatic approach based on your situation, your needs, and your goals.
When you partner with me, we’ll start with where you are now and focus on where you want to go. I can help you identify and clarify your values and goals, and then collaboratively discover pathways and resources to move you forward.
I leverage models of change that are based in rigorous academic and scientific research. These tools and perspectives can help you see more clearly, act more confidently, and build exponentially on your successes.
Most importantly, I listen deeply and create a trusting environment to support you in taking the risks necessary for long-term change.
What Results Does Coaching Produce?
Research has shown the coaching process to be highly effective in:

Decreasing in depression and stress
Increasing in resilience, hope, subjective and psychological well being, cognitive hardiness, and self efficacy (confidence)
Developing a humanistic and encouraging style, which has the secondary impact of increasing the engagement of others in the workplace (a coaching ripple effect)
