Personal Coaching

I provide coaching to individuals on achieving a better life.  I use this general description because each person has different goals and different issues.  Therefore, each coaching engagement is highly customized to the client.

I have spent more than forty years leading, training, managing and coaching people in business and organizational settings.  As an entrepreneur over the last several years, I have often found myself coaching colleagues on not only business issues but also personal issues.  These requests usually result from my colleagues' observation of my own journey over this past decade to become more calm and conscious, more able to handle my stress, and able to be centered and happy no matter what my circumstances are.

Recently, my studies have been focused on life transformation, both for my personal journey as mentioned above, and to provide a more enlightened service to my coaching clients.  I have studied the work of several leading teachers, speakers, coaches and authors in personal development and spirituality to challenge and hone my own ideas and beliefs.  I do not portray myself as a wildly successful person; rather, I come to the engagement as a centered and confident individual who understands the challenges of our society and can empathize with my clients, while still being able to challenge and lead the client in whatever manner suits their individual needs and personality.  I truly believe that I am engaged in giving my highest gift, to help each person become more aware, more conscious, and more abundant.  To me, abundance is not just financial.  An abundant life means having plenty of whatever gives meaning to your life, and that is different for each person.

I won't promise to make you a millionaire.  I will promise to do my best to help you achieve significant progress towards whatever your goals are for your personal situation.  My advice will be based on the primary principle that your experience and circumstances are a direct result of your thoughts, beliefs and emotions, how you view yourself and others, and your subconscious programming, which we all have.

Only you can change your life.  I can help you find your limitations, and suggest strategies for overcoming them.  I can give you new practices designed to instill beliefs that will serve you better, and practical advice on how to conduct your life in a manner that is aligned with your dreams.  I can hold you accountable to actually implement the strategies and practices we agree on, but they will only work if you believe in them and actually do the work to change your self.

I am not any kind of medical or psychological professional, and will not attempt to assist you in those areas.  I will recommend that you seek appropriate professional help for such needs if that is indicated.  I am also not a marriage or relationship counselor.  I can help you get in touch with your general beliefs about relationships, but I will not undertake to advise you regarding your relationships with specific individuals.

In order to determine whether we will be a good fit as client and coach, I will ask you to answer several questions in writing, covering what you see as issues you need coaching on, what you have tried previously in order to address these issues, and anything you see currently as reasons for each issue or obstacles to resolution of each issue.  Based on your answers to this initial questionnaire, and your answers to any follow up questions that are appropriate, I will determine if I believe I can help you.  I may recommend that you seek a specific type of medical or counseling professional if I feel that would better serve your needs.  If I feel that I can help you, we then will engage in an initial session so that we can each decide if we are comfortable with each other in a coaching relationship.  This first session will be billable only if we both agree to continue beyond that initial session.

Prior to our initial session, we will agree to a method of engagement and a fee structure.  While coaching can be effectively done by phone, and recognizing that the telephone may be the only option based on your location, human communication is always more effective face to face, where non-verbal cues can be factored in for a much better understanding.  If your location allows, I will suggest a face to face meeting, at least initially, but in any event, I will seek to use whatever means of communication is warranted by your situation.  You will incur no cost or obligation unless and until I agree to coach you, and you agree to proceed beyond the initial consultation.

If you are interested in exploring a coaching engagement, please fill out the form below, and I will contact you as soon as possible to begin the process.  I appreciate your interest in my services, and I look forward to serving you in this capacity.
