What is coaching?

 
Working with a coach provides an opportunity for you to work on a challenge that you are facing in your personal or work life. 
 
As a coach I do not provide you with answers -- I help you find answers.  Through a series of conversations and exercises I help you find new ways to look at and understand the challenges you are facing.  When you see things in a different light, it expands the possibilities you see for new directions.  It is essentially about finding a way to move forward from a position of feeling stuck.  In our conversations we take a broad perspective on the challenges you face, looking at the language used, both internally and with others, physical presence, and emotions. 
 
The desired outcomes vary from client to client, given individual goals and concerns.  Possible outcomes for you as a coachee include a better understanding of your impact on others and the results you are trying to attain; better relationships with others; more effective coordination of action; greater well-being and personal satisfaction, just to name a few.   
 
I offer coaching either in person in the Ottawa region, or by phone.  Given the power that coaching can have for a person, I am committed to making coaching accessible to a wide range of people.
