What is coaching?

Simply put, coaching is having conversations that lead to powerful change. A coach is someone who is passionate about helping people achieve their personal and professional goals.  The client is always in the driver's seat, my role is to help them get to their destination. My clients use our conversations as a springboard to create the change they want in their lives. 

Where are coaching sessions held?

Coaching sessions typically last one hour and are done in person or by Zoom meeting.  

What does the Career Blueprint program entail?

Career Blueprint is a comprehensive program that helps clients discover what they are meant to do & perhaps even more importantly - how to make that a reality. It is divided into 3 modules: Exploration, Research, and Action and takes approximately 5 months to complete.

• Exploration: This is all about inner work and personal reflection! Armed with a step-by-step guide, you’ll uncover your values, pen a detailed vision statement, take two separate assessments to help gain clarity on your natural talents, and reflect on exactly what makes you tick, what inspires you, and where you thrive. You’ll also discover the opposite - the tasks or roles that drain your energy.

• Research: this module focuses on internal & external research. By this point, you will have narrowed your potential dream career path down to a few options. I will walk you through exactly how to conduct informational interviews & research to learn more about each path and together we’ll evaluate your options using an objective model.

• Action: in this last module, it’s time for execution! You will know exactly what your calling is and feel empowered! We’ll get real tactical and map out your next steps - how to transition out of your current role, how to prepare for landing this dream role, and I’ll be there with you each step of the way - to cheer you on, provide expert guidance, and hold you accountable.

Are coaching sessions confidential?

Yes, absolutely.  All conversations between the client and coach are confidential.  The only exception to this is if the coach feels that the client is a threat to him/herself or others. 

How much does the Career Blueprint program cost?

The Career Blueprint program is an investment in your professional and personal growth. We first start with a complimentary, free 30 minute discovery call / meeting to determine if this is the right program for you.

What is the difference between a consultant / therapist / coach? 

Each of these professions add value and help people so it really depends on the client's needs and desired outcome. A therapist helps heal emotional wounds from trauma and/or cope with mental illness. A consultant is an expert in a specific area; they  provide advice & solutions to solve specific problems.  A coach collaborates with his/her clients to help them maximize their potential and create the future they want. 

What does a typical coaching session look like?

Whether in person or on Zoom, I ask clients to dedicate at least 60 minutes of uninterrupted time free of distractions so they can focus on themselves. Coaching is a gift to yourself. The more you put into it, the more you’ll get out of the sessions. Each session begins with defining a specific goal based on where you are on the Career Blueprint journey. We discuss how to advance forward and wrap up each session with homework (this isn’t like any homework you’ve done in the past - it’s fun & enlightening because you are discovering your calling!)
