One to One Coaching - Business & Personal Life Coaching Designed for You
All of my 2009 one-to-one coaching will work from the foundation that we all need to feel a great sense of pride in how we think. The quest is to THINK STRONG.

In 2009 I will offer 6 week packages, 6 month packages and 12 month packages.

My coaching is customized to every person I work with. But there are specific concepts that will be a part of all the coaching I do in 2009. My role as the coach is to help bring clarity to the concepts below - to show the process of what it is to activate the concepts. 

Taking responsibility for how we think matters.

THINK STRONG: Each and every client will decide what these two powerful words mean to them. You will choose what it is that you will be reminded to do with your thoughts, your attitude and your energy when you see the words "think strong", when you hear them, when you say them. Your THINK STRONG is yours.

Ownership of your story, of your journey. Life isn't a dress rehearsal. The texture and meaningfulness of our lives is created by each one of us; there isn't a circumstance or another person that can take away our love of life.

The following excerpt from the Transition Champions Playbook, which is part of the Coach It Forward THINK STRONG series, captures the focus of my coaching:

In transition we need clarity. With clarity we create energy. With energy we move to the next launch pad and then the next and the next and on we go. To embrace any challenge in life we need clarity of who we are, what we can contribute and why we believe in ourselves.

Who we are is about thinking more clearly about what we stand for, what we believe in and what it is that we want to be admired for.

What we can contribute is about thinking more clearly of how we can add something to our life and to the lives of those that are counting on us. When we focus on wanting to contribute something to our world, to our journey, we create momentum, we become more truly significant and we make an influential impact on our circumstances.

Why we believe in ourselves is the choice that we make to use pride to our advantage. It is good to feel proud of specific skill sets, what you've accomplished and of how you've responded to challenges. You create power when you know why you believe in yourself and can clearly state why. Mainly the power comes from the support that you're actually giving you. We all need support. We forget that we get the best support from ourselves.

It is not time to stand around and wait for someone else to figure this out. You know that. No matter what sort of transition you are experiencing, no matter what sort of reinvention you want to create, the path for you to follow is one of clarity. Clarity creates energy for you and energy for those around you.

A good coach DOESN'T act as:

a therapist - doesn't diagnose and treat dysfunctional personalities;

a consultant - doesn't deliver a prefab solution to organizational problems;

a trainer - not tasked to transfer a prescribed skill set programmatically from a textbook format.

Rather, a good coach is an advocate in the court of life/business, the objective voice of reason defending your best self and highest good. Coaching is the fine art and technology of elevated inquiry and facilitative listening. It is focused on WHO the client actually is and how that is authenticated in his/her daily life. It is characterized as a process of discovery, actualized through goal setting and strategic action steps and realized in extraordinary results. The value of this personalized, process approach for today's work-force applicants and issues is highly quantifiable. 

A good coach will only agree to work with clients who can afford the price and who are willing and able to take the actions agreed at each session. Coaching is meant to enhance your lifestyle, not cramp it. A good coach knows that coaching isn't for everyone and reserves practice hours for people who are ready to optimize on the coaching experience.
