Services for Individuals

The process of coaching allows you to enter into a relationship that focuses on the skills and actions needed to successfully accomplish your personally-relevant results. The primary focus is on creating actionable strategies and necessary outcomes for achieving specific goals in your work or personal life. Coaching works by identifying opportunities for development, based on your strengths and capabilities.

People who embark upon a coaching relationship, experience enhanced decision making skills, fresh perspectives on how to solve personal challenges, superior effectiveness and productivity, and increased confidence and satisfaction in pursuing their chosen work and life goals.

Many individuals also experience profound life transforming experiences that can be difficult to categorize. However, these intangible outcomes usually result from the development of tangible skills and competencies. Some of the more common skills developed include:

  • Strategies to actualize goals and intentions
  • Space for work/life balance
  • Greater productivity
  • Enhanced problem solving and decision-making skills
  • Increased confidence in your personal and professional life
  • Greater personal fulfillment and satisfaction
  • The capacity to move away from compulsive or habitual patterns to decisive action
  • Fresh perspectives on your personal and professional challenges
  • The ability to identify and reframe attitudes and habits that keep you stuck and do not further your goals
  • Skills and competencies to actuate change and assist in smooth transitions
  • Physical and somatic strategies for addressing stress and/or pain
  • The ability to move beyond ineffective behaviors, communication strategies, and thought processes

We all have goals that sometimes seem elusive, whether they are professional or personal. At times, setting out to accomplish them can be daunting and overwhelming. This is when it makes sense to seek assistance. Coaching provides an opportunity to form a partnership dedicated to achieving your objectives. You receive positive, pragmatic insight, new perspectives, clear direction and accountability so you can understand where you have been in your life and how to get to where you want to be. Together we form a partnership in which we identify the changes you want to make and then guide and support you toward your target.

We are dedicated to helping individuals and groups effectively accomplish their personal and professional success. We encourage, guide, and support you in exploring creative options to realize your goals and maximize potential. Through the development of action-oriented, results-based competencies and skills, coaching can help you attain your goals and increase satisfaction and fulfillment in both personal and professional life.

A typical coaching relationship lasts approximately 6 months. After conducting a detailed intake, a plan is specifically designed for you based upon the purpose and intended outcomes we have identified together. You will be assigned self-observations, exercises, practices, books, or activities that are designed to help you gain insight into your behaviors, thoughts and actions and practice new methods of approaching situations or problems. By actually practicing new behaviors, you embody the desired changes rather than simply gaining an intellectual awareness of them. In addition, we generally meet 4 times per month alternating between hour-long face to face sessions and short phone check-ins to track and discuss your progress and continue to gain insights about your habits, behaviors, feelings and thoughts. If you do not live in the San Francisco Bay Area, it is still highly effective to conduct the entire relationship over the phone.
