All Coaching is Life Coaching
Whether you want to focus on leadership, career change, relationships, or spiritual growth, all coaching is life coaching. What does that mean? Life is a journey of growth and transformation. Sometimes we get stuck or hung up in certain patterns or ways of seeing ourselves. Change comes when we're able to deal with those areas of blockage. And if we're honest, we see that those obstacles, those ingrained ways of thinking and being, show up everywhere: in our relationships, our careers, our thought lives.
That's why all coaching is life coaching. I will work with you in whichever context feels most relevant at the moment. Our goal will be to identify the "heat" -- your limiting thoughts and habitual behavioral patterns, your triggers and reactions -- wherever it shows up. One week you might feel the heat in your relationship with your partner. Another week you might feel the heat show up with your boss or your staff. Wherever the heat is, that's where we'll focus. And you'll find that as you relentlessly follow the heat, you'll begin to see change. Not just in one area of your life, but in all areas of your life. Success in one area begets success in all areas.
And when that happens, you free yourself to imagine a better way of being, you're inspired to live from a place of creativity, and you ignite the passion that accelerates you toward achieving your goals and dreams.
My particular areas of interest and experience are leadership, management, relationships, creative expression, career transition, workshop design and facilitation*, life transitions, and spiritual growth. But I will work with you wherever you are, across the full spectrum of your life experience, because all coaching is life coaching!

A Growth and Transformation Toolkit
Real and lasting change doesn't come about because we set the right goals or read the right books. Growth and transformation happen when we become aware of our default, reactive patterns -- when we wake up and see, in the moment, what we're doing. This does not come naturally. In fact, everything in us wants to ignore this truth. Much could be said about what it takes to become aware, awake, and present. In our work together, I will help you develop some important tools:
- Consciousness. The ability to stay present and awake despite everything in you that wants to numb out and go back to sleep.
- Awareness. The ability to quiet yourself and check in -- how does this make you feel? Where do you feel it? Do you like it or not?
- Honesty. The willingness to tell yourself the truth and to listen to it, to not shy away from the truth, no matter how hard it is to hear.
- Compassion. The ability to be gentle with yourself and with others as you stumble along the way. The ability to hold yourself with grace.
- Patience. The ability to persist and stick with it and to sit in uncomfortable and non-resolution as long as it takes. To resist the urge to force a false conclusion, to wrap things up nice and tidy too soon.
- Curiosity. An orientation of openness and curiosity about yourself and the world. The ability to pose questions of yourself rather than rush to answers.
- Embodiment. The ability to stay in your body and not automatically retreat into the story that your mind is telling you. The awareness to breathe and center yourself in your felt sense when your mind kicks in and you start to go down the road of incessant worry or fear or anxiety.
- Courage. The willingness to boldly face the unknown, to question the norms, to step out of the safety of what was and into the wilderness of what's not yet known.
- Confidence. The belief that you have what it takes to accomplish everything you want in life. Trusting in your innate wisdom, your intuition, and seeing time and time again how it never lets you down.
Next Steps
What can you expect? In our first coaching session I'll seek to understand who you are, what makes you tick, where you're "feeling the heat," and why you're seeking coaching. Together we'll identify an area of focus. In each subsequent coaching session we'll begin by checking in, and we'll end with at least one next step. My goal is to keep you moving forward, experiencing small (and sometimes large) successes between each session. Each next step will shift your perspective, your energy, and as the momentum builds, your outcomes.
