You hire a coach to get results you would not accomplish on your own. You may need focus, clarity, an objective sounding board for new ideas, support, a plan that delineates action steps, confidence, feedback, or sometimes being held to your word. I enable this transformation, behavioral change, attitude adjustment, performance enhancement or self-awareness. Our work may involve recognizing, eliminating or moving through barriers or self-limiting beliefs; gaining a greater consciousness of your impact, communication style, behavioral style, & how behaviors and attitudes affect others; or clarifying expectations & assumptions and defining roles & responsibilities.
It can be frustrating & scary to deal with change that travels at break neck speed. If you experience fear, frustration or embarrassment, you may not be comfortable playing well with others. You may become afraid to make decisions & deny or refuse accountability. You could wish to withdraw or feel you must show your power. My job as a coach is to cause you to stretch beyond what you think are your capabilities, to try new things, & to become motivated to achieve what your organization needs of you. We do this through listening, pointed questioning, brainstorming possible approaches, offering and hearing objective opinions, & advising in private. You get to learn, practice and apply what you're learning and what you choose to take on. There is always choice.
I have over 25 years experience as a coach. My clients have described me as a perceptive and insightful coach who produces exceptional results. I am certified in a number of assessments, and have taught career counseling and development at Drexel University. I have a background in psychology, career and leadership development, and human behavior at work.
Some of my coaching topics are correcting performance, behavior & attitude, changing career direction, better leveraging of time, resources & energy, improving relationships, & balance.
