Life and Executive Coaching

There are some key differences between coaching and counseling. The primary goal of coaching is to focus on the accomplishment of very specific self-improvement goals. Coaches have a present and future focus and don’t delve deeply into past issues or emotional problems. My background as both a mental health therapist and an executive in a large company provides me with the unique opportunity to coach people who want to maximize their potential both in and out of the workplace. I am also certified in Intrinsic Coaching which utilizes an approach that emphasizes your inherent capabilities and strengths, creativity, and self-determination.

As a coach I provide support, clarity, accountability, and motivation. Coaching can help you to:

  • Develop well-defined and strategic goals
  • Understand personal strengths and skills, areas for improvement, and potential obstacles to success
  • Develop a detailed action plan including outcome evaluation measures
  • Maintain momentum and optimize performance

Executive coaching includes a focus on:

  • Career-specific goals and direction
  • Leadership development
  • Increasing confidence, productivity, and work satisfaction
  • Improving your communication, conflict management, and leadership skills
  • Understanding how your personality influences how you work with others
  • Helping you to better prioritize your work and home demands
  • Learning how to better manage perfectionism tendencies
  • Developing better organizational strategies, strategic vision, and delivery of results
