I need help putting myself back on the priority list, but I’m not an operations leader. Can you still help me?
Very likely! My tools and techniques are broadly applicable and have been found to work, no matter your profession. I’d recommend booking a call so I can learn more about you and give you a personalized answer.
I really don’t like meditation. Is this program going to require me to meditate?
Not in the traditional sense, no. There will be no extended periods of time when you have to find a quiet spot to practice meditation. You will, however, learn how to harness the power of meditation in short bursts. Once you learn how, these bursts will not require you to pause your life to access the calm of meditation. They can even happen while you are walking, driving, or having a conversation.
Your website refers to “changes” I might want to make. What changes do you work with clients on?
My coaching is tailored to your needs, and we can work on whatever feels like a priority in your life. Many clients come to me to seek support for weight loss, stress reduction, and career dissatisfaction, but all kinds of things bring people to coaching.
I recently read an article that said coaching is a scam. Is that true?
It can be. At this time, coaching is an unregulated field. This means that someone who took a weekend course, and someone who got a degree can both legally call themselves coaches. But as you can imagine, the quality you get when working with someone with 5 hours of instruction under their belt will likely be very different from working with someone with 200+ hours of training.
If you are concerned, a good place to start is to look for a coach who has received certification from the NBHWC or the ICF, both are internationally recognized credentialing organizations. Both organizations require graduation from a legitimate coaching program, supervision, numerous practice hours, and all coaches must pass a comprehensive exam. Coaches with these certifications have proven their ability to provide high-quality coaching and must keep up their skills to maintain their certification.
Please note, no matter how good the coach, a client will only get out of coaching what they put in. Coaching can be powerful and even transformative, but it still requires hard work on the part of the client.
