INTRODUCTION TO COACHING 

To help you become more familiar and comfortable with my coaching
process:

• You set the agenda in the coaching partnership based upon our mutual understanding of your priorities. As your coach, I will hold you accountable.
• My responsibility is to support, motivate, challenge and guide you. Your responsibility is to take the action necessary to make the changes you want in your life.
• I will ask you thought provoking questions, provide you with focus and structure, support and encourage you through the difficult times. And, I will celebrate your successes with you.
• You will be asked to experiment with fresh approaches and strategies in order to make the changes you desire.
• If issues arise that are outside the boundaries of the coaching relationship and my expertise, I will direct you to an appropriate qualified professional.
• Confidentiality is paramount in the coaching relationship and I will not disclose any information about you to anyone.
• Feedback is gratefully accepted. If you feel there is something I am doing that is not helpful for you or that I am not doing that would help you, please inform me.
• My Christian faith is my compass for life and my morals and ethics are based on these values.  I also coach many people of different denominations and faiths and I respect all of my clients. I will never impose my beliefs on another person. 
• Coaching sessions will last approximately 1 hour.  The more direct and to the point we are in our conversation the more productive our sessions will be. 

"The goal of my coaching is to create a trusting and dynamic partnership to help you move toward a more satisfying and
full life. I will use innovative and practical strategies to help
you clarify what you want, explore options, enhance personal
accountability and take action so that you can lead your best life, fulfill your dreams and accomplish your goals."
