About Coaching

The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.

Epictetus

Broadly speaking, coaching is a process that allows an individual or group of people to reflect and gain awareness of:

  • who they are
  • what is important to them
  • their strengths and challenges
  • the options open to them
  • what action to take

all in order to make the changes they want in their life.

  • Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.

    André Gide

While a counselor is focused on helping a person make sense of their past and overcome obstacles there, a coach is focused on helping a person overcome specific challenges in their present life situation. And unlike training and instruction where the emphasis is on the trainer imparting their knowledge to you, coaching focuses on helping the coachee to take responsibility for the process and outcomes. This is achieved by the coach providing a safe, creative and non-judgemental space, asking thought-provoking questions, and listening to help the coachee explore, reflect and make decisions.

Nature often holds up a mirror so we can see more clearly the ongoing processes of growth, renewal, and transformation in our lives.
— Lao Tzu

People engage in coaching for a variety of reasons. It can help you to make changes in your life, navigate difficult situations well, enhance your relationships with others, develop specific skills, and achieve specific goals.

 

So, among other things, people seeking help from a coach might be looking for:

​Specific skills

Emotional health

Freedom from addictions

Help navigating transitions

Better outcomes to a difficult situation

Lifestyle change​s

New habit formation

Help focusing life goals and vision

I empower women of all ages to effectively navigate difficult life experiences in ways that RE-form them from the inside out.

Though the practice of transformational coaching, RE|formation Coaching can help you in three very powerful ways:

1.  The first part of RE|formation is deciding which parts of your early formation are worth keeping and which no longer serve you. What beliefs, patterns of relating, emotional responses, inner dialogues, or ways of interacting with the world do you want to CONSCIOUSLY take with you as you grow and mature through challenging experiences? And which ones have got to go?  YOU get to decide what you carry forward. 

2.  Second, RE|formation Coaching can help you be intentional about ongoing formation by helping you curate the things you choose to include or exclude from your life—personally, professionally, relationally, and spiritually. You actually can have a say in what will shape you moving forward and seek out the RE|formation you desire for your future. Even in the midst of adversity, uncertainty, or pain.

3.  And finally, as you encounter the ups and downs of life, RE|formation Coaching can help you learn how to respond to the most difficult formational forces you face—loss, transition, illness, pain, identity crises, spiritual deconstruction, the lingering effects of trauma—in a way that aligns with, supports, and even furthers the ongoing formation YOU desire.

Let me help you achieve the type of transformation you desire.
