During the initial 1-3 sessions, I focus on helping clients learn more about themselves (strengths, values, vision) and their core. I’ll also define clients’ priorities and clarify where they want to be in life, what obstacles may be present, and how we can overcome them. The insights we surfaced in the phase will help clients align their goals with who they are and get intrinsically motivated.

During the ongoing sessions, through open-ended and reflective questions, I support my clients in finding their stuck point and expand their viewpoints so that they can look at the situation differently, make choices on moving towards their ideal outcome, or practice new “ways of being” that might shift the problem into a solution. I also focus on an objective and a perfect result in each session, so clients leave with a feeling of momentum.

My coaching style is built around awareness building, collaboration, developmental, down-to-earth, insightful, in the moment, practical/pragmatic, solutions-focused, strategic, transformational

I begin coaching relationships with my clients by helping them define their goals and what success looks like for them. I hold my clients accountability by checking in during and in-between our sessions. I also ask clients for feedback throughout the process on if they are on track. When things are not on track, I help clients recalibrate if necessary, surface new insights and come up with appropriate solutions.

I coach clients through four phases using design thinking and the lean startup methodologies - define, ideate, pilot, and launch. The first two phases are particularly helpful for clients that don’t have clear idea on what they want to do next: -Define (1-3 sessions): During these sessions, I focus on helping clients learn more about themselves (strengths, value, vision) and the core of who they are. I’ll also spend some time defining clients’ priorities and clarifying where they want to be, what obstacles may be present and how we can overcome them. The insights we surfaced in the phase will help clients align their goals with who they are and get intrinsically motivated. -Ideate (1-3 sessions): Next, I help clients determine how they can best use their strengths and resources to get to their ideal outcome. During the sessions, I ask powerful questions and reflect back to clients so that we can surface their stuck points, limiting beliefs and internal conflicts. Then direct clients to come up with their best course of actions, expand and explore options, and develop a strategy and action plans on how to move forward.
