FAQ
Describe your coaching style.

Integrate the power of trust and accountability. Be curious and listen to my clients, allow them to be creative, and find answers when they feel that they are stuck.

How do you measure success with a client?

For personal and professional growth, three things need to occur: 1) Self-awareness allows individuals to identify what they need to learn or change. They cannot change something until they know what needs to be done, 2) Decide if they need to change, and 3) Create a plan that includes stopping, or starting to do something, or continuing and amplifying something they are doing right, and bring accountability for the change to occur. Success can be measured in each of these 3 steps.

How do you support clients that don’t have a clear idea of what they want to do?

I help my clients by first identifying what they don’t want to do, based on previous experiences in their professional careers. Come up with a list of what they are unwilling to do either because of previous negative experiences or do not align with their personal goals or priorities. This is the start of our conversation and can help them challenge themselves, look at tradeoffs and seek different alternatives.

What are the methodologies and tools you incorporate into working with your leadership clients? Include any assessments you are certified to use.

I use Hogan, Birkman, and PDA assessments.
