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.
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.
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.
I am mixing coaching and mentoring during my sessions. My background in running different businesses and working in Human Resources helps me understand what people are experiencing in their careers.
