We call it coaching, but …

Chances are, you’ve at least heard of life coaching, and you may already have an idea of what it means.

Can I be honest? I don’t love the name.

‘Coach’ brings up a lot of ideas and images that just don’t fit. A life coach is really a human resource, or a resourced human, who’s trained and practiced in helping you get to where you want to go. We can be several things: guide, confidante, mirror, honest friend, objective party, empathic listener, space creator, witness to your life.

I don’t have answers and I don’t know what you should do next, no matter how much you might want me to.

However, I absolutely believe that you do, and I’ll help you get there.

At its best, working with a coach is a process that is unique to you, tailor-made to supporting the life you want. It’s both harder to define and harder to do than telling you how you should live. But it’s so, so much better.

  • This is about your needs, goals, and wishes for your life. If you wish you just had someone to think through a sticky problem or really big project with, or maybe you’ve been swirling around the drain for a while and need some direction, this service is probably for you.

  • The decisions you make affect other people in a big way, and their expectations are often so high. If you’re in charge of people — whether it’s 2, 20, or 200 — and you often wish there was someone you could lean on, this service is for you.
