Coaching

…dancing in the moments of the journey.
The art of dancing in the moment hinges upon our ability and agility to learn, to have perspective, and to execute choice. It is amplified by the understanding of values, beliefs, and talents. It is nurtured by an integrated approach that includes intellect, emotion, and spirit. Our emotions signal alignment and facilitate choice.Feeling pleased, grounded, and inspired are positive indicators. Feeling agitated, confused, and stuck are negative indicators. Life is an ongoing journey, and change is our dedicated partner. How do you dance with change?

What is coaching?
My coaching targets you, not your “stories.” Stories are point-in-time perspectives of life events; they do not define who you are. In other words, we focus on you, not your situation. My sessions expand perspectives, integrate new concepts, and build skills that you can immediately leverage, adapt, and obtain results from. The sessions dynamically build upon each other creating synergy and a safe place to release limitations. What is learned becomes integrated and part of your everyday experience. It is truly transformational. Believe it or not, the hardest part is letting go of the old stories that no longer serve a purpose. Are you willing to say goodbye to your stories?

For more information about what coaching is and is not, I recommend the following article from the International Coach Federation (ICF). It is important to understand the differences between coaching, therapy and consulting. Our initial conversations address any outstanding questions you may have.

Who hires a coach?
Anyone can hire a coach, but is coaching right for you? Everyone has the potential to achieve extraordinary results with the help of a professional coach who has the skill to activate and inspire the natural drive that resides within each of us. Olympic athletes have understood this for decades. Professional coaches maximize technique, expose self-imposed limitations, and drive exceptional results. Are you ready to be coached?

Who works with John?
I work with individuals, corporations, couples, teams, and groups. My clients are ready to say goodbye to their old stories. They have a spark, a drive, a thirst to take on the world one day at a time. They desire a compassionate, holistic approach that supports all aspects of who they are -- intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. And although it’s common to feel some nervousness about coaching at first, our initial conversations address any apprehensions you may have. My clients are ready to step into saying yes to change, take ownership, and steward their own destiny.

Themes:

• Blocked or stuck
• Desire to connect to something bigger, but unclear how to map it out
• Overwhelmed, tired, drained, and lost
• Disconnected from oneself, and want help to reconnect and define life goals and aspirations
• Things are humming along nicely, but want to kick it up a notch and go for it!
• Want to be challenged and supported to take big leaps

Where does coaching take place?
We can conduct our coaching sessions in person or on the phone. The typical client meets with me by telephone (or Skype) so that we can connect anytime and anywhere. The advantages are:

• Time.  Blocking off an hour for a phone call is easier than blocking off an hour for an appointment that requires travel.
• Confidentiality.  Talking with me from the privacy of your home or office ensures that you are in a place that promotes the honesty and openness required to ensure success.
• Location.  Coaching need not stop because you travel or move. We can connect anytime and anywhere.
