What is the process of using a coach?

The answer to this question is very individual. If your request for a coach is self-initiated, you might find the experience much like chatting with a trusted mentor or athletic coach--someone who will give you straight advice but makes you comfortable at the same time.

On the other hand, if you have been instructed to get outside help on an issue or problem, you may feel threatened talking so openly with a stranger who may be miles away. This is certainly understandable and we make every effort to deal with this in the diagnostic session.

It is not a sign of weakness to use a coach--quite the contrary (many sports professionals use a personal coach). More and more, coaches are  used to help:

• give a career new energy, direction

• develop new options to solve specific problems

• come to terms with misalignment/conflicts of values and actions

• modify a management style or interpersonal conflict

• learn new behaviors to achieve different results

• all of the above

The important thing is this: you decide to take this important step because you feel it is right for you. We will help you ask the right questions to increase your comfort level with the process, keeping in mind that learning--especially learning about ourselves--is sometimes challenging but always worthwhile.
