and what it is not.
Imagine you have a map to the place you want to go, but while you were traveling, darkness fell. My role as your coach is to bring a flashlight, and together we pool our resources to get you to your goal.
Coaching is:
- Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal, scholastic, and professional potential.
- Setting goals, creating outcomes, managing personal change.
- Staying client-driven; your goals set the direction of the work, and together we explore paths to achieving those goals.
- An equal relationship – both coach and client bring their expertise to share, set boundaries, ask questions, and learn.
Coaching is not:
- Athletic coaching
- Therapy
- Mentorship
- Scholastic training
- Consulting
You’ll know you’re ready to hire a coach when:
- Everything is new: you’re experiencing major life transitions such as starting a new program, graduating, moving to a new city, or starting a new phase in your life.
- When you need a “corner guy”: you’re feeling down about your abilities or goals and need someone in your corner to unequivocally cheer you on.
- You’re feeling lost: you have a clear understanding of your academic, career, or personal goals but need guidance on how to achieve them.
- You feel stuck or overwhelmed: your current situation is frustrating and it’s time for fresh direction or perspective.
- When you find yourself procrastinating: you’re struggling with self-discipline or find it challenging to manage your time effectively, and need someone to hold you accountable for your actions and goals.
- When everything seems “off”: you’re struggling with balancing academic commitments, work, and personal life.
- Things could be better: you have a strong desire to improve yourself, whether it’s academically, personally, or professionally.
