I am trained as an Ontological Coach through the Newfield Network, one of the world’s leading transformational learning organizations. Ontological coaching methodology delves into what you truly care about most. With your personal growth and your core values at the base of it all, ontological coaching challenges your thinking and your paradigm, resulting in a powerfully relevant actionable plan that resonates with you, your organization and the planet.

I also have additional coach training with The Coaches Institute using the Co-Active Model. This approach treats the coachee as naturally creative, resourceful, whole and completely capable of finding his/her own answers to whatever challenges arise. My role using this model is to ask powerful questions, listen and empower to elicit the skills and creativity a client already possesses, rather than instruct or advise.

What is coaching?

Coaching is partnering in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires and enables clients to maximize their potential and produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, and organizations. While the specific reasons someone chooses to work with a coach are varied, generally there is a desire to address a challenge or opportunity, accelerate personal/ leadership development and results, improve relationships with others, and /or achieve greater well-being and satisfaction.

As your coach, my role is to help you explore what is working and what is getting in the way, to encourage you to be a different “observer” and to provide a different point of view to help you see perspectives or habits that you might be stuck in so that we can create new possibilities. I’ll do this by asking questions, making observations, sharing information, and listening. I will bring different distinctions and perspectives to e the possible strategies and actions available to you. Ultimately, the choices are fully yours. My role and responsibility as your coach is to:

· Help you discover and target what you want to achieve

· Help create a safe space for self-discovery

· Co-create strategies, actions, and practices aligned with what you want to achieve

· Hold you responsible and accountable for the agreed to process and outcomes
