Question 1

What is coaching?

Accepted Answer

Coaching is a guided conversation with a trained professional to use deep listening skills and other techniques to help you discover new insights, recognize barriers and create strategies that move you forward in ways you desire.

Coaching is different than therapy, although the conversation may feel the same. Coaches do not give advice nor do they diagnose disorders or recommend medication.

Question 2

How is your coaching different than other approaches?

Accepted Answer

Unlike traditional life coaching which focuses the present and future, my technique helps you to discover and heal what's driving negative thought and behavior patterns, creating a more positive self-view and trusting relationship with others. This is not just a new perspective, it's lasting change.

Question 3

Who is your typical client?

Accepted Answer

Individuals who recognize their own power of autonomy, and believe that change starts within them. Many clients have tried therapy and other modalities. I often hear from new clients statements like, "I know where my problems come from, I just don't know what to do about them." From there, we work together to heal and grow.

Question 4

What is the difference between Transformational Life Coaching and Clarity Coaching?

Accepted Answer

Transformation Coaching creates lasting change by shifting you from undesired thoughts and feelings, to feeling calm, clear-headed and in control of your own mind. You will then develop strategies to make changes in your relationships, work, location, or wherever you desire.

Clarity Coaching is a single session to help with a decision. It untangles competing thoughts and feelings so you can make the choice with confidence. It uses a common technique that is part of the Transformation Coaching process, so it is a good way to see if this style of coaching is right for you.

Question 5

How long until I see results?

Accepted Answer

Transformation Coaching: results are unique to each individual. Some clients experience a shift after one or a couple of sessions, others can take months or longer.
Clarity Coaching: a single session often provides enough clarity to make a decision.

Question 6

What does PCC stand for, and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Professional Certified Coach (PCC) is a designation by the International Coaching Federation (global standard-bearer in the coaching industry) that is awarded to professional coaches who have met the following requirements:

• Received 125+ training hours (CCEs)
 • Provided 500+ hours of professional coaching over min 3-year period
 • Received 10 hours of coach mentoring
 • Received approval for two recorded client sessions

Unlike other industries that require licensure to practice, the coaching industry is unregulated. Hiring a credentialed coach provides assurance that you are selecting someone who is trained, experienced, and recognized by the governing body as a skilled professional.
