How I Work
- Trust and respect: Front and center, coaching is all about our relationship, which is based on our mutual regard and reciprocity.
- Client-centered: I allow the person being coached to be an individual, and to tell me what he or she likes in terms of supports and challenges, as I design my approach to their needs and individual style.
- Attuned: I am by nature caring, empathic and a great listener. I am interested in who you are as well as your goals and objectives. While I don’t want my clients to be dependent on me, I do seek to warmly support them.
- Results focused: I am also very action oriented if this is indicated and desired. I enjoy challenging my clients, and allowing them to surprise themselves by stretching more than they believed they could.
- Inspirational: I’m on your side and in your corner. I let you know how hard you’re trying and how good you’re doing with your change process, even in moments where you doubt yourself.
- Honest: I will reflect you to yourself. I will neither whitewash the truth, nor will I harm you with it. Rather, I will strive to communicate situations in a way that will allow for choosing avenues of optimal responsiveness based on your own truth-telling.
- Challenging: Stretching people in their thinking and asking hard questions in a very gentle way is one of the skills that makes coaching effective.
- Strategic: I love brainstorming and creating plans, strategies and devising systems. Creative and integral problem solving is fundamental to the process.
