Coaching gives you a supportive safe space to explore what’s going on for you and learn new skills that enable you to design the life you want to live – and live it.

My approach to coaching is informed through my own experiences delivered with kindness and honesty. I will not be a drill-master, however I will provide the accountability you may need.

Coaching is a powerful method to help you improve, grow and develop, and learn new skills and tools to manage your life more effectively.

The fundamentals of coaching are what distinguishes it from therapy. Coaches do not diagnose the people they work with, but rather provide you with tools to help you move forward. Coaching is a journey of reflection, discovery and self-awareness combined with action and self-motivation.

Here’s a great way to distinguish the two, by Tony Robbins. “Naturally, the decision to seek out a therapist or a coach is a very personal one. It might help to imagine yourself getting ready to climb a mountain. You could either hire an expert sherpa and guide for your expedition or a doctor. Which should you choose? Which one will be most helpful during your specific journey?

If you are physically unwell, or would be in danger if you even attempted the climb, a sherpa and guide wouldn’t do you any good. You need to be at a baseline level of good health before you can make the climb at all, so if you’re not, you might need to see the doctor before trying something that challenging. However, if you’re healthy and just need someone to help you with climbing strategy, carrying the load of supplies and finding the best path, the sherpa and guide is the best bet.

In this example, the therapist is the doctor. He or she gets you well enough to take on major challenges in your life by exploring your mental and emotional well-being. The coach is the sherpa and guide. He or she has an expert knowledge of your climb and can help you reach the summit.”

Coaching isn’t simply a watered-down version of therapy. It is a dynamic discipline designed to help motivate and inspire people to achieve more than they believe is possible.

Whatever you are comfortable sharing. I will encourage you to face the hard stuff but I won’t press you on anything that you’re not ready to confront. 

Yes. As well as it being the absolute right thing to do, I’ve walked in your shoes and understand the pain and fear that exists. To assure you and for legal reasons, my non-disclosure agreement protects you from what we talk about. I cannot and will not share what you tell me. Of course, you’re willing to share anything with anyone you’d like.

This is a life changing experience, and at times it can be intense and emotions may rise. You need to be willing to face your challenges and do the emotional work needed to build a loving relationship with yourself and create a life you love. You may cry, or yell, and that’s ok.

• To respect and hold your vision – even when the going gets tough and you lose sight of it, I never will.
• To challenge you when needed – old beliefs, habits and behaviours are often deep-seated.  We’ll uncover the underlying reasons you’re stuck and set up more useful and helpful habits together.
• To support you – I’m on your team and my passion is to see you succeed. I’ll champion you and support you every step of the way.
• To be honest – even if it’s difficult or uncomfortable, I will always be straight with you.
• To curate and tailor the information – you’re an individual with individual needs and the last thing you need is more information, you need the right information and the right actions for you.
• To make it fun – it can feel so heavy for so long and I’m here to make the process fun, light and as easy as I can.

• A commitment to change – just turning up to the sessions is not enough. You have to commit to yourself to do the work and take responsibility for the outcome of the coaching.
• A commitment to the session – show up on time, take the opportunities when we’re together seriously and be present in each session.
• A commitment to the homework – take responsibility for the mutually agreed upon actions each session. Often the greatest understanding, realizations and clarity come in between sessions.
• To be honest – even if it’s difficult or uncomfortable because it’s in this space that the greatest changes happen.
• To challenge yourself – you can play it safe sure, but if you really want to grow then up your game. You’ll be amazed at how small changes make a BIG difference.
• To have fun – this is your life, your health, your dreams, your journey. Enjoy it, embrace it and have fun with it. Not everything will be serious, nor should it. Plus I like laughing, it’s good for you!

I have experienced firsthand the struggle, pain and fear of holding onto secrets that destroy you from the inside out. Equally, I have encountered personal forgiveness and restoration, and have overcome major obstacles, all of this resulting in a new life full of joy and real love.

My personal and professional experience combined has provided more growth opportunities that I can count. Here are a few:

Consulted within the financial industry c-suite.
Managed go-to-market strategies for fortune 500 companies.
Learned the study of human behavior and the enneagram.
Directed a non-profit community organization.
Created training programs that launched new initiatives.
Successfully led teams of two to hundreds in work, church and community settings.
Faced male-domination in a global corporate environment.
Always held close to my heart a calling to inspire women.

Above all of these, I have committed my life to the Lord Jesus of the Scriptures, I Am. He has given me the strength and ability to share my stories with you. He is responsible for my transformation.

Yes. We can discuss any requirements and come to a mutually agreed solution.
