Strategy at the Center of Your Coaching Experience
While great conversational communication skills are an artform, strategic communication, conversation, and decision-making skills are a science that I have a specialty for cultivating through coaching session.
Connection is Everything
A coach-client rapport is essential to collaborating in a meaningful way that yields the outcomes that the client desires. Whether coaching an individual, duo, or team - being clear about the goals and benchmarks for progress ensure dialogue advances in productive ways.
This is NOT therapy. While I MUST maintain confidentiality of your client sessions, this is a business partnership that creates space for being authentic, intentional, and ready to sweep the mental clutter out of the way to make a clear path for what you determine serves you best!
