Jumping Into Freedom Coaching

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a unique and distinct profession. A Coach helps you to:

  • Solve Problems 
  • Reach Goals
  • Design a plan of action
  • Make decisions

In addition to these areas, a coach "stays with" a client to:

  • Implement the plan of action, working through the inevitable changes and any obstacles. 
  • Maintain a healthy balance between your personal and professional life. 
  • Keep looking ahead to take advantage of opportunities that are just now formulating. 
  • Bring out your personal best, keeping focused on your needs, values and vision.

Why does coaching work?

Coaching works because it brings out your best. A coach believes you can create your own best answers and is trained to support you in that process.

Specifically, this is what I do with you during our coaching sessions:

  • Listen. I listen fully. You are the focus. I listen to what you say, what you are trying to say and what you are not saying.
  • Share. After you have fully communicated, I share with you my advice, ideas, comments and views on your situation, dilemma or opportunity.
  • Suggest. I want a lot for you. I want you to be healthy, happy and successful. I want you to be on a strong financial track. I want you to enjoy your family and friends. I want you to have a life that inspires others--and yourself. Part of my job is to be at least three steps ahead of you, yet be with you. As such, I make requests and suggestions.

What is the investment?

You can find current coaching investments under the "Coaching Services" page.

How do you work?

I work mostly on the telephone: This is called telecoaching. You call me on my office line at a prescheduled time. Most clients call me once per week at the same time each week. Calls last 45-60 minutes. Clients may meet with me in person, but most find the telephone to be more efficient (and practical, since all my clients live outside my hometown).

What other services do you offer?

In addition to coaching and telecoaching, I offer the following services:

  • I deliver presentations: "Walking the Fearless Path" and "Fearless Intention: What are You Expecting?" both presentatons are FREE and can be delivered in-person or via teleconference.
  • Teleclasses
  • Fearless Book Groups

What credentials do you have in order to coach?

The primary credential of any coach is the assessible success of his or her clients. Additionally I have:

  • Obtained my coaching credentials from the Fearless Living Institute and the International Association of Coaching
  • Coached more than 750 hours.
  • Constantly attending coaching conferences virtually and in-person to be up-to-date on all coaching practices.

What else should I know about how you work?

There are several administrative guidelines that you should know:

  1. Fees are paid in advance to each session.
  2. Your time slot is your time slot. If you miss a session without canceling 24 hours prior, you will forefit that session and all money invested into that particular session. Also, if late for a session that time will not be made up. (Example: If you 20 minutes late calling me, you will only receive a 40 minute session. This is to hold you and myself accountable.)

 

What do you expect of your clients?

I ask that you grant our relationship enough room so that you can reach your goals quickly. What that means is that you be willing to tell me anything you are thinking and feelings and that you're willing to listen to what I have to say. You should also take the time you want to develop the trust you need between us.

About Confidentiality

A coach doesnt gossip. That means that what you are doing, how you are doing, what you have accomplished and your personal secrets and confidences are not discussed or hinted at by me to anyone else. From time to time, the person who referred you to me may ask how you are doing. My answer: He or she is doing just fine. Period.

My client list is confidential. People may know you are working with me, but that information won't come from me.

Speaking of Referrals...

My practice fills by referrals. If you are benefiting from our relationship, I expect you to suggest that appropriate colleagues and friends of yours speak with me.

I know many full-time coaches. I will be happy to speak with anyone you send me, and I will introduce them to the coach who I think is qualified and right for their needs, whether it is me or another coach.
