What is Coaching?
Most of us are familiar with the concept of a sports coach. Or a voice coach.
Why not have a life coach? Or a business development coach? Personal success coaching is not new. For over 20 years, thousands of individuals have sought out a
safe haven from which they can dream, explore and practice new ideas. In some Fortune 500 companies, it is
expected for all managers to have their own personal coach.
A sports coach works with a team of basketball players to perfect their hoop shooting and to enhance their court activities. A voice coach helps train a singer (or speaker) to perfect their pitch, their volume and their melodic presentation.
A life coach helps individuals to define what’s important to them; and together, they work out a strategy to achieve those results consistently.
Working with business executives and entrepreneurs, a coach helps them focus on the areas that are most important to them and their businesses. Maybe it’s trying to find a new marketing strategy. Perhaps it’s getting better at hiring the right kind of sales people and keeping them motivated. Maybe it’s trying to find balance between work and home. And, often, it’s coaching them through all of these areas.
Personal coaching is all about defining what is important to YOU and then helping you find ways to act on the necessary changes in your life so that your dreams and goals become a reality.

How Does Coaching Work?
You will appreciate my flexible approach. Together, we will design a personal success program that targets your focus areas. A typical program will work something like this:
|
- We will schedule an initial
60-minute session to design a coaching strategy. This is a
no-obligation, free hour to give you an opportunity to
experience a coaching session and to understand the program
that I offer. This session includes:
|
|
|
- Exploring all areas of your life and determining successes as well as areas that could use improvement
- Identifying those “stars” that excite you and motivate you to succeed
|
- We will reach agreement to work together in a confidential manner to help you reach the “stars.”
- Coaching sessions are generally 3 weeks apart and last from 1-1/2 hours to 2 hours over an 8-9 month period. When in-person coaching is not feasible due to geographical distances, tele-coaching is an option.
- Sometimes, the sessions are focused on planning for a specific goal; other times, your time might be invested in exploring areas with a broader sweep.

Who Needs Coaching?
Does your management team need a jump-start with a new paradigm that is being introduced?
I have focused on computer technology over the past 20 years, and I fully understand the fear of change and its impact on people in general. My numerous personal-growth and team-building tools have been refined through my management and training experience across diverse groups. Whether I’m working with executives in professional fields, or sales teams and customer support initiatives, my customized programs can help your team make the transition.
Thinking of starting your own business? Or maybe you’ve already made the leap and now you feel overwhelmed.
As a seasoned entrepreneur, I have experience assisting owners and managers in businesses of all sizes. I have owned and operated several successful businesses including a retail computer store and a consulting and training company. I am well versed in using productivity tools that help make a business run more efficiently. Whether focusing on sales and marketing, hiring and training, or customer support, CEO’s and managers appreciate my breadth of experience and the humor I bring to the coaching relationship.
Do you feel “stuck” in your current job? Or are you contemplating a career transition?
Merger-mania is all around us. How comfortable are you with your survival skills in the job marketplace today? I will help you clarify your goals and help you develop a strategy to getting there.
Statistics point out that most of us will change careers 3 to 5 times before we reach that final retirement. New opportunities can be exciting – and challenging.
In times past, your employer determined your career path. Today, it’s something you strategically design for yourself. I can guide you toward a planned career path and even help you find hidden talents – to support the dream job you’ve always wanted!
Contact me for more information on how the two of us can customize a plan just for you.

Are You Ready for a Coach?
Do you have the courage to act on your hopes and visions?
Everyone can benefit from coaching activities. However, not everyone is ready to be coached.
Are you: |
- Open to new ideas?
- Willing to learn new behaviors that will lead you away from self-limiting beliefs?
- Prepared to invest time, energy and money into your personal growth and success?
|
If you can answer YES to these questions, then contact me to schedule a
free, 30-minute introductory session. During this session, we’ll explore the areas you want to focus on and determine if I’m the right coach for you.
If you aren’t ready now, that’s OK. Your coaching will be most effective when you are ready to act and
when you can devote the energy required to move forward. Feel free to
browse my resources page for reading material. I also invite you to sign up for my free, monthly e-newsletter. It offers strategies you can use every day. When you feel ready to reach the next level of satisfaction in your life, contact me again and we’ll schedule a time to explore the program.
