Coaching
Here’s how coaching with me works and what the process looks like.
​
Coaching is focused, intentional work designed to help you move toward the goals you care about in your career and life. The sections below outline my approach, the framework I use, and how people typically engage in the work.
​
I’ve also addressed common questions on a separate FAQ page. If you’re interested in coaching and want to talk through your situation, you can schedule a consultation call. For brief questions, reach out through my contact page.
What Coaching Is (and Is Not)
Coaching is best understood as a working partnership focused on helping someone reach goals they haven’t been able to reach on their own.
​
It’s similar to working with a personal trainer. A trainer doesn’t do the work for you or offer shortcuts. They provide structure, challenge, support, and accountability, helping you build the strength and consistency needed to get results. Coaching works the same way. It’s not about quick fixes or outsourcing responsibility, and it’s not about being told exactly what to do.
​
The work is centered on helping you move forward toward the career or life you want. Along the way, that often involves identifying what’s been getting in the way, examining assumptions or patterns that no longer serve you, and making decisions you can actually follow through on.
​
My role is to bring perspective, ask better questions, challenge thinking when needed, and help you stay accountable to what you say you want. Your role is to engage honestly in the process and take ownership of the work required to reach your goals.
What Brings People to Coaching
People come to coaching from different places in their careers and lives.
​
Outwardly, many appear successful. Internally, something feels off. For some, that shows up as burnout. For others, it looks like boredom, restlessness, frustration, or a sense of disconnection. Some can articulate exactly what isn’t working. Others only know that what they’re doing no longer fits.
​
While how unfulfillment shows up varies from person to person, the underlying work is the same. It involves understanding what’s actually going on beneath the surface, clarifying what matters now, and deciding how to move forward in a way that’s aligned with the career and life you want.
​
My coaching framework creates the conditions to do that work thoughtfully, without forcing a predefined path.
Working Together
Coaching with me is one-on-one and tailored to you.
​
While the work itself follows a consistent framework, the length and scope of coaching can vary. Some people come in with a clear understanding of what’s in the way and benefit from a focused, intensive session to sort through decisions and next steps. Others benefit from ongoing work that allows more time to explore patterns, clarify direction, and build momentum.
​
The goal is not to fit you into a predefined package, but to recommend an approach that sets you up for success and moves you toward what you’re working toward.
The First Step:
A Consultation Call
Every coaching engagement begins with a consultation call.
This is an opportunity for you to share where you are, what feels off, and what you’d like to change. I’ll ask questions, listen closely, and reflect back what I’m hearing so we can get a clearer picture of what’s actually going on.
​
The call also helps determine whether coaching is the right next step and whether working together makes sense. If it is, I’ll outline how I would approach the work and what kind of support would best serve you. If it isn’t, we’ll be clear about that too.
​
Not every consultation leads to coaching, and that’s intentional. The goal of the call is clarity and alignment, not pressure.
Let’s Start With a Conversation

This is a focused conversation designed to explore fit, direction, and whether coaching makes sense right now.
