The following is an overview of how I view coaching and how I work.

A complimentary session will further inform your query about coaching (see Contact).

Thank you for your interest.

COACHING IS:

• a co-creative, client-driven relationship between you and the coach.

• an individualized schedule of weekly sessions to fit your needs.

• support, structure, and advocacy, strengthened through conversation and questions.

• creating a personalized ‘toolbox’ of sustaining concepts, guidelines, and resources.

• cultivating the ability to navigate through transition and change with mindfulness, creativity, and action.

• connecting to, and integrating your authentic insights, knowledge, solutions, and wisdom.

• transforming your goals, intentions, and purpose into inspired realities.

• embracing your best possible self in all areas of your life—where clarity, ease, and a spirited well-being become your new ‘normal.’

HOW I WORK

Through the co-creative coaching relationship, I provide deep listening, support, compassion, discerning questions and aligning structure. This safe and nourishing atmosphere empowers you to mindfully navigate personal and professional transitions, and alter the course of your life —transforming these changes into aligned and creative options, inspired and attainable actions, and enhanced well-being. These changes are life-long and sustainable—for the powerful reason that they emerge from the authority of the your own inner wisdom, experiences and innate knowing. Studies have shown that one-on-one coaching significantly increases the integration of new ideas and behaviors into a person’s every-day life by up to four times over non-coached individuals.

Transition is everywhere—impacting individuals and their families, relationships, the workplace, communities, and the world at large. Change is the touchstone of life, the threshold from which any desire to develop, enhance, and enrich ourselves and our situation must ultimately begin. One of the common threads that underlie all transition is the ability of each and every one of us to respond instead of react. This innate—though often seemingly inaccessible—ability to transform an overwhelming, unexpected, or touchy situation into a possibility gives rise to new perspectives during the coaching process.

Coaching is used successfully in a wide variety of personal and professional situations, including: 1) health and well-being issues, 2) career changes, 3) financial issues, 4) stress reduction and time management, 5) educational and business goals, 6) enhanced creativity, and 7) spiritual balance.

Coaching is also extremely useful in navigating the transitions of a life fully lived: 1) relationships, 2) grief/loss, 3) parenting, 4) divorce, 5) relocation, 6) aging, and other issues and events that can affect us all. Using a combination of the classic coaching model, and innovative language and brain-based models, the Common Thread Coaching process respects and utilizes your interests, strengths, and learning styles, and honors above all the amazing power of  your own insights.
