What Is Coaching, Exactly?
It isn’t an exact science. Certified Professional Coaches became a thing in [date]. I believe the reasons for our increase in popularity comes from the need humans have for clarity, accountability, non-judgement, support, cheerleading, and just a place to be ourselves. As a coach, I am intimately involved in the change process.
Who is Coaching For?
EVERYONE! My belief is everyone needs a coach. Are you looking to be a better you? A coach can help.
Balance
Work/Life balance is hard enough when you’re sedentary. When you are actively pursuing beneficial change, finding that balance can be like walking the narrowest of tightropes.
Accountability
As you develop new, beneficial behaviors, it can be easy to revert back to old, familiar patterns. Coaches help you stay true to your new approach until it becomes second nature.
Connect With Your Why
A big part of coaching seems to be helping you develop new patterns in your life. However, the underlying and far more important benefit of coaching is helping you connect with why you are taking these steps toward self-improvement.
Challange & Support
When we try something new – especially in the area of self-improvement – we often feel alone and isolated. Coaches console and commiserate, ensuring that you’re not alone. But they don’t let you rest on your laurels when you achieve success. The keep you moving ever forward with challenges and questions.
Change Expert
While we make big changes in our lives once in a while, coaches live them on a daily basis with many clients. While your journey is unique, your coach provides guidance based upon years of experience helping others make similar changes.
About Me
“You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.”
– Johnny Cash
There are three things you need to know about me:
- Observing leadership and communication is a hobby and a passion. Sometimes enlightening. Sometimes aggravating. Always humorous.
- I LOVE Johnny Cash! I have been a fan of Johnny Cash since I was 2. I love his music and also admire his resilience, tenacity, and integrity. He admitted to failure, however never stopped trying. He woke up every day to make a choice.
- I bleed Black and Gold: Born and raised in Latrobe, PA, I moved to New Mexico in 1996. I grew up on a small farm in Southwestern PA and I know how it has impacted my life.
