Coaching

Humble . . . Kind . . . Generous . . .

My life coaching motto is “Humble . . . Kind . . . Generous . . .”, and it reflects my approach to life as well as the central ideas of the research-based Positive Psychology. While these may seem wholly optimistic, it does not mean I go easy on you! Part of coaching is motivating and driving people to rethink and revise behaviors, and it can be hard work.

My Approach – Rapid Results

Here are the steps of my executive coaching process. Using a research-based approach means it may provide you what you need more quickly than you think. Together, we will ensure your executive coaching plan is customized on the areas most important to you.
