WHAT IS COACHING?
Important information to make the most out of your coaching experience
To me, coaching is a deeply personal and transformative experience built on a strong partnership. It’s not about being told what to do, it's about being supported in uncovering what’s already within you.
Coaching offers a space to pause, reflect, and grow. It’s a space where you’re truly heard, challenged, and empowered to unlock the clarity and direction you may not even realize you already hold. As your coach, I will guide without judgment and ask purposeful questions to help you reconnect with your values, clarify your goals, and take meaningful action. I am here to hold you accountable and help you move beyond what’s holding you back, to step into the version of yourself that is ready to grow.
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as follows:
"It's a process that stirs up creativity, fuels personal growth, and maximizes both professional and personal potential. Through powerful questioning and insightful dialogue, coaches support you in discovering your own solutions, whether for life decisions, career shifts, or business challenges."

WHAT IS COACHING NOT?
Coaching is not therapy or mentoring. This means that the answers won’t come from your coach - they’ll come from within you. The focus is forward, based on your goals and aspirations. That’s exactly what makes coaching so powerful; taking the time to discover your own answers and follow your own path, one that’s aligned with your true desires, not someone else’s. If you’re looking for someone to give you advice or tell you what to do, coaching might not be the right fit. Coaching is about empowering you to make your own decisions with greater clarity and confidence, not a checklist to follow based on someone else's interpretation of your needs.
HOW TO PREPARE?
More than anything, I want you to feel ready, present and called to do this. The rest we can figure out together.
To ensure we can jump right in, you’ll receive a form via email before your first session to help prepare and clarify your desired outcomes and goals for the coaching journey. You are also highly encouraged to come mentally and emotionally ready to open up and fully engage in the process. Respecting your own time by being focused and undisturbed will help you gain the greatest possible value from each session.
