Frequently Asked Questions

Coaches are partners. As your coach, I engage with you in a thought-provoking, creative, and inspiring process to maximize your personal and professional potential. Coaching is always forward focused, and uncovers answers from within yourself. We draw from your unique vision and strengths to help you gain clarity, eliminate obstacles, accelerate personal growth, and achieve results in the important areas of your life. As your coach, I hold you accoutable for the actions you commit to, but as the client, you're responsible for your results.

Consultants are experts. As your consultant, I leverage my experience and expertise in leadership, business development, strategy, marketing and communications, to help you with projects, challenges, or opportunities. I facilitate a process to address your needs, and provide reports, plans, or other deliverables outlined in the consulting agreement.

Mentors are advisors. As your mentor, I’ll provide advise and recommendations to help you succeed in a specific path for which I have experience and expertise. Coaching, in contrast, centers on your unique journey to success that may be different from my experience.

Counselors are licensed therapists and other mental health specialists. Counselors focus on helping you heal from experiences or trauma from the past. I am not a counselor and do not provide these services.

Coaches are always focused on your future. I am a certified coach with a focus on helping you move from where you are to where you want to go.

Think of it like a cut or injury. if the wound is still bleeding or has not healed, the best professional for you is a counselor. Once the cut is healed, you may have a scar, but you’re ready to move forward with coaching.

Some clients successfully engage in both coaching and counseling, focusing on different areas of life for each type of service.

If we are working together and encounter an issue for which you may need counseling, I will suggest it.

My services are customized to meet your specific needs. We will always start with a complementary introductory session to ensure we’re a great fit for each other. My approach to working with clients, whether it is coaching, consulting, or development, will always start with a specific area of focus and creating a clear vision of your success in that area. Then we’ll work together to create a roadmap that takes you from where you are to where you want to go.
