Integral Career Coaching

 

Many of us crave freedom, rest, and achievement — but struggle to consistently attain these states.

Burnout. Resentment. Stagnation. Many of these patterns show up in our work and bleed out into other parts of our lives (and visa-versa). What would it look like if we better understood the invisible systems at play, identified what's in our control to affect, and ultimately centered joy instead?

My job as your coach is to be fully committed to supporting you with deepening into yourself and living an authentic and thriving life.

I will bring my full range of skills, insights, training, and expertise to serve you to the best of my abilities. Coaching sessions will focus on unearthing and exploring the complexity of who you are and developing your practices, skills, and behaviors. You can expect me to:

  1. Be your ally, supporter, and sounding board.

  2. Provide a safe and caring environment that facilitates an effective and collaborative coaching process.

  3. Be direct, honest, thoughtful, and compassionate.

  4. Ask clarifying questions and make empowering requests that support your desired outcomes and to help you to find clarity where it is meaningful.

  5. Support you to evaluate the value coaching is providing you.

  6. Adhere and abide by the International Coach Federation’s professional Code of Ethics and Standards.

Your skills are yours, and they’re portable.

One of my sweet spots is sharing the art of advocating for yourself. From that perspective, I view coaching as not only an investment in yourself, but an investment in your family, community, organization, and everyone you come across. Our partnership would be designed as a thought-provoking and creative process that can inspire you to explore and realize new possibilities for life: facilitating the identification and creation of development outcomes and the carrying out of a plan for meeting those outcomes.

FAQs

This response meets a person exactly as they are at a particular moment in time. It is about what to do now and sees this instance as a particular manifestation of something larger. It is a way of coaching that feels doable for the client and provides long-term impact so that the client experiences richer, longer-lasting growth.
