I also have life and career experience in many areas, including the arts, business, writing and publishing, teaching and speaking, technology, spirituality and personal development. Vision I’m great at helping you create a vision for your future, based on who you want to be and what you want to accomplish, not on your past or your history. I have a knack for seeing the best in people and what's possible for them. Support and resources I’ve been on a personal growth path since 1983.  I understand the process and have many resources to offer. I have great faith in my clients and will support and encourage you in taking positive steps that may be scary or challenging for you. Compassion, understanding and acceptance As your coach, I am your advocate. I care about and accept you for who you really are, and I support you in becoming who you want to become, not what other people expect you to be.  I help you to make choices based on your Truer Self and to have the courage to pursue those choices.   How Coaching Is Delivered Coaching is most powerfully delivered through regular bimonthly sessions.  Phone coaching is effective and focused, and many people appreciate the convenience of calling from their own home or office, without having to travel for their session.  For those in the New York City area, one-hour sessions may also be held in person at my home office in the Times Square area. Life Coaching and Mentoring We will begin with a 1-¼ hour Discovery Session, where we explore the areas on which you want to be coached and begin to set some goals, plans and action steps.  You will choose whether your monthly sessions will be 30, 45 or 60 minutes per session, and we will schedule your sessions for the next month. A minimum commitment of 3 to 6 months is strongly recommended. Many clients stay with their coach for several years, in order to see real results and make deeper changes. Discovery Session:  $200 Monthly Coaching: – Two 30-minute sessions per month: $175  – Two 45-minute sessions per month: $265 – Two 60-minute sessions per month: $350   Career Transition Fast Track This program includes 4 customized hours of coaching over 2 to 3 months. We will work with the Life Purpose Process to help you clarify your new career path. We will begin with 2 one-hour sessions, 1 to 2 weeks apart, in which we do an in-depth Self-Exploration process to uncover the Elements of Your Ideal Career and create a list of Career Possibilities.  We will then assess where you are in the process and decide how to schedule the next 2 hours.  Some people need additional time on Self-Exploration to further clarify their best options. If so, we may continue with one-hour sessions.  Other people are ready to begin researching their best options.  In that case, we may switch to half-hour sessions, with more field work between sessions, to support you in evaluating your research and coming up with your ideal career choice. Finally, we will create a strategy for transitioning into your new career. 4 hours of coaching: $600 For more information . . .
