I hold the Associate Certified Coach credential from the International Coaching Federal and the Board Certified Coach credential from the Center for Credentialing and Education. I’m certified by the Life Purpose Institute and Retirement Options, and hold a certificate in Adult Career Planning & Development from New York University.  I have been training coaches for several coaching programs since 2005, so I have a deep understanding of the coaching process and what really helps clients to move ahead. 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. Top   How Coaching Is Delivered Coaching is most powerfully delivered through regularly scheduled 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. If you prefer having the visual, we can meet on Zoom. We will begin with a 1½ 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 then have 2 30-minute coaching sessions each month. Longer and/or more frequent sessions are available on request. A minimum commitment of 3 to 6 months is strongly recommended. Many clients stay with their coach for a year or more, in order to see real results and make deeper changes.   Career Transition with the Life Purpose Process© This program includes 5 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 3 one-hour sessions, usually 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 to best support you.  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 phone 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.   Click here for information on pricing and packages.
