Coaching for Individuals

Why do I need a coach?

Because it's hard to make a powerful change without help! You take a step forward, then maybe you get stuck and take a step or two back. You stall, or maybe you fail, sometimes epically. You then begin to doubt yourself + your skills. And your bold plans begin to unravel before they ever gain traction.

On your own, it's too easy to get off course, give in to your fears, and tell yourself you don't have what it takes to succeed. You might even start to believe that the only people who get what they want out of life are unique superstars who face few obstacles and have more genius + charisma than you.

The reality: Usually it's ordinary people with clear goals, knowledge of their capabilities, and "someone behind the curtain" who realize their aspirations.

Simply put, a coach provides insight, structure, and support to help you achieve more than you can alone. And if you choose to work with me, the question isn't whether you will grow, but how far.

When I decided to exit dairy farming, my wife recommended I work with Lisa to help me secure a deal that met my goals, and to identify new career opportunities. Lisa provided important insights and helped me hone my negotiation skills. Thanks to her, I got the deal I desired, and I've clarified my next steps. I have a new respect for the value of coaching. I recommend Lisa to anyone needing a push in the right direction.

How does coaching work?

When you work with me, you get:

1. A partnership where you take action toward your vision, goals, or desires.
2. A structured process of discovery designed to build your awareness + responsibility.
3. A relationship that provides you with support, resources + feedback.

To begin, I create a custom program for you using assessments + discussion to identify your strengths so we can build on your best.

Then we explore + examine ways that you can leverage your strengths to overcome obstacles on the way to realizing your aspirations.

Throughout the process, I act as a "thought partner" to promote insight, creativity + courage as you continue your transformation. I can also provide resources and, if you choose, act as an accountability partner.

As the client, you determine the direction, speed, and destination of the coaching relationship.

I have worked with Lisa, as my coach, over the last few years. Most recently, my action plan shifted away from moving within my organization as it became clear the best opportunities were at outside firms. Lisa guided me through each step: Resume & LinkedIn writing, job searches that matched my target-goals, interview prep, and finally, salary negotiation. What sets Lisa apart is how she drove my success by instilling confidence at each level of the process. Never was I so prepared for an interview. What was once a tremendous challenge for me is now perhaps my greatest strength. I am sure Lisa would say I succeeded on my own, however, her support and feedback enabled me to put my career back on target.

What do you expect from your clients?

My best partnerships are underpinned by three key characteristics:

1. Drive to push your capabilities.
2. Determination to face + overcome your fears.
3. Desire to blaze your own trail.

I also tell my clients that bold transitions require commitment. Change doesn't happen overnight. I have found that those who get the best results have the motivation, patience + perseverance to make a multi-month investment in a coaching partnership.

You are the author of your life and career. I consider it a privilege to coach and would be delighted to help you be + do what you've always wanted!
