Q: What is coaching?

A: Coaching is a highly focused process that unlocks potential and maximizes performance in any area of life whether it is professional or personal. It is a formal system that produces positive, lasting change.

Q: What is a coach?

Q: Who hires a coach and why?

A: People hire a coach because:

• They want to make their life easier

• They want more (or less) of something that they've decided is important in their life

Q: Why haven't I heard of coaching before?

A: Coaching has long since been the best-kept secret of the rich. The richest and most successful people in the world use a coach and it's no accident. What all high achievers know is that they need someone who can give them an objective view on the results they are working to create in their lives. A coach not only holds you accountable for the results you desire, a coach also provides you with insights and strategies you can use to achieve those results in the best way possible.

In working with a coach it is common for people to feel more fulfilled, supported, encouraged, inspired, motivated, listened to, understood, confident, successful!

Q: How do I choose a coach?

A: Working with the right personal coach can have a profound impact both on your success and fulfillment. Given the significant commitment of money and time that a coach would require from you, it would be in your interest to spend some quality time on selecting the right coach.

• Interview several and have sample sessions. You want to make sure you have a rapport with your coach and can have the basis for respect and trust. Ask for a sample session. Ask for references. And at the end, trust your "gut" feeling in this process.

• Know what you want in a coach. Do you have a male or female, or age preference for your coach? Are there specific personal styles that you are drawn to? To the extent you can articulate clearly what you are looking for, you can find your match faster.

• Know what outcomes you seek. Do you want to focus on your career, your relationships, your work/life balance, or something more specific?

• Know what you need. Coaching is not therapy. Make sure you understand the difference between the two and are really seeking the right venue for your needs.

Q: How long do your individual clients work with you?

A: I recommend (but do not require) that my clients make a three-month commitment to the process. My clients sometimes hire me for a specific project or for unlimited periods of time.
Most of my clients work with me three weeks on and one week off for about a year. After that, many of my clients have their sessions once or twice a month as a check-in and for ongoing improvement.
