Our sessions will be:
Personalized
Our initial sessions will be dedicated to assessing your current goals and creating a personalized plan to fit your unique needs.
explorative
The work begins inward. Everyone has pain points when it comes to achieving transformational change. I’ll work closely with you to help identify and overcome your blockers.
Collaborative
Coaching is an alliance between coach and client. We’ll collaborate together on achieving what you want through trust and transparency. You and I will both be committed to doing the work.
FAQs
What is coaching?
A collaborative process where we work together to build strategies to get you where you want to be.
how much is your hourly rate?
During our initial chemistry call, we’ll discuss what may work for you as you explore this investment in yourself and your goals.
how often will we meet and where?
If you’re local in Seattle, I am happy to meet in-person. Otherwise, I’ll send you details to meet virtually via zoom. I meet most clients bi-weekly, but I am happy to explore what may work for you whether weekly or monthly.
how do i know i’m ready for coaching?
Coaching is about change and action. If you’re ready for coaching, it’s because you want something in your life to change. You’ve prioritized the pursuit of this change and committed to putting in the work by attending our sessions and reflecting in between sessions.
OK, but what do we talk about?
You set the agenda. You decide what coaching goals are important and meaningful to you and you determine where we focus our attention in each coaching session in service to those goals. You’re in the driver’s seat, and I’m your copilot.
how is coaching different from consulting or counseling?
Coaching has a future focus, identifying and achieving a desired future state. Coach and client are partners working together to achieve a client’s stated goals.
Consulting has a problem-solving focus, fixing a known issue and achieving greater results. Expert consultants help an organization fix problems and grow by offering advice and solutions.
Counseling has a focus on healing the past, examining repeated patterns of behaviors. Expert counselors lead the process of helping the client heal and achieve greater insight.
My approach
It all begins with a goal. Maybe you want to change roles or careers. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you want to become a people manager or lead your team in a different way. Perhaps you want to make a big change in your life. Whatever your next chapter may be, the way you view the journey ahead can make all the difference. I’m looking forward to hearing how I can support.
DREAM IT
You’ve got big dreams. Me too.
You’ve spent hours thinking over your next move and perhaps need an accountability and thought partner to explore your options and keep you on track.
BUILD IT
I’ve spent years building teams, programs, and boards. Now let’s focus on building what you want.
We’ll tap into what you want to build into your life, and develop mini goals along the way towards your overarching goal.
OWN IT
As a member of the LGBT+ community, a child of immigrants, and being raised in a lower income household, I’ve experienced my share of grappling with identity, oppression, and adversity.
As someone who experiences chronic physical pain daily due to an accident, I’ve learned to live life each day to the fullest that I am able - while leaning into the anxiety and depression that can sometimes accompany chronic pain.
My goal as your coach is to embrace the good, but also to support you through the not so good. We’ll work together to own your life experiences, and step upward with all of your collective identities.
