What is coaching? Coaching is quickly becoming one of the leading tools that successful people use to live extraordinary lives.  Through ongoing coaching sessions, you identify what is most important to you and align your thoughts, words, and actions, accordingly. Wellness Coaching is the application of the principles and processes of professional life coaching to the goals of lifestyle improvement for higher levels of wellness.

Coaching offers you a means for more balance, joy, intimacy, energy, financial abundance, focus, and action in every area of life.  With coaching, you will: set goals you truly want; do more than you would have done on your own; better focus in order to produce results more quickly; receive the tools and structure to accomplish more; gain a co-creative accountability partner.

What are the benefits of Group Coaching? People achieve more in a group than they do individually.  Deep learning occurs in the presense of the shared wisdom of the group.  Sometimes we don't always see our own issues clearly or at all.  In a group people see themselves with brilliant clarity -- obstacles, problems, things that stop them.

How do coaching groups work? Basically it works like this:  5 to 8 people meet via teleconference call; geography is never an issue -- members can call in from anywhere; regularly scheduled sessions are typically 75 minutes; members present their own agenda, receiving coaching, feedback, and support; members set their own best goals & gain accountability from the group; coaching fee are paid, monthly.

How is coaching different from therapy or consulting? Unlike therapy, which goes into depth about various issues, usually dealing with the past, and consulting which generally results in giving the client answers, coaching is more action-oriented and focuses primarily on the present and future.  Coaches enable clients to determine their own "answers" though the work done in the coaching partnership. We work only with clients who can use us well.  We are not therapists, parents, caretakers, or financial planners.  We refer clients to the best available professionals for their psychological, health, and financial concerns.  We help clients reach their goals.
