One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again

 Curiosity and creativity help pull values and ideas to the forefront of the conversation. Expect thought provoking conversations and a place to try on ideas. 

 As a professional, anything discussed with your coach is confidential. Nothing is off limits – if it is important to you, we can talk about it.  Your coach is bound by a code of ethics that ensures your personal information is never disclosed to anyone.

 You want to change, and your coach will be there with a gentle nudge to keep you on track. Through a process of making and keeping commitments, you will propel yourself down your chosen path. 

 Your wins should be celebrated! You may not recognize all you do now, but your coach will help you see the great things you are accomplishing. Had a stumble? Your coach will help dust you off and get you started again on the right track.

Your journey is yours, but there are methods and keys that can help make it easier and more successful. A coach carries a large tool bag that you will have access to as the need arises.  

Think Stagecoach, not Athletic Coach. Coaches are more of a means to move you forward - not a person standing on the sidelines calling the plays.  A coach helps you navigate from where you are, to where you want to go in the most direct way. 

 While many of the techniques coaches use are similar to therapy, coaches are usually not certified mental health professionals. If you feel that the work you need to do deals with mental health issues, we can recommend a therapist who can help. 

 Consultants are experts in a specific field and will tell you exactly how to proceed using the tools they know. Coaches will never tell you how to do something, but they do have useful tools to help you discover YOUR way of doing things. 

  Mentors have walked the path you want to walk. They know where the danger is on that road and where the rewards are. Coaches may or may not have gone through what you are going through, but they are great listeners, and will understand what drives you and how to find your own path.

Coaching is a safe space where you can be your authentic self. There is no judgement involved in coaching. Coaches are with you in the good times and the bad. Your path is yours, and where you are is the perfect place to be starting from.
