What Is Coaching?
In general terms, coaching describes a professional partnership in which the coach and client work together to help the client increase self-awareness, generate learning, and identify and accomplish meaningful goals.
Academic Coaching adds another dimension in which the coach and client explore a variety of skills specifically aimed at students. Academic Coaching will: a) help you understand your learning style and apply it to maximize learning efficiency; b) help you understand your motivations so that you can become more proactive and engaged; c) enable you to reduce stress by creating effective systems; d) boost your level of confidence and excitement about your future goals & plans.
Parent Coaching helps parents better understand their teens and nurtures the development of honest & meaningful family relationships. Parent Coaching zeroes in on what is causing communication to break down and how to re-establish it respectfully and productively.
Transition Coaching will equip you with the skills, habits, and mindsets needed to navigate periods of change and uncertainty confidently. In our work, we will focus on a) developing a mission & vision for your life; b) working with limiting beliefs & misconceptions; c) setting goals; and d) planning for the future.
To be clear, I am not a therapist/counselor, mentor, or consultant. My job is not to tell you what to do, or how to be, or what to think. My job is to help you discover those things for yourself and to figure out what works for you.
Do you do online coaching?
Yes, absolutely! Thanks to the internet I can coach online or face-to-face, so we don’t have to be in the same place or even in the same time zone to work together!
How much does it cost?
My base rate is $80/hour, but that depends on whether you purchase individual sessions or a package. I generally suggest a minimum of 10 sessions, not including your FREE introductory session, but that is entirely up to you.
