FAQs

  • Coaching is a collaborative between you and me, where I help you tap into your full potential and guide you through change.

    Coaching is designed to help you clarify your thinking and take charge of your professional journey. I’ll start by looking at what you're doing now and how it matches up with your goals, dreams and values. Coaching helps you see new choices and makes big changes possible, pushing you past the doubts that hold you back.

    Instead of just fixing problems, coaching focuses on you as a whole person. I'll ask deep questions, listen closely and give feedback, creating a space where you can discover your true strengths and values and find your own unique way forward.

    If you're part of an organization, our discussions will include your company's goals and how coaching can help you meet them. You and I will look at your job, how you're growing and how well you fit with your work environment. This way, coaching helps you grow personally and become even more valuable at work.

  • Coaching is a key way to grow personally and professionally, offering a safe place for you to explore who you are and what drives you. It's a custom experience focused on your own goals, bringing you specific benefits.

    Here's what coaching can do for you:

    • Build self-awareness: Understand your strengths and areas for growth, and use them in making choices.

    • Make a stronger impact: Learn to lead and influence others at work in ways that are important to you, while being confident in who you are.

    • Grow continuously: Gain the bravery to take on big challenges, the strength to bounce back from tough times and the flexibility to do well in a changing world.

    I can't wait to find out what matters to you!

  • I provide coaching for individuals, teams and companies, focusing on what you specifically want to achieve. Here's what I offer customized just for you:

    • Emerging Leaders: We help grow future leaders ready to innovate, work well with others and bring about positive change in their workplaces, benefiting everyone's future.

    • Career Transitions: If you're moving to a new job or role, whether planned or sudden, I offer support and guidance to find success in your new direction. I’m also here for companies to support existing staff.

    • Career Coaching: Together, we'll identify your job goals and plan how to reach them, no matter your career stage. I help you understand your strengths, choose the right career moves and even improve your resume and online profiles.

  • Facing a career transition can be a profound moment of reflection and decision-making, whether it's choosing a new direction, rebounding from a layoff, navigating a termination, or adapting to organizational restructuring.

    You're not navigating this path alone. We can work together to discover what truly makes you stand out — identifying your strengths, passions and core values to set the stage for a career that genuinely aligns with who you are.

    My goal is to develop a straightforward, practical plan that reflects your career ambitions, helping you to see a clear way forward. Crafting personalized resumes, cover letters and social media, I aim to highlight your unique skills and experiences, presenting your story in a way that resonates.

    Preparing for interviews may feel daunting, but with targeted practice and preparation, we'll work to bolster your confidence, ensuring you're ready to make a lasting impression. Networking too plays a critical role in uncovering new opportunities; we'll explore strategies to connect you with the right circles, potentially revealing exciting career avenues yet to be considered. Should enhancing your skillset or even venturing into entrepreneurship be on your radar, these are conversations we can have.

    In this journey, consider me more as a partner than a coach. Together, we'll navigate each milestone, celebrate your successes and build confidence to propel you forward.

  • Assessments are powerful tools that will help you better understand yourself and your goals.

    Assessments also give coaches insight for the best approach to your coaching journey.

  • Our coaching starts by really getting to know your situation, hopes and what you want to achieve. Together, you and I will identify your main purpose, targets and figure out any big challenges or things that typically hold you back. Each meeting ends with planning what you'll do next and these actions keep you moving forward between our 30 to 60-minute sessions. I'll also schedule times where we look back at your wins and discuss how to best use what you've learned and how you've grown. If anything feels uncomfortable, or you need to make a change, please let me know!

  • First, you'll sign an agreement, a straightforward document that lays out our collaboration terms, costs, and guidelines, ensuring we're both on the same page. In our sessions, you're in the driver's seat, choosing topics that are specific, attainable, exciting, challenging and connected to your larger objectives. Privacy is a priority, so I limit my note-taking and approach each session ready to understand your perspective. To get the most out of our time, it's beneficial to consider in advance what you'd like to discuss. Between meetings, I'll assign pre-work and follow-up activities to reinforce your path to achieving your goals. Open communication is key, so if you need any adjustments or have concerns about our approach, I encourage you to speak up. Our meeting frequency will adapt to your chosen package and needs, ranging from weekly to monthly sessions and we'll maintain contact in between to accommodate your schedule seamlessly.

  • From the outset of our coaching journey, you and I will establish clear, specific and measurable goals together, creating a foundation for observable progress and tangible achievements. Your journey will be marked by regular reviews of these goals and consistent check-ins, providing a platform for you to voice your perceptions of your evolving journey, achievements and areas requiring more focus. One of the most transformative aspects of the work will be the noticeable changes in your behavior, decision-making and communication styles — subtle but significant shifts that you and those around you will observe. In a corporate setting, the results extend beyond personal development, often reflecting a robust return on investment through enhanced performance metrics like reduced turnover and increased revenue. Throughout this process, a critical component of your growth will be your accountability in consistently meeting the agreed-upon actions or tasks, reinforcing your commitment to your development and the effectiveness of the coaching partnership.

  • I serve a diverse range of clients, from individual professionals to organizations, spanning across Canada and internationally. Understanding the demands of modern schedules and the value of flexibility, I've adapted my services to primarily utilize virtual platforms like Zoom for our sessions. This method doesn't just offer convenience; it respects your preference for a comfortable and private setting, making efficient use of your time. However, for clients located nearby or for those who prefer face-to-face interaction, I'm more than willing to arrange in-person meetings, provided they're practical and align with our mutual availability. This blended approach ensures that regardless of your location, we can work together in a manner that suits your individual needs and preferences.

  • Confidentiality is a cornerstone of my coaching practice. As a member of the International Coaching Federation, I follow the Code of Ethics closely. All information shared in coaching sessions is held in strict confidence. Client information will only be disclosed with explicit consent or if there's an immediate and serious risk of harm to self or others. If there are any questions or concerns, please let me know.

  • Let's start with a free consultation to talk about where you are now and where you want to go. In this 30-45 minute chat, we'll see if my coaching style fits your needs. Feel free to ask any questions about my background or experiences. You can share as much as you're comfortable with and everything we discuss will be kept confidential.
