Respond to you with complete integrity and honesty. If I am sure of the situation and you're open to it, I'll make specific suggestions on how to handle a problem or "go-for" opportunity. If I am not sure, I'll say so. Honesty is one of my values; I am straight and expect the same from you. Regardless, use the best of what I say and use your own judgment. Listen to YOU with my mind, HEART and intuition. Most of us don't know how to listen and few of us feel listened to. A coach is trained to listen. When I hear a funny tone in your voice, or notice something amiss, I'll ask you about it. Often, it is these small moments that offer the chance to resolve something. However. I don't confront or push; I'll merely invite you to look at something.

Last verse of poem The Summer Day by Mary Oliver "I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel in the grass, How to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through   the fields, Which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do With your one wild and precious life?"

I Challenge YOU to spread your wings (TAKE ACTION) after making sure they will support you. As your coach, I expect you to be willing to take action. It may be doing some homework or a specific request for action. If any of it is too much, say so. If you want more, just ask. Use my analytical and intuitive gifts to identify anything that may be blocking your progress. Offer you a myriad of resources and tools I have available that can increase your own self-knowledge and further your effectiveness in all areas of your life. We can then evaluate together the insights you gain after working with any of these tools. Share my knowledge of communication skills that may assist you in your daily interaction with family, friends and business associates. Use my years of experience and training in cooperative problem solving to help you identify options and strategize resolutions. Protect our time together as a safe place for you to be yourself and keep our conversations completely confidential. Encourage the integration of your inside world with the natural world! Be here for you. I want to hear it all. If you have a personal problem, are disturbed by something (even me), are just starting to realize something big, can't wait to share a shift/win, call or e-mail me. Anytime. Be positive, lighten your load and have fun in the process. I WILL BE YOUR ADVOCATE, CHAMPION, CHEERLEADER, SOUNDING BOARD AND CATALYST!
