Coaching

When you hire me as your professional coach, you’ll get a personal champion for you having a great life and achieving what you want.  You and I will create a relationship where you discover things about yourself and your life that lead to much greater happiness, fulfillment, and success.

Your coaching experience will be about stripping away whatever is in the way of you being who you are, being your completely authentic self. Coaching will help you see that you already have your answers.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could have fun along the way? I bring a spirit of play and a sense of humor to coaching. I also “hold my clients big” — I believe you are creative and resourceful and that you appreciate hearing the hard truths that will help you grow and move forward in your life.

Factors that distinguish my coaching

• Certified as a  Professional Co-Active Coach by The Coaches Training Institute, and as a Somatic Coach by Strozzi Institute, both coaching schools accredited by the International Coach Federation

(Many coaches do not have formal training or have been through a brief program. I have completed over 200 hours of course work, completed a rigorous certification program, was supervised by 3 certified coaches, worked with a mentor coach, and passed both an oral and a written exam).

• Over 20 years learning from world-class performers in sports, business, music, medicine, and education.
• Extensive related education and training including a Ph.D. in sport psychology, and many courses on leadership, communication, and transformation
• I teach an undergraduate and graduate course on coaching (at the University of Alberta).

I bring to coaching a passion, integrity, love, inspiration, and dog-with-a-bone commitment. With this comes a unique ability to deepen the learning and forward the action for you as a client.

Coaching is primarily a relationship and I am a big believer in finding a coach-client match.  If you’re up to laughing more, loving more, and producing extraordinary results, let’s talk. Please drop me a line or give me a call and we can discuss possibilities.
