What inspired you to become a coach?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always had a fascination with interpersonal communication and coaching is a great way to help people develop themselves.\u00a0 I used it informally as a coach approach in asking rather than telling.\u00a0 Coaching unlocks the best within people.<\/p>\n

What specific areas do you focus on?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I focus on leadership and executive coaching,<\/a> helping leaders improve their communication skills and build trust within their teams.<\/p>\n

How long have you been coaching?<\/strong><\/p>\n

6 years.<\/p>\n

What do you love about coaching the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love it when people have ah-ha moments and discover something about themselves that they didn\u2019t know. I also love how coaching can change the culture within an organization.\u00a0 The leader becomes a more positive person, and everyone loves positive people.<\/p>\n

I also love the coaching community and what I learn from other coaches around the world.<\/p>\n

What is the biggest obstacle you have overcome as a coach?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charging what I am worth.\u00a0 I overcame it by listening to a book \u201cYou\u2019re a Badass at Making Money\u201d by Jen Sincero and reading \u201cOvercoming Under-earning\u201d Barbara Stanny. I also discussed it and had open conversations with my ICF<\/a> group about what coaches charge.<\/p>\n

What is one of the biggest challenges you helped your one of your clients through?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Identifying their blind spots and seeing how other people experience or see them.<\/p>\n

What types of clients do you most like to work with?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like to work with clients who have really bought into developing their leadership capability for a mission driven organization for a community.\u00a0 For example, leaders in social work or government that give back to society or help people. Their mission is to better the world, the community.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

How do you describe your approach to the coaching process with a new client?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doing a thorough assessment of their goals, creating a plan, and working the plan.\u00a0 I like to measure where they are at the beginning, middle, and end of our engagement.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite coaching tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The assessments.\u00a0 I believe in explaining the assessments to the clients.\u00a0 They can be very helpful in coaching.<\/p>\n

In closing, what do you want to say to anyone considering becoming a coach?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just do it!\u00a0 Coaching can change the world.<\/p>\n
