Do you:
Think everyone else is great, but feel your somehow lacking or not enough?
Have anxiety and self-doubt from past attempts to make changes?
Have great ideas but are scared of failure and disappointment?
Feel unsure of how to start or what direction you want to take?
Find yourself always taking care of others, and not yourself?
Progressive Coaching and the Path4Change can Help
What is a Progressive Coach?
A Progressive Coach works collaboratively on your goal or issue to help you identify and modify what is holding you back from reaching your fullest potential. It is a one-on-one relationship that provides a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you identify want you want, and how to get there. The Path4Change process can then help you use the strategic approaches and tools that I have found to be the most effective to achieve your goals.
What types of people have Coaches?
People from all walks of life work with Professional Coaches to help attain their goals. I help people with any personal issue or goal, including relationships, career, finance, health and more.
Am I Ready for Coaching?
The first step is often Awareness: Do You:
Have a strong desire to change some area in your life?
Have a goal to start or problem that you are ready to face?
See some benefits to making a change?
Are open to trying something new?
Have the time and energy to commit to this right now?
Can commit energy to effort towards my self-improvement?
What happens in a Coaching Session?
Each session is tailored to you and your goal or issue. In the beginning, we will explore the pros and cons of making changes and then explore your motivation to create a plan to achieve your goals. Once your motivation is high, we will explore known obstacles, alternate perspectives, and new strategies to bring about success. At the conclusion of each session, we will use what we have learned wins and setbacks to determine next steps to achieve the best outcomes.
Do I really need a Coach, can’t I just do it by myself?
Coaching can take you above and beyond your own personal limitations, using a strategy to ensure greater success. Often people do not realize that what they are currently doing is what stands in their way. A Coach can offer objective perspective, to help you see your obstacles, patterns and habits.
How is Coaching different from Therapy?
While coaching uses many therapeutic techniques and approaches, it is not therapy. Coaching is distinct from traditional therapy because it is not intended to address psychological issues. There is little emphasis placed on diagnosis, illness or the past in coaching. The primary focus is on looking at where you are today and what you want in the future.
Is coaching confidential?
Everything we discuss will be held in confidence and is not shared with others, not even your insurance.
DO YOU. . .
Long to do more in your life, but struggle to make it happen?
Have anxiety, worry, and self-doubt when thing about your life goals?
Feel like your just going through the motions?
Have a plan of action but are scared you won’t succeed?
Struggle with unwanted behaviors?
Feel unsure of what course of action to take?
First consider the needs of others, often overlooking yourself?
Are ready to take action? Is it time to make some changes?
Coaching can help you to successfully start a new chapter of your life by using an action-oriented, goal-focused, problem-solving approach. Coaching can empower you to realize your potential by helping your create a vision and step by step plan to facilitate positive changes in your life. I can help you identify and tap into your true potential, your optimized self, so you can see it, believe it, and do it.

Am I the Coach for you?
Path4Change Coaching is for people who want to explore new alternatives and approaches to enhance their efforts and goals. It is a way to find new creative ways to and uncover hidden strengths and abilities to help you achieve new levels of success. Coaching is a partnership that supports you, challenges you, and helps you move forward toward the achievement of your goals and visions. As you discover your path, naturally there will be times that stretch you beyond “your comfort zone” to raise awareness, confidence and your capability to create successes.
Accountability, Insight & Support
Working with me is not just talk, as theory and information are not enough. Everything that we discuss will be grounded in practice. Togther we will develop a way to take small, measurable, actionable, realistic and trackable steps towards your goals. I will give you all the tools I have to help you stay on your specific path, to achieve the quickest results possible. However the most important ingredient is your commitment to growing and learning as you reach your goals.
What is a Coaching Session Like?
At the start of each session we will establish what you want to work on. I will employ a coaching style that is open and non-judgmental. I will ask questions to help you discover what is possible, to encourage your own insight, commitment and actions.
Using this motivational approach, I may reframe or provide another perspective on issues you are uncertain about, or introduce a metaphor to help to illustrate a point. I may reflect back parts of a conversation or share insights with you to highlight opportunities for learning and growth.
Working in partnership, we will design actions that fit your goals, and work at the pace that feels right for you. Actions include thinking, creating, experimenting and doing. We will focus on what is the most important, and identify actions that will move you toward your stated goals , but the responsibility of the agreed-upon courses of action will lie with you.
To manage progress and improve accountability, I will check in with your progress of “next steps” from the previous sessions. This is to improve your self-discipline and helps hold you and me accountable to your intended actions and specific plan. We will then look at any new concerns, successes, or feedback, to determine priorities for the session.
