Methodologies and Tools used:
My methodologies are based on my belief that clients have the resources and answers within themselves. The goal is to help them discover themselves and raise their self-awareness. Much of my change strategies and communication models are based on NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP), Communication Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence and models of Natural Horsemanship (and what horses can teach you!)
Oftentimes I suggest different books that have helped my clients with their self-discovery over the last decades. No book reports required! One of my favorites is Smart Work, a Syntax Guide to Influence, Second Revision, by Lucy Freedman. I love the way it appeals to anyone wanting to improve their communication and influence with others and with themselves.
I approach coaching from a desire to connect and communicate and help my clients find their best inside themselves and to recognize what they may be doing or thinking that is blocking their desired outcomes. I believe each person is resourceful and has what they need inside themselves. Our work will help you discover that!

“I want my clients to get what they want out of their coaching and we determine what that is before we begin. I believe you have all the resources you need to get what you want. We can discover them together and create a strategy to get there. Let me know what you want to attain!”
