WHAT IS TRANSITION COACHING?
A coach is like a “personal trainer” who partners with you to support you in facing and conquering life challenges. As a transition coach I support those experiencing significant change in their life such as a job change (or wanting one!), a divorce, a geographical move, kids leaving home, parent care and passing, or feeling stuck in life and not knowing how to move forward in life in the way you would like. Significant change impacts your sense of satisfaction and well-being and often requires that you take a new and fresh look at your life.  A transition coach partners with you to look at new possibilities and how to reach new goals.

HOW WILL COACHING BENEFIT ME?
Working with a coach helps people usually move forward  more quickly. Also, with a coach you are much more likely to push yourself forward to achieve greater rewards. Coaching supports you in developing strategies for dismantling the stressful and limiting thoughts that interfere with and distract you from achieving your full potential. You will feel listened to, given the opportunity to explore new avenues and opportunities, supported in making choices and in designing small consistent steps to achieve your new goals. 

HOW DO I PICK BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP COACHING
In our initial conversation, we will talk about what you are looking for and what type of coaching setting would best support you.  The final decision is entirely up to you.  The value of one-on-one coaching is that the client has dedicated time to talk about their concerns.  There is also more flexibility in appointment times.  The value of group coaching is that the client has access to the inherent wisdom a group offers along with support, camaraderie and accountability.  Group coaching is less expensive and also a great way to make new friends and be introduced to new opportunities!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THERAPY AND COACHING?
I like to think of a therapist or counselor as an archeologist and a coach as an architect.  One helps you deal with the past the other helps you create a new future.

Essentially, a therapist is the professional who helps you find the answers to pain and brokenness.  Therapy most often deals with your past and how it may be affecting your present response to life situations.  Gaining a richer understanding of this can you put the past to rest and help you move on to live your life in the present more fully.

A coach is a professional partner who assists you in discovery and design for your future.  A coach helps you learn new skills and gives you tools to build the life you desire. The coach stands with you helping you identify challenges, then partners with you to turn challenges into victories, supports you and holds you accountable to reach your desired goals.

WHERE DO YOU DO YOUR COACHING?
I have an office in Sacramento, CA; however, I do most of my coaching – both individual and group – by phone.  Advancing technology allows us to set up virtual office space with rich access to each other and to materials.  Watch for the start of the next Springboard Bootcamp: a roadmap through change. A exciting opportunity to discover the new life that awaits you.

WHERE ARE YOUR RETREATS HELD?
My “Dancing with Change” workshops are held in various places.  Frequently people decide to have the retreat in their area and support the logistics in putting on a retreat. This gives them a retreat discount plus holds the retreat in their area of choice . . . a win-win for everyone. 

WHAT CAN I EXPECT IF I WERE TO HAVE YOU AS A SPEAKER?
My presentations offer insights and humor in how we can navigate life transitions and in the process take better care of ourselves.  My presentations are highly interactive, fun and engaging.  My goal is to have each person walk away with practical steps they can take to live their life in a way that is more rewarding , fulfilling  and fun.
