WELCOME! I am excited about our collaboration and look forward to supporting you on this incredible journey.
To establish a strong coach-client partnership and collaboratively pave the way towards your goals, it is crucial for both of us to fully embrace our respective roles.
THE CO-CREATIVE RELATIONSHIP
The relationship between a coach and client is Co-Creative, meaning that we are equals. I am not a therapist, counselor or consultant. I am a trained coach using honed communication skills to support you as a thinking partner. Together we create more power for you to effect meaningful change and take dynamic actions towards your goals.
