What Kind of Coach Am I?
I love learning. As a hobby, I often sit on the couch and learn something new from ChatGPT. I also enjoyed all the academic work I did to complete my Master’s and Doctorate. If you think about it, learning is fundamental to life, even at the cellular level. Learning creates forward momentum.
In my coaching, because of the fundamental importance of learning, everything starts with curiosity. The first goal is to deliberately develop an appetite for curiosity — not only about the world and how it works, but more importantly about how your own mind and body works. It’s not complicated. It’s worth the effort.
Coaching requires focus. There is always an intention and a purpose. For me, the intention is twofold. First, I want to feel useful. Second, I want to help you develop the skills to sustainably change how you feel. This has to be a need you already recognize in yourself. If you've reached the insight that you need to change the way you feel, that’s where I come in — to help you develop the skills to make it happen.
