Why do I coach?

I coach because I believe that everyone needs a cheerleader. I have had some incredible cheerleaders and coaches in my life that have helped me get to where I am now. But I recognize that a lot of people don't have a trusted coach and guide to help them on some of their biggest life and career goals. My goal is to be that cheerleader and coach for people to help them get to the next step where they'll be most fulfilled. My coaching philosophy is based on the following principles: 1) Your time is precious - we'll be efficient and I won't waste your time if I'm not providing value 2) Listen more than talk- I'll focus on what you need and won't monopolize our sessions with unrelated commentary 3) Drill down on targeted areas of focus - You're good at a lot of things; let's target any weak areas and drill those until you feel confident 4) Respect and genuine concern - I'll always be respectful and I bring sincere, singular attention to our calls
