Sometimes
when we want to improve something in our life or achieve a
specific goal, we need a mentor, a motivator, a confidant or a
catalyst for change – a coach. A coach can help you examine and
clarify what you want and then encourage you to access your
inherent strengths and creativity to reach your goals. A coach can
help you unleash your potential.
Perhaps
you want to...
- communicate
more clearly with your board
- achieve
more balance in life
- improve
relations with colleagues or another department
- develop
executive presence
- master
a skill
- become
more creative
- take
charge of your career
- adapt
to a new life situation
- enhance
delegation skills
- organize
and prioritize work effectively
- conduct
better meetings
- prepare
for partnership or a new assignment
- find
greater purpose and meaning
Whatever
you want, creating change is a complex process, not subject to
quick fixes. It is a journey that takes time and commitment.
Different
for everyone, coaching must fit each person’s unique needs and
circumstance. The process involves discovering new ways of looking
at yourself and the world, determining what you value and what
gives you meaning, then nurturing change by practicing new ways of
operating and building on success.
We
talk face to face, as well as by phone. Together we design a
program of assignments for you to complete and new practices to
explore. We see what works best and alter the course based on your
experience until you get what you want.
I
view myself as your partner in this process – someone in your
corner, to help you recognize and bring out the excellence. I can
help you create a personal way to deliberately continuously
improve, with a light heart and your own voice. As your coach, I
am committed to your flourishing in a changing environment and
developing a rich, purposeful, engaging, effective and
success-filled life.
While
the impetus may come from one part of your life – work,
personal, family, community – you can apply principles you learn
and practice with a coach to every aspect of your life.
What
people say
In
the course of planning a major life-transition encompassing both a
career and a geographic move, I became "stuck." The
harder I worked at trying to figure out how to get from where I
was to where I wanted to be, the more immobilizing the process
became. Reid’s insights, observations and probing questions
helped me unlock the process and get moving again on the path to
change. Working with Reid was one of the wisest investments I've
ever made!
