Coaching Described

Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their careers, organizations and their lives. The Client (individual or organization) sets the agenda for coaching. Coaching supports the client in getting clear about objectives, creating a plan of action to achieve the objectives, and supporting the client to implement the changes.

A basic assumption of coaching is that the client is creative, resourceful and whole -- a capable partner in the coaching relationship. Coaching is forward-oriented. There is no therapy involved in coaching. Coaching clients  sometimes work concurrently with a therapist for matters outside of the coaching relationship.

Individual clients typically hire Susan to become more effective leaders, build their businesses, remove barriers to success, increase income, examine career transitions, resolve work conflicts and enhance work/life balance. The confidentiality of coaching discussions creates a comfortable space for clients to explore ideas and approaches in a supportive environment.

Through the process of coaching, clients improve their performance, get where they want to go more efficiently, and enhance the quality of their lives.
