How a Coaching Session Works
Mexican Market Day

Coaching works because it brings out your best. A coach believes you have the answers and is trained to bring them out painlessly. This is how I would work with you during your coaching sessions:

1	Listen. A coach listens fully. You are the focus. I listen to what you say, what you are trying to say, and what you are not saying.
2	Share. After you have fully communicated, I share with you my advice, ideas, comments and views on your situation, dilemma or opportunity.
3	Endorse. Anyone who's up to something important needs - yes, needs - an outside voice full of endorsement, compassion and acknowledgement. Not as a yes-type person, but as someone who knows what it takes to achieve the goals you set for yourself.
4	Suggest. I want a lot for you. I want you to be healthy, happy and successful. I want you to be on a strong financial track. I want you to enjoy your family and friends. I want you to have a life that inspires others - and yourself. Part of my job is to be at least 3 steps ahead of you, yet be with you. As such, I make requests and suggestions. Yet, it's your life and only you can live it, so ultimately it all boils down to one thing: you decide.

Before getting started on our voyage, I would ask that you grant our relationship enough room so that you can reach your goals quickly. What that means is that you be willing to tell me all of what you are thinking and feeling and that you be willing to listen to what I have to say. And, you should take the time you want to develop the trust you need between us.

Trust is key, and only you can decide if it's there for you.

"Science is built up of facts,
as a house is built up of stones;
but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house."
Henri Poincaré (1854-1912)
