who needs coaching?

In short, everyone.

There is not a person among us who hasn’t felt stuck or unsure of their next step at some point in their life. This might be a good time for coaching if

  • you know what you need to do, but you don’t know where to start
  • there’s a new job opportunity but you’re unsure if you should go for it
  • you don’t know what you want, but you know you’re not currently feeling fulfilled
  • you wish you could stop (insert negative habit here)
  • there’s a roadblock and you can’t see around it

what coaching is not

Mentorship

You don’t need me to give you a how-to manual, you just need a safe space to explore and give attention to what matters most in your life. You have the answers, and I’ll help you uncover them.

Therapy or Counseling

I am a firm believer in the power of therapy, but coaching is distinctly different. Here are some key differences between therapy and coaching:

  • coaches do not treat mental illness
  • coaching looks to the future while therapy often examines the past
  • therapy tends to be a long-term engagement; in coaching we’ll work to provide you with the toolset and skills to be successful

my coaching style

I am passionate about helping my clients by creating a supportive and safe space to explore possibilities and evaluate old patterns that may no longer be serving them. My coaching style is all about creating low-threat, high-reward conversations in which you are in the driver’s seat, and I serve as a helpful guide along your journey.

Life can throw you curve balls, and I know first-hand how hard it can be to reorient yourself after a setback. With the right mindset and support, anything is possible. Whether you’re struggling with personal challenges or looking to make big changes in your career, I’ll be there every step of the way to guide you toward your unique brand of success.

So why wait? Take the leap and reach out to me today – you won’t regret it!

Colette is so inviting. After our sessions I was able to tackle two of my biggest goals – moving to a big city and getting a permanent work position.
