A Phased Approach
|
|
|
The phase-by-phase structured approach I use provides an excellent foundation for your success and is great for individuals who are interested in intentionally designing or redesigning the next phase in their life or career.
What follows is an overview of each phase, followed by my recommendation for you based on our exploratory discussion. Regardless of where you begin, I’ll always stand at the ready to help you stay out of your own way and on a course toward your wildly important life or career goals with confidence. |
Engaging in one phase in no way obligates you to take on another. I’ve simply put my program together in a way that, through many years of working with clients, I’ve determined works best. I’ve also designed each phase to be completely independent of the other and yet work together beautifully.
Phase 1 – Fearless Foundation Phase 2-Recruit Your Employer Phase 3-Strategic Intervention Phase 4-Maintaining Momentum |
A Brief Overview of Each Phase

Phase 1: Fearless Foundations
It includes an initial exploratory session, one 60-90-minute strategy session, and six 45-50 minute coaching sessions. We’ll agree on assignments for completion between sessions. The Phase is an excellent start for Leaders, Entrepreneurs, and Professionals alike. 3 Month Retainer |
Phase 2: Recruit Your Next Employer
Excellent for the Professional that needs a solid plan and a proven process for effecting a successful career pivot. One initial exploratory session, 1-90 minute strategy session, five-45-50 minute coached sessions. Agreement on assignments for completion between sessions. 3 Month Retainer. |
Phase 3: Strategic InterventionUse Strategic Intervention sessions to tackle a specific area of overwhelm or frustration in your career, relationship, or life effectively. We’ll only tackle what you specifically need for an area that is stagnant, worrying, or not gaining traction. This phase will draw on elements of both Phase 1 and Phase 2 but is not a substitute for either.
Excellent for the Professional that is not contemplating a career move but wants to work with a professional coach to address an area of overwhelm, confusion, or frustration in a very targeted way.

What's Next
Executives and professionals across all industries are particularly prone to thinking "Okay, what's next?". It propels them through their work. From time to time they realize that “what’s next” line of thinking has also been cropping up for them in their personal lives as well.
"I'm at the top of my game - now what? " "I make a good living - so what?". applies to you personally as well. (you’ve made it to some definition of the top—now what? You make a good living— so what?).
You're bored or no longer feeling energized by what used to excite you. Perhaps you have an opportunity to make a career pivot but you're not sure what that pivot ought to be. Maybe you worked hard to get just where you are and it isn’t all it was cracked up to be—what does that mean and where do you go from here? Perhaps personal matters have been placed on the back burner for a bit too long and now you're feeling overwhelmed. I hear you. I've been there, I know the way through and I’ve worked with many other professionals, leaders and founders like yourself. I can help you get a handle on next best steps for your situation and provide the tools to have you navigate it with confidence. All decisions are personal. I want to help you get clear, figure out what’s next for you and what's getting in the way.
