Frequently Asked Questions

The goal of solutions-focused coaching is to empower clients to create solutions for him/herself through a process of questioning and reflection. Coaching can address personal and/or professional challenges, but the underlying belief in solutions-focused coaching is that the client holds the answer to certain challenges; it is the coach’s job to ask the right questions so that the client is able to arrive at these solutions. I expect my clients to come into the session with something he/she wants to work on, and together, we will create a desired outcome for each session and action items for moving forward. 

I work with individuals who seeks a partner in creating solutions in any aspect of their personal or professional lives. I've worked with educators who want to see better outcomes for their students, parents who want to achieve greater balance in their lives or reach personal goals, and executives who want better results out of their teams, amongst others. 

I've spent much of my career working for schools and districts, coaching teachers. Therefore, the stakes of our work are very high, as our work directly impacts students and schools. I push teachers to take a hard look at data when we create and evaluate their goals, and I do the same for all of my clients, with the ultimate goal of concrete, successful outcomes. Just as I want my work with teachers to directly impact students in a way that delivers tangible, impactful results, I want all of my clients to see such results in their own personal and professional lives. 

Our work together will begin with a one-hour intake session, where we will explore goals, values, and priorities, and from there develop some potential areas of focus. Subsequent sessions are 30-40 minutes, and take place virtually. At the beginning of each session, I will ask my clients what they want to discuss, and what they would like as an outcome at the end of the session.
