A leadership coach to works with the leaders of an organization to help them maximize their abilities and lead their teams well. 

Coaching is.an iterative, targeted, interactive process designed to facilitate concrete changes in performance  - and bottom-line results. We help clients achieve their goals through powerful conversations that are intended to inspire new thinking, perceptions, and behavior that actualize your potential, improve your performance and professional goals, and enhance the quality of your life.

The objective is to focus on your potential (your unrealized ability, capacity, or possibility) by leveraging your strengths, uncovering what's in your way, and targeting the areas you are most interested in addressing to help you reach your goals more effectively.

The differences between coaching and psychotherapy are:

• Coaches focus on the future. Therapists focus on the past.
• Coaches center their work around the belief that clients are healthy. Therapists utilize a framework that is based on pathology and illness.
• Coaches work with the conscious mind. Therapists work with the unconscious mind.
• Coaches' work is often time-limited with specific desired behavioral outcomes. Therapists' work is open-ended with 'understanding' as the primary objective.
• Coaches work in person as well as over the phone. Therapists usually work in person only.

There are similarities between coaching and psychotherapy as well. They are:

• Both are concerned with making concrete changes in your emotional state and life.
• Both work to understand the self-limiting beliefs or behavior caused by thoughts and emotions that you may or may not be aware of.
• Both practices help you grow, change, and master your emotions.

1. Our approach to coaching is an emergent, iterative, holistic process designed to elicit powerful conversations using positive psychology. These conversations are intended to inspire new thinking, perceptions and behavior to improve performance, create directional clarity, achieve personal and professional goals, and enhance the quality of your life.
2. We ask powerful questions, we assign individualized homework, we utilize proprietary exercises and processes, and we often evaluate individualized metrics to help each leader tap into their unique potential. Our process is invigorating; the leader will begin to find clarity, change your mood states, and take powerful new actions in multiple areas of their life.
3. We implement positive psychology to focus on the character strengths and behaviors that allow leaders to build a life of meaning an purpose - to move beyond surviving to flourishing. 
4. We utilize The Empowerment Dynamic and Three Vital Questions (3VQ) approach, in which leaders will learn how to drastically transform their everyday workplace drama into resourceful, resilient and innovative relationships that improve organizational outcomes. By using these frameworks, clients will learn to catch themselves sooner in their reactive drama and communicate in new and empowering ways. 

Yes, you can. Coaching can be the catalyst to profoundly shift the trajectory of your life, enabling you to change the quality of your life, and the direction of your career in ways you never dreamed of.

Yes, all information is confidential, unless I suspect you will harm others or yourself.

We meet with clients once a week or every two weeks. Through many years of experience and testing of different time frames, we've found that this frequency yields the greatest returns in terms of change. Meeting once a week offers time for reflection and applicaion of learning between sessions, while maintaining the momentum of our work together.

In order to make coaching as convenient as possible for you, we offer several options. Coaching services can be conducted using a virtual platform, by phone, or in person in the Greenville area.

The time frame can vary greatly and depends on a wide range of factors: your goal(s), your commitment and openness to change, your capacity for introspection, your circumstances, how quickly and thoughtfully you complete homework assignments, and other unique factors

You may choose to terminate work at any time, although it is helpful for your coach to have a week's notice in order to prepare a final session that focuses on review and closure. Ultimately, that decision is up to you.
