Authenticity | Clarity | Momentum
coaching approach
Authenticity, Clarity and Momentum represent pillars in exploring and developing the whole human being: professionally and personally; emotionally, physically and spiritually; at work and home, at play and at rest. The pillars apply at micro and macro levels and to individuals, teams, departments and organizations.
Coaching starts with the pause we seldom take. This is your consistent, dedicated and confidential space, where you stop everything to slow down, to think again and to think differently. You leave any whirlwinds outside the door. We partner to dream, reflect and learn, plan and act. It's making space to do really important work on what you really want, really don't want, what's getting in your way, and designing and taking steps forward.
Authenticity
Showing up, evolving and living into our true self. Although we may stumble along the way, we strive to be clear on who we are and to keep learning and growing into our authentic best selves.
Clarity
Being crystal clear and keeping front of mind our unique authenticity and clarity on what we really, really want to achieve. Authenticity and Clarity can be so strongly foundational. It can take time to establish this. Go slow to go better.
Momentum
From a place of strong authenticity and clarity, we identify and deeply commit to the right goals. These give us traction as we enter a state of flow, generating momentum: a more easeful, effective and efficient state of forward progress.

Individual, Team & Group Coaching
Together we develop a tailored coaching package. An exploration call confirms fit, form and function: What’s your single biggest challenge or frustration that you’re running into right now? What is this costing you? What is the ideal? How to move the needle and take action to gain momentum? And what coaching could look like in support of this?
We typically engage for 9 to 12 months, meeting for 60 minutes twice a month. Sessions are primarily online, and can be arranged in person for group situations. (I am grateful to be able to coach online and internationally, where timing and time zones allow.)
Positive Intelligence® & Mental Fitness Training
When it comes to achieving both success and wellbeing, learning how to manage your mind is the most important skill you can master.
One of the most relatable, self-sustainable and transformational complements to coaching today, is the Positive Intelligence® Program (PQ® Program). You will learn and apply mental fitness to self-manage your brain's activation to:
-
Weaken your inner critics (Saboteurs), reduce stress and fear based thinking
-
Boost access to your natural compassion, intelligence and creativity for focused action
Positive Intelligence® is a science-based approach, targeting root level brain activation and mindset by developing 3 Core Mental Fitness Muscles and generating your:
-
Peak performance
-
Peace of mind and wellbeing
-
Healthy relationships
This is not cult of happiness, toxic positivity or Pollyanna thinking. This is about opening up possibilities and our potential. This is a science-based transformational program for all us humans, in all ages, phases and stages.
Life is good in many ways and it will always include challenges, stress. As is famously quoted “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional” [multiple attributions].
We have a limited amount of energy and Positive Intelligence helps you understand how your mind and energy works in the brain and body to expand your options. You have more choice and access to greater potential through developing stronger command of your own mind. You can learn to spend your brain and body energy intelligently, so you actually have more energy. This is about reducing suffering through learning self-command of your mind.

Accessible Coaching
It is important to me that a percentage of my work is pro-bono and sliding scale to help make coaching accessible to more people. I am proud to partner with non-profit organizations, to serve in employee wellbeing initiatives, and as a supporting coach in the TED Fellows program.

Coaching is a great expedition, not for the faint of heart or uncommitted. This is not a simply great conversations; nor is it therapy, counselling, mentoring, consulting or training. It is one of the best investments you can make in your life and future.
Thinking differently is needed for progress, outside interruption and observation is usually needed to spark this process. It is easier with a trusted and professional coach walking with you, exploring outside comfort zones and disrupting your status quo, which can only be done from the outside. As your coach, I bring all that I am from experience and continuous learning. I partner with you and am open and non-judgemental, co-creating safe and confidential space and time. Together, we'll challenge and stimulate you to be authentic, gain clarity and generate momentum.
Know that coaching takes commitment and openness to self-compassion. It takes strong desire to learn, to grow. Are you willing transform who you are and how and what you do? The person that evolves with the help of coaching is not entirely the same person as when they started.
You will hold yourself accountable to being fully present in the sessions and to the actions you design towards achieving your goals. Step by step.
It also helps to keep a sense of fun, humour, gratitude and wonder and to not take yourself too seriously. Curiosity is our greatest ally.
Successful coaching comes through realizing that it starts with you. You are the expert in you and your life and work. You are fully capable. You have inner strengths and brilliance as yet untapped. And it takes self-awareness, valuing yourself and your development and knowing you deserve this.
Think about: What really matters? What are the possibilities? What might I regret not doing in a year? How is that costing me and others? What seems impossible that might be possible? What would be different? What do you want to do about that? How might an objective, non-judgemental and professionally experienced coach partner help you?
