"Sometimes in life, we are too close to our own selves and we end up getting in our own way. When I was in college, I was searching to find out HOW to accomplish my life's dreams. I already knew what they were, but it seemed like the more I reached for them, the further they slipped away. Then along came Angela. She truly changed my entire life—not for just the better, but for the best. When I was not confident enough to be honest with myself, Angela kindly but honestly helped me to look at my life clearly. She showed me what I could not see because I was too close—I was in the thick of things. But as an outsider to my situations, she had the objectivity, but also the great love and kindness to teach me to be bold and confident in myself and in my decisions. She taught me how to stand up for my dreams and how to run towards them with my whole being. Now, I am right where I want to be and going right where I want to go—honestly confident in my life’s choices and myself. Thank you so much!"
What is a life coach?
Coaches help already healthy people improve their lives and support them in moving their lives forward. My view as a coach is to enhance the skills, resources, and abilities that you already have. I am your advocate and I encourage, challenge, question, and rally your efforts to change. You get out of the coaching experience what you put into it, so hire a coach when you're ready to make changes, and devote your attention to doing the work. I will work in a partnership with you, and you determine where you want our partnership to go.
How does coaching work?
We'll meet once a week for a one-on-one telephone call for 60 minutes. In each phone call, we'll plan and review together each of your "focus goals" and action areas, and map out your progress. I expect you to be prepared with a focus when you come to each meeting, although your focus can change as we explore. You set the agenda for each coaching meeting. We’ll work together to eliminate any obstacles that stand in your way. Then we’ll celebrate!
In addition to the weekly phone calls, we'll communicate by email, so you'll have my help and support throughout the week.
What are the benefits?
You'll have a partnership with someone who’s focused completely on you and what you want to achieve. You'll have help identifying what you really want, in every important area of your life, and you'll have help getting it. Your coach is available for you week after week, not just now and then. You'll have help finding your focus, developing and maintaining the right attitude and the right actions, overcoming obstacles, tracking your progress, and best of all, staying motivated!
What are your rates?
I offer a monthly package of four hourly telephone sessions for $500. Alternatively, single sessions are available as needed for $150/hour.
In addition, you have unlimited access to me through email.
Fees are charged by the month and are payable in advance. No contracts need to be signed and no long-term commitment is necessary.
Some companies pay for their employees' coaching. If you work for a corporation, your company may be willing to pay for your coaching sessions. Simply ask. You may be pleasantly surprised at the response.
How do I know if coaching is right for me?
A successful coaching experience starts with an individual who is motivated to grow. The personal rapport between the individual and the coach is paramount in helping to achieve optimal success. You should always evaluate any potential coach as you would any important relationship in your life, as it will be one that will require mutual trust and respect.
I encourage you to take advantage of a FREE 30-minute coaching consultation, after which there’s no further obligation. We talk about what life is like for you today, some aspects of what you’d like to achieve, and how I could potentially help you. Basically, we can both get a better idea if our partnership would be a good fit for you. Just call or send me an email and we can schedule our time together.
How long do your clients receive coaching?
Each person is a unique individual and has unique needs. Clients usually receive coaching for a period of three to six months. Generally it takes at least three months of work for any truly lasting change to be effective. Some, however, choose to be coached for a longer period of time.
