The Golden Line Coaching

What matters most?

You can create what you want in your life.

The question is: what do you want?

I support my clients in creating a compelling vision for themselves and a plan to go after it. Together, we identify and remove blockers. We tackle all the twists and turns that inevitably come up whenever you’re trying to create something new and different for yourself, your team, your organization.

If you’re feeling the drain of “I don’t want to do this anymore,” that’s a sign that you need to reevaluate.

Let’s talk.

Maybe you don’t know what you want.

Not everyone starts coaching knowing what it is they want. They just know that they want SOMETHING to change.

They may feel lost or adrift. They often feel as though they are mindlessly meandering through their lives—doing whatever comes up, rather than living intentionally and aspiring toward something they find compelling.

These people come to coaching seeking the all-too-often elusive feeling of purpose. But where do you begin to seek purpose when you simply don’t know what you want?

Does that sound familiar? You know you want something different, something better, something you’re excited about!

But, what?

I help you explore what’s possible—as well as what you may currently think is impossible.

What’s in the way?

Maybe you have a crystal clear vision of what you want.

Maybe you want that promotion. Or you want to be more confident. Maybe you want to course-correct a project that’s gone off-the-rails. Maybe you want a better relationship with your boss. Or you want to be seen as a leader in your organization. Maybe you want a totally different career altogether. Or you want to be a better manager. Perhaps you just want to learn something new because that’s what feeds your soul.
BUT…
There’s always a BUT, isn’t there? A reason why not. A something that prevents you from taking action. A talk track in your mind, whispering to you about how you can’t. You mustn’t. You couldn’t. Because [insert your favorite reason here].

What if that’s all wrong? What if you couldn’t fail? What if it was easy? What if the answer is right in front of you, but you just can’t see it? What if there is, indeed, a way?

And what if all you needed to do was try?

I help you get unstuck and get going.

FAQs

What is coaching?

Coaching is a conversation with a trained professional who’s dedicated to your growth and development. Think of a coach as a “professional thought partner”—someone who can ask good questions, offer insightful observations and encourage you to unveil and embrace your full potential.

What is the process for coaching?

1:1 coaching: We start with a FREE 50-minute Sample session, where you can try me on as a coach.

If you decide you’d like to take the next step, I will send you a link to schedule a reduced-rate Discovery session. In the Discovery session, we align on our expectations, goals, and metrics. We also might develop some tools to use in later our sessions.

If you’re ready to do the work, I’ll send you a coaching agreement, along with a link to pay for your coaching package and schedule the 1st of 6 sessions.

All sessions are via Zoom, unless otherwise agreed to in advance.

What happens during a coaching session?

1:1 coaching: Each session, we take on a topic of your choosing—often directly related to your overall goals, but not always. We will start the session making sure we are aligned on what we’re trying to do in the session.

And then we talk! We explore! We dig! We consider! We learn!

(To be honest, the words I use here will never truly describe what a coaching session is like. You just have to try it to get it!)

Sessions tend to conclude with some kind of homework to do between sessions. Homework is co-created in our session—which can take on a lot of different forms. The goal is that we’re building upon the discovery and learnings from your sessions with the homework.

What types of clients do you work with?

My simplest definition of who I work with is: anyone.

But to be slightly more specific, my most common client description is: professionals that want to create something new and/or different for themselves, often during or after a period of upheaval or stress in their professional life. Examples:

  • a big change is upon you or recently transpired

  • you received a poor performance review

  • you are or have endured a toxic work culture or a bad boss

  • you are recovering from a termination of some variety

  • etc.

I’ve cultivated my skills in coaching techniques that help individuals:

  • recover their identity after a period of destabilization

  • co-create, explore and refine their vision for what could be different

  • co-create aligned actions in support of that vision

  • grow skills and competencies to bolster the actions

Are you a career coach?

I often cover career-coaching related topics; in fact, I’d say it is the most common area people seek my coaching in.

However, what people traditionally think of as a career coach (reviewing resumes, navigating salary negotiations, preparing for interviews, etc.), I don’t do it the way you’d expect.

Here’s a way to think of how I do career coaching: I help people figure out what they want. That inherently requires one to know who they want to be or who they need to become. If the answer to what they want is just “to get a new job,” we start working on what that looks like from the inside out.

I find that when my clients engage in the job search from a place of authenticity and alignment to their values, they achieve better outcomes. When they are confident in what they have to offer, they show up differently in the process. When they know who they are and what they really want, they have an easier time searching because they know what they are looking to find.

Let’s just say that resumes become easier to write when you know what you want and you’re confident that you’ve got what it takes to get it.
