Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is professional coaching, and what can I expect to gain from it?
Professional coaching is a creative, thought-provoking partnership that inspires you to maximize your personal and career potential. I serve as a partner who listens closely, asks powerful questions, and helps you discover new perspectives and unlock hidden strengths. You will gain greater clarity, confidence, and practical tools to reach your goals.
2. What is the Co-Active Model, and how does your methodology work?
The Co-Active Model is built on the idea that you are already creative, resourceful, and whole. You have all the answers you need inside you. My role is not to give you advice or tell you what to do. Instead, I ask powerful questions to help you uncover your own wisdom, clarify your goals, and move forward with confidence.
3. How is coaching different from therapy, consulting, or mentoring?
Coaching: Focuses on the present, maximizing your future potential and committed action.
Therapy: Focuses on healing past trauma or treating mental health issues. Coaching is not a substitute for therapy.
Consulting: Provides expert advice and solutions for specific problems. In coaching, I do not act as an advisor; you are the expert in your life.
Mentoring: Shares specific professional experience and guidance. As a coach, I focus on unlocking your unique wisdom, not sharing mine.
4. How long is a typical coaching engagement, and how often do we meet?
While every journey is different, most people work with me for three to six months. This time allows you to make important changes and discover new possibilities that truly stick. We typically meet for one 45-60 minute session every two weeks. Meeting consistently helps you build momentum and see lasting results.
5. How can I best prepare for our first coaching session?
The best preparation is simply to come ready to be open and curious. Before our first official call, I'll send you a short list of questions to help you think about your goals. When we meet, just bring one specific topic or challenge you want to tackle that day. We will explore your goals, figure out what's been stopping you, and create simple, practical steps to move forward.
6. Who can benefit most from your style of Career and Leadership Coaching?
My coaching is great for successful, motivated people—especially those from scientific or demanding leadership jobs—who are ready to do more than just the status quo. You are an ideal fit if you are facing a major career transition, experiencing dissatisfaction despite success, or determined to define your authentic leadership purpose.
