COACHING
“I felt like I was finally being seen. I have more space to create meaning in the things I do.”

PROGRAMS
The “Get Unstuck” 6
Designed with lawyers and other busy professionals in mind, the Get Unstuck 6 is a 6-month professional career strategy and coaching program to help you get unstuck, out of your career plateau and onto the next level with intention, purpose and direction.
Utilizing tools to reestablish your values, increase self-awareness, rediscover purpose and renew creatively, over the course of 10 sessions spread out across 6 months, together with assessments and a fully customized and Personalized Development Plan to guide our work together, you’ll walk away with the resources to continue pursuing your goals on your individual path.
The “Get Unstuck” 12
Built on the same ethos as the Get Unstuck 6, the Get Unstuck 12 coaching program is a 12-month professional career strategy and coaching program designed to accomplish everything we would do together in the 6 - but deeper.
By meeting at regular frequency over 12 months, the Get Unstuck 12 not only increases the accountability on executing the strategy that we would develop over the course of the 6, but also includes 3 additional 75 minute deep dive calls - quarterly calls to check in on overall progress, hone in on specific areas of “stuckness”, revisit your goals and redesign your Personalized Development Plan.
The “Get Unstuck” Primer
Using many of the same tools and methods, and offered at a more affordable price point than the 6 and 12, the Get Unstuck Primer is a set of 3 meetings over the course of 2 weeks designed to identify what is happening in your career, establish strategies and practices to help you figure out what’s next, and leave you with an action plan that you can implement going forward to take you to the next step.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

It might feel that way sometimes, but no. Coaching differs from therapy in a a number of important ways, namely - it is limited (i.e. we work for a set period of time); it is focused (i.e. we work towards specific outcomes); it is highly intentional (i.e. we are working from a program designed for you and you alone, and we stay on the path of that program); it is forward-looking (i.e. we are working towards future development, not rehashing your entire previous life - unless you really want to); and, coaching is not available to anyone - clients need to be developmentally ready to take on the work required of a coaching program.

While there is no strict way of working together, I tend to work with my clients for between 3 and 6 months at a time, usually speaking on a bi-weekly basis, and always providing ongoing insight into my client’s work and lives, and, offering practices that will allow my clients to continue to discover their own inner resourcefulness to implement meaningful development in their work and their lives. At the outset of our engagement, we’ll spend some time talking and getting to know each other, while I also listen for what I need to prepare a development program for you. From there, we co-create that program - your mission, your desired outcomes, and the tools and skills that we can work with together to get you there. At the end of our time together, I will leave you with a plan so you can continue to move forward in work and in life with continued competency, the means to self-correct, and a renewed commitment to your self.

My rates vary depending on whether I am working with an institutional client (i.e. an organization providing coaching for its teams or individual employees or team members), a single person, doing a speaking engagement, or providing other additional services in addition to coaching. That is all to say - I work with my clients to find the right cost that works for them and does not inhibit their ability to work with me and achieve their goals.
-
While I do, I find that lasting, meaningful change takes time, and I prefer to work with clients over a period of 3-6 months. Over that period, we track the changes that are made and really sense into the movement that is taking place toward intended outcomes. That all said - each person comes to me in their own circumstances and we can always find an arrangement that works to budget, schedule and other time limitations.
-
Life sometimes calls on us to change our plans, and that is OK. My goal is to make sure that, whether there is a pause placed on our work together, whether we have completed an engagement, or you simply have to stop - you are equipped with the skills and tools you need to continue in your own development going forward.
-
Both!
-
Typically, I work with my clients for a period of 3-6 months (between 10 and 12 sessions). Lasting and meaningful change takes time and practice and it is important to create a container for us to work within that allows enough space for that to occur.
-
Let’s talk and find out. Some of my favourite conversations are with potential clients who are coming to me and not sure whether they need coaching or if we’ll be a good fit. That’s why I prefer to spend time speaking and knowing, for both of us, whether we can work together and co-create a program that point you towards the outcomes you are looking for.
-
If you ask me, of course it does.
But don’t take it from me.
One study showed that psychologically informed coaching approaches (like Integral Coaching) facilitated effective work-related outcomes, particularly on goal attainment, self-efficacy, goal attainment and internal self-regulation.
Additionally, integrative coaching approaches facilitated better outcomes, including coachees' psychological well-being.
Others have shown that clients reported increased self-awareness and clarity of thought, more solidly built leadership skills, the achievement of organisational or professional goals, better work/life balance, improved relationships and a greater sense of purpose, values and self.
