What is coaching and how can it help me?
Coaching is a relatively new profession which blends the best concepts from business, psychology, philosophy, sports, and spirituality. Although coaching combines skills from these other disciplines, its a distinct process of supporting others to create an ideal life or more positive outcome involving a dialog between coach and client with the aim in mind to help the client obtain a fulfilling life, career, or business.
Examine anyone who's achieved a level of success and satisfaction in life and you’ll likely find they received valuable guidance, usually in the form of a trusted mentor or coach. One of the many benefits to working with a coach can be to help you uncover obstacles that are holding you back while helping you put into practice a strategy for achieving your most sought after goals and dreams.
Why work with Patti?
I draw on years of experience and practical learning about what it takes to open your heart and reveal your core essence. I use tools and strengths learned through comprehensive training courses in coaching practice and principles together with influences and mentorship from many of the world’s top self-help guru’s. I’ll help you create a powerful master plan of your own to help you begin living a truly successful and authentic life.
Here some of the reasons why people choose to work with me:
- They feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges
- Success always seems out of reach
- They’re having trouble uncovering their life’s purpose
- They want to have more time, more fun, and less stress
- They want to be more confident
- They are ready to take back control of their life
My coaching style has been described as warm, direct, and fun. I push my clients out of their comfort zones but not beyond their limits. I am there to celebrate their successes and to support them when they stumble. I love to laugh and believe that humor is one of the best tools to take with you on the road to authentic happiness and success.
Who do you coach?
I coach anyone who is ready to shed their fears and self limiting beliefs and begin trusting and living from their heart. My clients range from top-level corporate executives to students and entrepreneurs, active professionals to retirees. Anyone who desires to live a more authentic, happy and successful life can benefit from coaching with me.
How do I get started?
Complete the form you’ll find on any of my website pages to request your no cost 30 minute trial coaching session. I'll contact you to schedule a time that works best for you.
How long are the sessions and how are they scheduled?
Each session lasts for 60 minutes and I recommend spacing them at least a week apart.
Do I need to come to your office to be coached?
My coaching business is predominately conducted by telephone. You can conveniently work with me from the comfort of your own home or office – anywhere you have telephone or internet access. (And you can even show up in your pajamas!)
What’s included in my sessions?
In addition to our one on one personal time together I provide “field-work” to be done outside the coaching sessions. Follow-up e-mail support between sessions is also available to ensure that you remain enthused, acknowledged and supported as you go along.
How much does coaching cost?
There are several price levels of coaching packages and courses based on your individual preferences. You'll find a complete list of rates and packages on the Your Investment page.
How do I pay for coaching?
I accept secure online payments via PayPal. Payment for individual sessions and packages is due in advance of the first session.
What happens if I need to change or cancel an appointment?
A large part of the accountability which grows from a coaching relationship begins with the client’s ability to show up for all appointments each time, on time. It’s important to realize the full value of coaching by being ready to fully participate. If you show up late for your appointment, you won’t be able to make up any part of the missed time. Appointment times are valuable and irreplaceable, so I don’t have a cancellation policy. However if you need to reschedule a session, inform me in writing at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled time so that you can be sure to secure another appointment time.
Is life coaching guaranteed to work?
The results of life coaching lie within the actions and ultimately the work done by the client, therefore it would be impossible and unethical to guarantee results. However, I fully and completely guarantee my services, which means that if at any time during the course of our sessions together you find that our coaching relationship is no longer serving your needs, you may request a refund of any unused coaching fees you've paid to date. You'll be promptly refunded any remaining unused payments (this does not apply to sessions which were missed without prior notice). You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by getting started right now.
Is the personal information I will be sharing with you considered confidential?
Yes! Trust is essential in building a strong alliance. I guarantee that everything you share with me will remain in complete confidence. Working with me you have a safe and courageous place to be with your heart’s longings, trust the unfolding life path that beckons you and design your own authentic actions to move forward.
