"Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started."

Co-Active Coaching

As certified and trained coaches, we know you are creative and resourceful, that you are definitely not broken and do not need fixing. We do not give advice or answers. If you want someone to give you answers, coaching is definitely NOT for you. We start with the assumption that you are the expert on yourself and intuitively know what is right for you. We are the catalyst for you to access your own inner wisdom. We offer you different perspectives, brainstorm with you and ask lots of questions. Many of our questions might have you pause and gasp as they will always be direct, very honest and sometimes edgy. Most of the time, you will end the session with assignments to put your learning into action. We will ask you how you want to held accountable for the actions that you commit to.


Coaching is the most graceful, honest and respectful relationship you might have ever had. We are trained to listen very carefully, not only to what you are saying, but also to what you are NOT saying. We may challenge what you think is true, separating fact from the belief. We will champion you to get you to stretch beyond what you ever thought you could do.


We never take on clients we cannot believe in. We love the essence of every single one of our clients. We see who they are at their heart, who they are longing to be and what they are hungry for. It takes a lot of courage to question one's beliefs, to make change and to take risks. It is most definitely not for those who want to just coast through life. It takes determination, strength and perseverance to go for what you want in life.


Coaching includes all parts of people's lives - careers, relationships, recreation, personal growth, finances and more. These areas are interrelated and all impact your life.


Team Coaching: Applying a proprietary methodology called "Team Diagnostic Assessment™", the client team is guided through a five-step process that creates alignment and accountability for maximum effectiveness. Through this process, team members develop the mindset and skill set for creating and sustaining a fully engaged, inspired, high performing team.


Relationship Coaching: The most successful program for Relationship Systems Coaching to date, Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching's systems approach shifts the focus from the individuals in the system to the relationship itself.


Individual Coaching: Co-Active Coaching is a unique, proactive alliance with coach and client, working together as equals in meeting the needs of the client.

"No matter what skills we use, we have the client's fulfillment at heart, holding the vision of their most fulfilling life, seeing them in all their glory at all times."

Coaching Options


Your Process

First Step - Initial Consultation: In our first telephone consultation, you have a chance to see if my coaching style works well for you and I see if you are the right client for me. When we decide to move forward, the next step is setting up our Discovery Session where we will create the most effective strategy for you based on your individual needs.


Second Step - Discovery Session: In this two hour intensive session, we will discover the values that are your driving force and where you are living out of alignment with them. We will target your key coaching priorities and identify what makes you excited and joyful in your life. Together, we design an alliance that will empower the coaching relationship in order to draw out the best in you. We co-write a written agreement which sets up the parameters of a healthy relationship openly delineating expectations and conditions of our coaching relationship. It is vital to establish this fundamental step of integrity, honesty and open communication.


Our On-Going Relationship: Sometimes, we get in our own way and much of this sabotage is subtle. My work with you is supportive, playful, joyful and loving in bringing these subtleties to light. We suffer when we feel powerless in our lives. I will offer you different perspectives, challenge the thinking that holds you back from living a fulfilling life and call you forth to live your most magnificent life. I will support you on your path to create a life of "conscious intention".


Ready to get started? If you are intrigued, or even mildly curious, contact me for a free consultation. No strings attached. No obligation. You will either love it or you won't. Prepare to be challenged and to have fun.
