The 4 A’s of my coach approach:

1. Assessment: I help clients understand the context of their current situation, identify existing opportunities and challenges, and make a plan to move forward.

2. Accountability: I provide structure and accountability by expecting clients’ best efforts and being unconditionally constructive and objective during our time together.

3. Action: I help clients take action and build upon successes to create momentum toward reaching their goals, one after another.

4. Alignment: I help clients uncover and realign with their internal values and priorities to build their external careers and lives from the inside out to create lasting change.
