Moore and colleagues (2016) cite five benefits originally identified in Deci’s (2013) presentation, “How do we support autonomy and build accountability?”:
- Positive behavior changes last longer
- Increased creativity and flexibility
- Improved performance
- Making changes is enjoyable
- Health and personal relationships improve
Working with a coach brings many valuable benefits beyond the accomplishment of a particular goal. In fact, many people hesitate to work with a coach because, “I don’t really have a problem.”

Coaching can help with solution-oriented activities, but it can also help people make lasting changes in many areas of their lives.
Often coaching begins with a question. Maybe you’ve asked yourself one of these questions:
- How do I get started?
- What is my next step?
- How do I change this behavior?
- How do I make stronger connections with people?
- What should I do?
- What can I do to enjoy life/job/family more?
- How do I get better at my job/family/skill?
These questions are just a few of the starting places my coaching clients have come from. If you have a goal, or just an inkling that there is something you want to change for the better…coaching might be right for you.

This package provides you with the support you need to get started on your goal. Lasting change takes time and focus. We usually meet twice a month.

You get support and accountability which leads to motivation and lasting transformation and improved performance.

The Enneagram is a tool for understanding underlying motivations for behavior. We develop our Enneagram Type early in life and it shapes our coping responses. Our strengths are mirror images of our weaknesses and we can use the framework of the Enneagram to find our “superpower” and reduce the negative impacts of fear-based thinking. Use this tool to improve your overall well-being and develop a language for talking to others in your life about your needs.

Resolutions don’t work, but mindful goal-setting that lines up with your values does. New Years day can come any day of the year with a Seasonal Tuneup. Many teachers and college students like to set their goals in August! Small business owners may need a tune-up at the beginning of the fiscal year. Others enjoy reassessing their goals with the changing of the natural seasons. Whenever you need to reset and find focus, a Seasonal Tuneup can help.

Dissertation Support Package

Your dissertation committee is there to guide your research. Your advisor is there to guide your process. Your COACH can be there to help you get through the day or the week, and to provide positive accountability and productivity motivation. Coaching sessions can be about remembering your values, finding a stronger sense of self as you address impostor syndrome, or even making a writing and research plan. After 25 years in academia, I understand the struggles of academic achievement. Sometimes you need a smiling face and a helping hand.
