The goal of coaching is to generate new possibilities for the future, identify those possibilities that you most desire, and then develop the course of action that will achieve those goals in a way that best fits you.

Coaching focuses on enriching and enhancing personal, social and business effectiveness through:

• Imagining and defining your goals for the future;
• Identifying the strengths and resources required to accomplish those goals;
• Creating the strategies necessary to generate your desired outcome;
• Purposefully constructing your desired futures.

My coaching will emphasize:

• Appreciating and optimizing your key strengths, resources and abilities that relate to your goals;
• Focusing on the future to guide your thinking and your actions in the present;
• Using your imagination and vision to explore possibilities for the future;
• Developing the competencies and confidence necessary for achieving your personal, relationship and professional goals;
• Balancing your work, family, friends and life;
• Keeping your actions in line with your values, priorities and life mission.

Counseling

My counseling offers a positive, collaborative and future-focused approach to those who are facing significant challenges, changes, problems, and losses in their lives.

Relationships are key issues in my counseling.  I address communication, conflict resolution, decision-making, empathy and intimacy as well as the unique issues of any given situation.

I view changing circumstances, problems and crises as opportunities for positive change and greater satisfaction.  I strongly believe we can all grow successfully through the challenges we encounter when we frame those encounters as catalysts for creative and positive change.

Consulting

POSITIVE LIVING:

Positive Living is a creative thinking and action process that can enable us to construct a satisfying life in a world of unpredictable turbulence, uncertainty and, also, unexpected possibilities.  We can learn to transform our challenges and crises into opportunities that invite us to experience our lives and our work as positive, affirmative and meaningful. This is an ongoing process that utilizes curiosity, collaboration, appreciation, imagination, dialogue, and hope to construct new chapters of success and satisfaction in our lives.

POSITIVE AGING:

When aging can be understood and valued as a natural period of human growth and development, it can offer all of us expanded opportunities for successful and satisfying living.  We can continue being positive and productive people by creatively applying the wisdom and freedom we have acquired over many years in our multiple roles in our families and communities.

DIVORCE:

I believe those involved in the divorce process can construct a "good divorce" that will provide for effective parenting, healthy children and positive futures for all involved.  I consult with attorneys, couples and families dealing with the many challenges and changes of divorce and focus on creating the best outcome possible.  I work at identifying the strengths and resources of the divorcing family and at discovering the new possibilities for positive living that can emerge as we navigate through the divorce process.

FAMILY OWNED BUSINESSES:

I provide relationship and family consulting to this unique type of business.  I address the people side of the family business, which is critical to business success over generations.

HEALTHY WEALTH:

Trillions of dollars in accumulated wealth will pass by inheritance to the next generation over the next several decades.  I help families recognize and appreciate their roles as stewards of their family wealth.  I promote the caring, communication, cooperation and responsibility that enable families to be successful stewards of their legacies.  I assist parents and grandparents as they prepare their children and grandchildren for a legacy of healthy wealth.
