If you’re looking at this, you’ve probably got an aspiration (a calling to you) that you’re likely keeping hidden, even to yourself. And that want of yours, it ain’t going away.
Over the years of working with people, I’ve found, it’s how we belong that allows us to bring our aspirations out of the shadows of our minds, and then, to fully bring them into existence. It’s where our inner voice gets an, “I’m enough” belief. And that’s a mix of belonging with yourself, and, with the people you choose, who also choose you. So that’s where we’ll start, creating a space for you and me to belong, where you get to unhide yourself.
Like, right now, say what you really want, what really matters to you. Out loud. Right now.
If you’re curious and seeking that, I’m happy to do this with you:
We’ll meet and make a space where you and I can belong, and talk. Our shared purpose is dedicated to what matters to you, where you’re fully enough to make it happen. We’ll be two lives working on one, yours. We’ll chat about everything from your personal to business life. After all, you’re the same person in each space. I'll serve as your second heart and sets of eyes & ears, in support and challenge to move you upward, into achieving what you really, really want.
I’ll step into that space with you, under this full assumption about you:
You have everything you need in you, to get with everyone you need, to get what you need, to change the world as only you can.
In short, we’ll make-sh!#-up (MSU) just for you, to get you moving towards your promised land, that place where you’re with who you love & belong, and loving everything you’re doing. And you can’t imagine a better life!
I will always approach our work together from a vulnerable and kind honesty, and a deep curious appreciation of you in your current capacity and your potential. Know this though, I will call you out when you're letting your fears stop, instead of guide you. I will ask the questions and say the things that your peers, friends, business partners, subordinates, etc… won't. We will go to the places, together, where you need to be, to get you into your higher game.
Here’s what we’ll do to find out if we belong together.
After we’ve been referred to each other, or, introduced by serendipity,
We’ll choose a time that works best for both of us to do a 90-minute up to 2-hour coaching experience. During our time together, we’ll find out what it's like for you to work with me as your coach, and for me, what it's like to go with you and to really get you, as you pursue your promised land.
If we find that we belong and really want to work together. Each of our inner voices saying, f*%k yeah, let’s do this! We’ll get our agreement in place and set a start time. If we’re still not quite sure after this first session, we can give it another session or two, provided we both agree.
For our agreement, you’ll have to figure this out. This is your investment in you. What would it take to get and keep your full attention, and commitment, to get you to where you deeply want to go? To make what you so badly aspire for, happen? For as long as it takes you in time, effort, money, and focus? And we may even use a second session to figure that out.
Now, we might also discover that you only needed the one session to move you past what’s blocking you and get you back into and elevate your game. If that’s the case, and you’re not interested in further work, I’ll consider myself lucky to have met and coached you. It’s my gift to you, there’ll be no charge.
We’ll make that up too. Logistically, you’ll choose how often we’ll meet, 1 - 4 times per month, of 1-2 hours sessions each, done in person or over Zoom, and with as-needed phone, texting, and Zoom check-ins. If you’re local to the Seattle area, we’ll even do quick meets for coffee. You may want single or multiple-day intensives, on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly cadence. That’ll be up to you and we’ll figure all this out together.
When I get asked what would our coaching together might look like, here’s my answer.
We’re gonna talk, laugh, cry, figure, aspire, challenge, design, reflect, clarify, practice, measure, fail, and celebrate in a space where you’re enough and belong, and suited just for you. It’s going to be scary, exhilarating, stressful, comforting, and surprising, as you do things you wouldn’t do before.
Over the last seven years, as a certified coach, and in the 20+ before that, that’s what’s happened. And, I don’t see that rather joyous pattern changing much.
The approaches we’ll create and use together:
will be drawn from your life experiences, values, and strengths
will be drawn from your fears
will be drawn from your aspirations
will be created in the space of our belonging, and your belonging, self & with others
and will be steeped in the social/behavioral and neurosciences, and adhere to the ICF professional coaching guidelines.
And, for your financial considerations, my fees for our work together begin at $7200 per year (for 2, 1-2 hr. or 4, 1hr. sessions per mo. plus the as-wanted check-ins as described above), and go up to $80k plus per year, for more frequent sessions, intensives, and offsites. We can figure something out, for the two of us, that works for you.
