The Co-Creative Relationship

The relationship between a coach and a client is co-creative, meaning that we are equal. I am not a therapist, counselor, or consultant. Zzzs

I am a trained life coach using honed communication skills and life experience to support you as a thinking partner. Together, we create more power for you to effect meaningful change and take dynamic action toward your goals.

Your Role

Please take time before each session to determine what you'd like to take away. This is called the “client agenda”. Please email me your agenda and any background information needed 24 hours prior to each session. Treat our coaching as the valuable investment that it is. Protect your investment by showing up on time and setting an intention to be centered, ready to engage and take meaningful tasks with you to be completed between sessions. Be sure to give me feedback in the moment about your coaching experience, and how I might improve your experience.

My Role 

I will listen closely to you, ask questions and respond to what I hear. If I hear something in your voice or language that sparks intuitive thought, I'm likely to ask you about it. Often it is the small moments that bring about big shifts. If I'm not on target, please me know. I'm not attached to being on target 100% of the time. At the end of the session, if you do not set specific actions you are ready to take, I may make a coaching request to that end. I ask clients to stretch themselves, to deepen the work they've done in sessions by writing, taking action, resolving relationships or addressing things that need attention. You are always free to negotiate, accept or decline. 

Extra Time 

Between sessions, if you have questions, a brief update, or want to bounce some ideas around, please contact me by email. If it seems best, I may suggest a brief phone call or add that as an agenda item for our next session. 

Ways you can get more from your coaching experience. 

Make our coaching sessions a priority, come to every call with a specific agenda, ready to work.

Complete what you agree to do in between sessions and integrate what you learn. 

Be open-minded, try new approaches, experiment.

Be willing to change your beliefs and patterns if they do not serve you anymore. 

Fees

Each program carries a different fee, as do individual sessions. Please contact me for details. I accept all major credit cards, payment in advance, and payment plans are an option. Please budget for this investment as it's a critical opportunity for your and your future. I do not accept late payments. Please make certain funds are available upon agreement to proceed.

Session Procedures  

Please schedule and join our Zoom meetings on time, or call me at 845-518-5508 at our agreed upon time. If you call in for your session and get my voicemail, please call me back after one full minute. Please do not leave a message and wait for me to call you back. I might not receive your message in between clients. If you do not call in within 15 minutes of your scheduled session time, the session will be lost. 

Scheduled Changes, Vacations, and Business Trips. 

We will set mutually agreed upon time for our sessions. Please give our call high priority and arrange your schedule to honor our agreed upon time period. I require a minimum of 24 hours notice to reschedule a call. In any case, if you must miss the call, let me know as soon as you are able.

If something must change temporarily or permanently, I'll offer other times, as, or if available. If you forget a session or do not call in, that session will be counted as a complete session per our agreement. I will consider emergency situations on a case-by-case basis. If you have planned vacations or business trips that will conflict with our sessions, please notify me of these as soon as you have an itinerary and we can discuss when to reschedule. I will do the same with you when I plan trips myself.

First Call Preparation

Prior to your first call, please read and send back any welcome pack documents you receive from me.
