Catalyst Coaching

I am replacing long term coaching with a model I have found to be extremely inspirational and effective, short-term “coaching bursts.”

Just as we speak of desiring a physical “burst of energy,” so a “burst of coaching” has the capacity to inspire and reveal the next step of action toward fulfilling intentions and goals. It also has the power to untangle a small challenge that is holding back focus or progress.

During this energized conversation we dive in and brainstorm the one question, challenge or topic that needs to be addressed in the moment. The process includes co-creating ideas and exploring perspectives that bring clarity, a new way of thinking and perhaps a refreshed way of being.

Catalyst Coaching is for you for if you are looking for one step forward. It is astounding what can be discerned in just one hour without having to commit to more. You decide if and when you would benefit from another “burst” session.

I invite you to experience it!

Pricing:

My fee is a sliding scale model of $100 – $300/hour. $100 is the minimum and it is up to you, the client, how much you choose to add beyond that to support my work. I want this opportunity to be available to as many as possible.

Letter/Message Writing Consulting1

A strength people have commented on is my ability to help rework a letter, message or similar written communication to reflect what the writer truly wants to say.  While not a professional editor, I have the capacity to hear the context, intention, and help consider wording and length. I  listen with objectivity. I am an excellent sounding board and catalyst to assist creating clear content.

Design:

  1. The client sends me a draft of the letter/message, which I review and make notes.2
  2. After I have had a chance to sit with it, we will have an “in person” discussion/dialogue via phone or Zoom to go over my suggestions. At that time, I might also ask clarifying questions. We will engage in a dialogue that helps the client continue to create the message that reflects his/her/their choice of wording.3
  3. Fee: $50 per 30 minutes of “in person” conversation.
  4. A brief agreement will be required that notes the final copy is the full responsibility of the writer/sender.

This is meant for “short” messages to no more than 2-page communications. If there is the desire to work with something longer, we will negotiate a different fee due to the time it takes for me to read and make notes.

1. I do this work to offer thoughtful suggestions and as a sounding board in dialogue with the writer. I do not give legal advice nor bear any responsibility for the final version. It is the sole responsibility of the author of the communication to send what is their individual and final wording.
2. I do not offer this for romantic relationship communication.
3. I do not send suggestions in print. The client takes notes or revises in their own draft as we talk in person.

What Clients Receive:

I am a hybrid coach/consultant.

Clients receive traditional coaching, which is grounded in believing each client is naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. Coaching beautifully facilitates each person discerning best next steps and ways to move toward and reach their goals. It is also possible that an outcome of coaching is a complete redesign of one’s vision and goals based on what the client discovers in the process. It is affirming and it is often life changing in the best of ways.

Having lived decades in multiple roles and continually learning, if there is a way I can meaningfully contribute to the conversation by example, I clearly let the client know I am stepping out of the coaching role into a consulting role.

In addition, I have found that choosing several qualities of what I call “conscious living” not only adds depth to the coaching conversation but is important to the client living in alignment to “being” as much as to “achieving.” I call these metaphorical wells, wells that sustain as well as inspire and frame how we think and live our true selves, connected to our values. Examples of wells are: resilience, not knowing, observation, wonder, perspectives, leadership, courage, etc.

At the conclusion of our sessions together, each client has accessed a wealth of resources, their own and of others, to magnificently move forward in response to their unique calling.
