A: We would have a short phone conversation (15 minutes) to briefly get to know each other. There are two important parts of the call. I want to verify that I can help you achieve your desired outcomes. And more importantly, I want you to feel comfortable and make sure there is good reason for us to work together. If it seems like there is a match, we schedule a complimentary exploratory session. In that session we go into greater detail about what you want to achieve or resolve. I then talk about my approach and how it can assist you in your outcomes. At that point, we review an agreement and choose to work together–or choose not to.

If it looks like we can achieve your outcomes, then we discuss fees and move forward. Again, my rates are very reasonable for the value you get.

A: Well the short answer is, I'm not. The service I provide is more than that. "Transition Guide" more accurately describes what I do. When we work together, we create a custom program for you that may or may not include the standard services (life planning, accountability, and goal setting) normally associated with coaching. We take you through a powerful process that will help you peel back the layers of limiting beliefs and then work toward setting realistic and achievable goals to create desired results. While coaching can address some of the 'blocks' that stop people from achieving their dreams, as a Transition Guide I help you with the deeper level personal change that will stand throughout time, even after we stop working together.

A: Coaches do great work. and I know this from experience. They push you to breakthroughs in your life, often with their wonderful structures of goal-setting, life-planning and accountability. Coaches also typically work on a specific area of your life with you. However, pushing you to breakthrough results can actually create internal conflict especially if there is a part of you that isn't ready for these breakthroughs. So what do you do if these internal conflicts arise or surface in other areas of your life?

As a Transition Guide, I have a more holistic view of the whole person, and how what's not working in your life might be affecting your entire being. We create an environment where the changes you choose to make are accepted by all parts of you and your sense of self, thus making change fun, exciting and permanent.

A: A Transition Guide involves the client in a conscious process. They are aware of what is happening and can learn precisely how to shift the structure of their subjective experience. Basically, the client 'learns' and becomes more aware of their surroundings, thus giving the client more positive options.

There is no mystery and no “magic” in what we do. I've used and experienced these processess and they work! If for some reason one approach doesn't produce the results you want, we scrap it and use another. Again, we are focused on your desired outcomes and produce measurable results.

A: If you think about it, ten hours is very little time. I believe that making a minimum 10-hour commitment to yourself is the most effective way to create your desired results. It’s been my experience that there is an underlying or root cause that affects multiple areas of life. When we clear out these root causes, we’re able to make room for faster change and better results.

A: Unfortunately No. I've found that my clients get the most out of my services if it is not a trade. I don't know what it is, but both myself and my clients do not relate or absorb the work in the same way. I want my clients to get the most out of our time together with long-lasting changes.

At some point in the future, I would love to set up a non-profit that would allow my services to reach a wider audience.  I'm just not there yet ;)
