Who am I?
I am a pastor, spiritual director, and an ICF non-directive coach. I seek to help people find clarity. While I have helped congregants and others through preaching and teaching, I find non-directive coaching an effective means to help individuals create action plans which move them forward and toward their goals.
Non-directive coaching helps clients find focus, determine what they really want, and how they might get there. You are the expert of your life. The coach does not tell you what to do. The coach's role is to help you think through what you really want and create actionable steps to get there. Coaching helps individuals move from where they are to where they want to be.
I can help you understand what you really want, discover "sticking points", see options, create action plans, and move forward. I am an ICF trained and certified coach at the ACC level. Coaching will help you will find clarity, direction, and a plan.
