The primary difference between a coach and a certified coach is in the formal training and validation of skills. A "coach" is anyone who provides guidance and support, often based on personal experience or informal training; However, a certified coach has completed a structured training program and earned a certification from a recognized accredited organization. This certification process involves rigorous education, practical experience, and adherence to ethical standards, learning and deploying specific therapy and transformation techniques ensuring that certified coaches have a verified level of competence and professionalism.

As a certified coach, I can offer you significant benefits that will help you achieve your goals more effectively. First, I provide enhanced accountability and goal achievement by helping you set clear, actionable goals and holding you accountable for reaching them. This fosters discipline and ensures consistent progress. Second, I help increase your self-awareness and confidence by challenging limiting beliefs and supporting your personal growth, enabling you to make conscious decisions and leverage your strengths. Lastly, I offer personalized guidance and support tailored to your unique needs, providing insights, feedback, and encouragement to help you overcome obstacles and achieve success.

To determine which of my coaching programs is right for you, consider your primary goals and current challenges.

Mindset coaching focuses on developing a growth mindset, improving motivation, and reversing irrational thoughts that cause endless cycles of self-sabotage, self-doubt, and anxiety.

Emotional intelligence coaching enhances self-awareness and interpersonal skills while equipping you to manage your emotions and reactions in a more positive and healthy way.

Executive coaching is tailored for people who are focused on self-development, career advancement, which range from new college graduates or people entering the workforce to C-suite leaders aiming to boost their leadership abilities and organizational impact.

Business coaching is ideal for entrepreneurs and solopreneurs looking to start a business, drive company growth, improve strategic planning, or need guidance while managing themselves, teams, and daily operations for sustainability and efficiency.

People from all walks of life can benefit from coaching, but it tends to resonate best with people who aspire to improve their lives or reach a higher level of personal success, those feeling some sort of tension in their careers or lives.

My clients who get the most out of coaching tell me they're often looking for 4 things:

• A dedicated time and space to focus on some important career issues

• An expert perspective and guidance on blind spots or the inability to move forward or to progress in their career, life, or business

• Someone who cares and will hold them accountable to making progress

• Someone who can be fully objective and non-judgmental when discussing topics

Majority of my clients prefer virtual sessions, which is more flexible for them. My programs start with gathering a snapshot of your current situation, current challenges, and where you want to go. We'll identify clarify your purpose, values, ambitions, and goals. We'll also work to identify key barriers in your life, common frustrations, and areas where you tend to get "stuck". At the end of each session, we will walk through next steps, actions, and homework to keep you moving forward between sessions. Sessions are 60 minutes. All information is kept 100% confidential, which you will receive a confidentiality agreement in your welcome packet. At the end of your program, we will recap progress and identify how you can best leverage what you've learned as you move onward in life or if you're a candidate for additional coaching or other programs that I offer. For example, most of my clients who enroll in the Mastering Your Mindset coaching program enroll into phase II, which is Mastering Your Emotions coaching program. As your partner in this journey, I'll equip you with an action plan and the tools you need to continue living a purpose-driven life.

My approach to my coaching is from both life experience, having successfully overcome many obstacles and breaking generational cycles and patterns that I've faced, informed by moments of reinvention in my own life, mentoring and advocating for others, my professional corporate background, and specific certifications that qualify me to help transform lives and businesses.

Additionally, I've been privately consulting others and organizations large and small since 2010. In addition to life and business coaching, I hold my MBA and a Bachelor of Science degree in Entrepreneurship with a major in Marketing, and provide expertise in branding and marketing yourself and your business to others. Many of the tools and frameworks I've used for defining and launching several of my own businesses are also used to brand or rebrand yours. I know what works and have failed enough to know what doesn't.
