Live Coaching: Your Breakdowns Can Lead to the Breakthroughs Apr 13, 2020

Show notes

In today’s new podcast episode, you’re getting another inside look into what coaching with me is like as I coach one of my clients, Shanna. You’ll first hear us discussing the details of a recent “breakdown” Shanna experienced relating to the effects of COVID-19 on her personal life and family. You’ll be hearing her speak with raw emotion and asking some hard, honest questions, which some of you may be asking yourself, as well.

Later in the episode you will also get to hear a snippet from our FOLLOW-UP session together, during which she shared what a complete 180 she was able to experience. This was after implementing the changes we decided on just less than a week earlier! What’s so astounding, and what I most want listeners to take away from this episode, is that not only do our breakdowns NOT negate our breakTHROUGHS, but sometimes they’re precisely what LEAD to them.

As you’re listening to Shanna being coached and challenged, I hope that you, too, are able to be coached and challenged. As we are navigating this difficult time of grief and crisis, having somebody to push you and walk with you in this way really can make a world of difference in terms of whether you merely “get by” while in this self-quarantine… or you actually thrive.

The Difference Between Coaching and Counseling Mar 09, 2020

Show notes

One of the questions I get asked a lot is, “How is coaching different from counseling?” Because I believe in the value of both while also knowing that the two can oftentimes look so differently - and produce different RESULTS at different RATES - I want to use today’s episode to tackle this question in a way that you won’t find on Google. I’ll be discussing MY personal experiences and philosophies regarding the differences between counseling and coaching, as well as including short testimonials from a couple of my clients on what THEY have experienced regarding the two. This episode will be interesting, insightful, and also hopefully able to help you decide whether coaching may be the right next step for you!
