When should you hire a coach?
SHORT ANSWER:
When something needs to change.
More specifically coaching is a great fit when…
It’s time to grow.
You are facing a new challenge, you want to prepare yourself for the next level of leadership or you simply want to expand and enhance your strengths and happiness. You are pretty sure you CAN do it, but you aren’t exactly sure how. And you know you will need help
Happiness feels elusive.
Work and life just feels harder than it needs to be. You have ideas but you are struggling to move from idea to action. Or maybe there’s just too much going on - too many commitments - and you are spread too thin. You aren’t sure how to make the space you need to explore where you want to go.
You are in transition.
You know you don’t want to stay where you are right now. You are either approaching or in the midst of a personal or professional transition. You may know what you want the next step to look like or you may not - you just know you can’t stay here - and you don’t want to. You want to move to happier easier right now, ASAP.
What does a coach do?
SHORT ANSWER:
A coach empowers you to solve your problems, overcome your challenges and achieve success.
More specifically, as a coach I am . . .
A space creator.
Choosing to work with a coach is a gift of time to yourself. You are committing to spend a few hours a month on your development in a way that you never probably have without coaching.
A sounding board.
I listen - really listen - to what you are saying and what you aren’t. You can tell me your craziest career aspirations and your struggles and I’m going to be there to help you untangle them.
A pattern connector.
I identify patterns in your behavior, your stories, your words and even your body language that help shed light on why things are the way they are and how you can change the patterns that need changing.
A supporter.
I consistently encourage you to explore all the possibilities -without judgement. I know you are already good enough and I’m committed to being there to remind you every step of the way.
A curious listener.
I am curious. I ask questions rather than judging or making assumptions and I encourage you to do the same. I don’t tell you what to do, but I do help you find the path forward that is right for you.
On your side.
I’m in your corner. From our very first clarity call, I’m not attached to a particular outcome, I’m only interested in facilitating your success.
But you don’t have to take my word for it, this is what my clients are saying . . .

Joy & Control
I am so grateful that Becky is my coach! She is an outstanding sounding board. Her extraordinarily clear and practical take on life makes the challenges that I face suddenly seem easier to manage. Without telling me what to do, Becky helps me find the best path forward. An hour of Becky’s coaching leaves me with a feeling of joy and control.

Confidence Builder
Becky is one of the best. As an Executive Coach she approaches situations with no judgement and helps you find your own inner superpower. She questions ‘imposter syndrome’ behavior and helps you step into your own light and power. Becky played an integral part in coaching me to finish my book . . and continues to be a phenomenal coach in regards to my overall business.

Better Leadership
Prior to working with Becky, I spent a lot of time trying to emulate those I'd admired, instead of realizing that one "size" doesn't fit all. Becky helped me recognize that leadership is individualized, and by wearing the wrong "size" I was not playing to my strengths and consistently feeling disingenuous to myself. Starting to recognize this, and the science around physical and emotional responses, helped me keep a cooler, more collective line of thought and has helped me feel more comfortable in my own skin, translating to being more effective as a leader.

Bottom Line:
Coaching is about you.
You are highly motivated and highly capable. But something just isn’t working right now. When we work together, I am there for you entirely in every session. I will not judge you, your process or your needs during our work together. You are the expert on yourself and your situation. My job is to partner with you to create space, ask questions, make connections and provide structure that will help YOU find your best path forward. Bring your whole self to our work together and I will protect your privacy and honor your journey.
If you are ready to jump in, this is how it works . . .
Quarterly Coaching
My typical engagement is for a quarter of work - that’s three months or 12 weeks. This engagement is long enough to have an impact on your life. I will support your as you navigate that career transition, find more balance or get a jumpstart on your dreams - all with an eye towards making happiness part of the process. You can expect to realize meaningful growth if you bring your full self to our sessions and put in effort outside the sessions. (Starting at $7500/quarter).
Coaching
We will meet 2-3 times monthly (depending on your schedule and progress) for 1 hour coaching sessions. You can expect this time to feel much like a very thoughtful conversation, but the impact will be greater than you can imagine.
Homework
The work isn’t limited to our time together. I give homework. I don’t give busy-work. The homework I give you will be tailored to you and designed to help you make meaningful progress between sessions
Goal - Setting
Our work together kicks off with a 1.5 hour goal setting session. This is where we take a look at your goals, and set the goals for our work together. We will check in on our progress throughout our three months together using the output of this conversation as our benchmark.
Ongoing Support
Throughout our engagement I will be available by email, text and even voxer to provide ongoing accountability and support.

Short Term Intensive
This engagement is designed for people who need to break out of the mold - and fast. It’s conducted in longer sessions over as little as two weeks. This is great for people who need to make quick decisions about their next steps or need to shore up their next level leadership or capture more happiness asap. We will meet for a total of 7.5-9 hours over 2-4 weeks. The meetings are longer and more intense, but we can cover a lot of ground super quickly (starts at $8,500).
