“I have ceased to question stars and books. I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me.” – Herman Hesse (prologue to Demian)

Without a doubt, one of the most powerful tools to maximize your potential to produce better results is coaching. A client may initially hire a coach to reach a professional goal or they may be looking to make a personal lifestyle change. We live in a fast-paced world with a myriad of changes happening beyond one’s control. However, taking a leap of faith into exploring your own potential puts you in control with more confidence. You already are! Awakening to meet your potential is an invitation to make room for who you are to flow into expression.

The coaching profession is growing. Fortune 500 companies and small businesses hire coaches to improve leadership development and their bottom line. Men and women who are reinventing themselves invest in coaching to get on the right track to their new direction. These investments create more certainty and help relieve stress.

There are differences of opinions about whether a coach should be experienced in the field of the client. As a coach, it is my job to raise your awareness to your potential. To do that I do not need to be familiar with your expertise. The coach coaches to the client’s potential - not their performance. The client is responsible for their performance.
