words that work

Conflict Coaching

My Coaching supports you to:

• Communicate, with yourself and others, in a way that facilitates connection
• Create outcomes that matter to you
• Enhance your capacity to work out challenging situations through communication

The scope of Coaching ranges from:

• Preparing for one particular conversation (giving and receiving hard-to-hear feedback, addressing unwanted behavior, asking for what is important to you)
• To resolving a broader issue requiring communication skills (developing capacity for effective communication with a coworker or family member)
• To a longer term process of transforming how you relate to yourself and others (learning how to learn).

Coaching deals with current real life situations and also has a learning component that leaves you better prepared for future challenges. Coaching is different from psychotherapy, and is designed to help you, as a client, improve your learning and performance, and enhance your quality of life.

My Approach to Coaching

Nonviolent Communication

My coaching is founded on Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and involves the principle of empathic connection, advances the concept of universal needs and intrinsic motivation, and honors the interconnected nature of life.

Connection

Creating connection with self and others is at the core of meaningful success; I facilitate your connection with inner wisdom, purpose, values and needs, and offer support in how to communicate authentically while staying in touch with that inner connection.

Focus of Attention

What you give energy to will expand, so you and I will focus more attention on your goals and on what works than on what you don’t want or what is problematic.

Learning through Practice

Through using real-life situations, I will help you determine what you want to achieve and distinguish different scenarios for reaching your goals, and then look at the results of your actions as feedback for learning.
