Expectations
If I decide to work with you, what can I expect from you, and what will you expect from me?
Good question.
You can expect I will:
► Nurture your self-confidence and creativity
► Respond honestly to your questions
► Maintain your confidentiality
► Contact you if I need to reschedule an appointment
As the expert about yourself, I expect you will:
► Do the action steps you set for yourself
► Report on your progress
► Think for yourself
► Contact me when you need to reschedule an appointment
Experience
What prepared you to be a coach?
For over 20 years, I guided employees and all levels of managers on ways to resolve workplace problems at an Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
I owned and operated a successful retail store at Mall of America in Bloomington, MN.
Tell me something about your approach.
Fostering independence in others is always one of my goals. That was my focus as the director of a prevocational program for adults who have a chronic mental illness.
Think for yourself! A concept I emphasize whether people are adults who are new immigrants to the USA, or high school students in a Junior Achievement Career Success Program®.
Think for yourself! Applies to dancers and actors, on and off the stage.
What other experience helped you to hone your skills?
I am a co-author of the catalog, Tools, Equipment & Machinery Adapted for the Vocational Education & Employment of Handicapped People. This catalog, geared for vocational educators, shows a variety of useful tool adaptations to use in the classroom, worksites or at home.
After my mother passed away in 2007, I formed an informal grief support group, Tea and Kaddish.
