What's your philosophy of coaching?
I subscribe to The International Coaching Federation's guidelines. I believe that every client is creative, resourceful, and whole. Therefore, my responsibility is to create an ongoing partnership in order to discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve. We focus on client-generated solutions and strategies and emphasize awareness, choice, and accountability. Read more about Michael's philosophy here »
What's the coaching process?
First we do a 3 hour foundation session. This discovery and planning session can be done in person or on the phone. A great deal of movement often happens in this first session. Afterward, we work together three times per month to follow through and address issues as they arise.
As well, I ask all my clients for an initial four month commitment. This is because I want to make sure that the positive gains you make in our work together become solidly integrated into your life. Read more about the life coaching experience and benefits here »
I don't live in Southern California—can you still be my coach?
Yes, absolutely. While I do enjoy meeting all my coaching clients at least once in person, in general I work by phone. This makes it possible for me to work with anyone in the world.
