I offer 30-minute ($45) or 60-minute ($80) sessions via Zoom.

We can schedule sessions at your convenience in the evening (Eastern Standard Time; I live in Virginia, USA) or in the weekend.

Suggested frequency: once a week or every other week. You decide how often or how long you want to meet. You can stop at any time.

The sessions can be conducted in English or in French.

The first session is complimentary. During this first introductory session, we will discuss what coaching is, what your goals are, and what expectations we will both have for our partnership.

Content of sessions: Coaching sessions are a dialogue. I will start by asking you what you want to discuss or explore during the session and what a satisfying result would look like; I will ask you questions based on that goal, and we will see where this dialogue brings us. In my questions, I will take into account your moods and emotions, your internal and external language (what the words you say and think express about how you see yourself and the world), and what your body is telling you. Together, we will work to create a practice that will address what you are trying to change. See the "Resources" page for more information on how Coaching works and Coaching can do for you.

Goal setting: together, we will set clear, realistic, and time-bound goals, and create action plans to achieve them.

Active listening: I will listen to you and your responses with respect. You will have my undivided attention.

Providing accountability: I will help you to be accountable.

Celebrating success: we will recognize and celebrate your achievements.

Support: I will support you. I will not judge you.

Respect: I will respect you. Our coaching relationship will be a relationship of equals.

Setting a good example: I will demonstrate high moral and ethical behavior.

Active participation: you will show up to sessions prepared to discuss your challenges and goals, and will actively participate in the coaching dialogue.

Honesty and openness: you will share relevant information about your situation, including strengths, weaknesses, and challenges without reservation.

Self-awareness: you will reflect on your own behaviors and patterns to identify areas for improvement.

Commitment to action: you will take concrete steps between coaching sessions to implement strategies and work towards your goals.

Accountability: you will take responsibility for your progress and will own the outcomes of your coaching journey.

Positive attitude: you will approach the coaching process with a willingness to learn and grow.

Respectful communication: you will engage in open and respectful dialogue with me.

Language and the Pursuit of Leadership Excellence by Chalmers Brothers and Vinay Kumar
Language and the Pursuit of Leadership Excellence provides an eye-opening organizational blueprint, coupled with powerful, practical tools that leaders at all levels are employing to dramatically improve workplace relationships, shape culture and drive breakthrough results. The authors introduce a startlingly powerful way of understanding language and conversations, as well as the “actual actions” of effective leaders and managers. More importantly, the authors invite leaders to take a new look at themselves, their colleagues and the ways in which certain internal and external conversations open genuinely new opportunities to bring about literally unprecedented results… and the ways in which others shut down creativity, damage relationships, diminish possibilities and cripple effective action.

The Prism with Alexander Love
Alexander Love of Newfield Network presents a model about the fundamental aspects of our being. If we know those models, we can make changes where it matters. He discusses how we have filters that color how we see everything, including ourselves. Myth: the way I see the world is the way it is. If we are aware of those filters, we can change our perspective on the world, other people, and ourselves.

The First Key to Unlocking the Prism with Alexander Love of Newfield Network
The continuation of the Prism video. The first important thing is to look at our observer and how this observer impacts our life and our actions. Often we move through the world, and the world produces a certain reality. If you don’t like that reality, you can decide to change your actions. That's often what we do first. But sometimes, doing so is not enough. So maybe you should try to look at how you look at things. You might think that the way you perceive the world is the way the world is. But that is not the reality, it's just your perspective that could prevent you from changing what you want to change. Maybe what you need to do is to not be stuck on your perspective and choose to modify it. Take a look at how you look, and step back from it. And decide if there is another way you could look at things differently.

The Second Key to Unlocking the Prism with Alexander Love of Newfield Network
The continuation of the Prism video. We should begin to look at how we are interacting with others and the world, and how we show up as a human being. The way we practice being in the world is important: if we practice walking in the world in a small way, that will color the way we interpret the world and our being. Or if we show up as an aggressive person, or a sad person, the world will see us in a different way, and we will experience the world in a different way. So think about it: does the way you move in the world and your body work for you? Is that the message you want to give? Or do you want to practice being in the world and seeing the world in a different way?

The Third Key to Unlocking the Prism with Alexander Love of Newfield Network
The continuation of the Prism video. We should look at how we experience what is real in our environment, and how we can change that environment. We live in a real world that is already there, but once our environment is changed, our external reality is changed, and that can change our internal reality. For example, we build relationships with others, and sometimes we struggle with those relationships. We need to take a look at who is involved in those difficult relationships, what are the patterns in those relationship, how we are perceiving these relationships, and what we assume about them and the people involved. Then, we should try to bring something new into that relationship: another person, another feeling, another action. The dynamics of the relationship will then change, which will change our environment, our reality, our internal and external world.
