How Coaching Works
Coaching empowers you to make positive change, to progress and achieve your potential.
The positive change that enables the most astonishing progress is that which better aligns what you do and how you do it with who you are.
Steps of the coaching process:
1. Define a personal change strategy that focuses on:
• what works instead of what is not working,
• solutions instead of problems,
• strengths instead of weaknesses,
• your unique attributes, talents and passions.
2. Design a plan – to support this strategy, with milestones, feedback loops, systems and structures.
3. Do it, one small step at a time – experiment, gather feedback, reflect, evaluate, adjust your aim, or change destination along the way if it serves you better.
The coach and the client create a sincere partnership that has one objective – helping you to do and be your best.
As a coach, I will:
• create a safe environment in which you can explore and take risks.
• provide support and guide your attention.
• help you to take action and move forward.
• maintain confidentiality at all times.
You do not need to have clear goals to start, as they may evolve during the process. But you do need to have a strong desire for positive change and progress and the willingness to engage fully in the process.

During our first session, I could not face the question, “How will you handle this?” I felt I needed handholding and security. This frustration quickly vanished though. With Elizabeth’s gentle help and authentic tools, I began to listen to what was going on inside of me, what the obstacles were, and how to face my “elephant in the room”. It was a real breakthrough when I realized that this project could be “light”.
Elizabeth’s visualizations and metaphors helped me regain energy and see the larger picture, while remaining grounded, productive and practical.— M.A.G.
The highlight was realizing that what I thought was my dream job wouldn’t meet my work / life philosophy objectives.

The highlight was being energized!

The highlight was defining better criteria to use when deciding about job proposals. I also learned to focus on what I am doing now, not only looking to the future, to create a strategy based on actions. Another highlight was realizing that maybe, after all, I have good intuition about choices!
— Emiliano
Several highlights: the role-reversal exercise to better understand the other person’s perspective; learning how to make it easy for other people to help me; and learning to take baby steps with a method I was not yet comfortable using.
—Stephanie
The homework questions were very useful, as they enabled me to identify more fine-tuned questions that were important to moving forward. Each session gave me some useful, lasting insights about myself.
