How I coach:

I have one primary goal: Work with you to find out what is holding you back. That's it. If we identify what is holding you back, then we can brainstorm solutions and experiment with different approaches until you get the results that you want to get. I use proven coaching principles, techniques and skills to help you receive the benefits of my one primary goal, but all of my techniques, skills and assessments are merely tools to help you identify and overcome the things that preventing you from moving forward towards your goal.

My coaching is future-directed and action oriented to help you get results. We don't delve into past issues, your past experiences or personality traits. We work together to help you move forward. I coach in English or Afrikaans.

As your coach, I report and reflect back to you what I see. In many instances in our lives we cannot see our blind spots. Everyone else sees them and some people resort to gossiping about them, but we don't see them. This is why I work with my coach to reflect back the obvious to me. I do the same for my clients. If you are struggling with a challenge, then talk to me. Perhaps your road is blocked by a boulder that is obvious to everyone around you, but that you cannot see because you are standing in it's shadow. I won't hide your blind spot from you. I will report and reflect back to you what I experience and see, which allows you do decide what you want to do with this knowledge.

What I won't do for you:

1. I will not read Winnie the Pooh stories or quote children poems to you. (If you think I am joking - there are coaches doing this). If you are looking to discuss the language in Dr. Seuss stories with your coach, then I am not the right coach for you. 

2. I can't help you with spiritual questions and won't take your money under the guise of spiritual coaching.

3. Flog you to death with disingenuous questions aka. "How does that make you feel?" and "What keeps you up at night?". If you want to know the answers to these questions then take ten minutes of quiet time to think about the answers, and save yourself money as well as my time.

4. Tell you what you need to do. I can advise you on paths that I have traveled and will offer advice as appropriate. You choose what you need to do and which actions are appropriate for you. I don't insist or tell you what to do. We work together and discuss options, alternatives and concerns. You choose which actions you decide to take and the paths to travel on.

5. Be a "yes" man. We work together as partners for our mutual benefit.
    

Options for Personal and Professional Coaching

I work with clients using one of the options below.

Option #1 -The Classic Coaching Model. We meet on the telephone three times a month, for 45 minutes each time and work together on your challenges and talk through decisions that improve your personal performance. You pay before the beginning of each month and we have scheduled times on our calendars to meet. We have minimal communication outside of our coaching calls. Option #1 fee is $350 for one month.

Option #2 - The Coaching and Accountability Model. This includes everything from option #1, and one additional 30-minute call per month to discuss your progress towards your goals. Some people appreciate the support that being accountable to someone else brings. You are more focused on completing tasks, and stretching yourself if you know that I am going to call at our scheduled time, and ask for a status on your tasks. We determine the level of accountability that works for you. You choose if you would just like a reminder about the tasks that you have committed to or if you want a verbal grilling and be called on the carpet for lack of progress. I respect your choice and partner with you to implement the accountability level that works for you. This requires a two month commitment from you so that you have enough time to clearly see the benefits of our partnership. You pay the full fee before we begin working together. Option #2 fee is $600  per two month period.

Option #3 - Join my mentor program. Here are the details of my mentor program.
