You will experience the power of having someone absolutely believe in you, your creativity and your resourcefulness. I will hold the vision of you in your full expression and success even when you forget to.
You will be asked lots of questions, the kinds of questions we rarely get asked in our daily lives. This is the hallmark of coaching and the goal is to stimulate your thinking, draw out your creative solutions, tap into your deep knowing and fully explore your vision.
You will get feedback about your strengths, your gifts, your style, and how you operate in the world.
We will clarify the values that are most important to you and harness them in service of your product or business idea.
We will work together to brainstorm ideas, define strategies and set goals that are meaningful.
There will be direct requests for you to take action and challenges to step out of your comfort zone. You will be supported, championed, and celebrated every step of the way toward yor dream.
As your partner in this process I will be fiercely committed to your living from heart, knowing that you have choices, getting absolutely clear about what you want, saying yes to it, staying on track and courageously moving through obstacles as they appear. And of course, launching that product or business idea!
Hear what a couple of past clients had to say
°Over an 8 month period, Marcy coached me through major career events and decisions. She challenged me to listen to my spirit, to use my strengths and skills, and to honor my passions. She also nudged me about keeping my "gremlins" at bay! Our challenging and creative dialogues supported me in expanding and refining my leadership skills and career goals. The resultant energy and clarity is a gift I cherish , and one which I will always work to sustain."
Terry Haugen-Sjostrom, MA, LICSW
former Executive Director of Crisis Connection.
"Coaching was very important to my success as an executive director. It was the first time that I had been a director and my learning curve was very steep. Marcy helped me immensely to identify concerns or problems and then confidently and creatively solve each challenge as it came up. This was very important for the organization because I was able to meet daily needs, stay ahead of the continuous challenges and still think clearly.
