My professional membership of the ICF (International Coaching Federation) gives me the ongoing professional development and pathways to advanced certifications that I need, to offer you outstanding Corporate and Life Coaching services. Similarly my membership of the RCA (Retirement Coaches Association) in Anne Arbor, Michigan does the same for the Retirement Coaching arm of my business. I attended the 60 hour ICF Transformative Coach training run by the Coach Masters Academy and certified as a Transformational Coach.

​

• My ability to engage with, and relate to managers from mid to senior levels across multiple sectors, is why I thrive on offering Corporate Coaching services. I work with managers dealing with opportunities and challenges at work or those aspiring to advance their careers with their current employers or elsewhere, or those contemplating a complete change in career direction. Transformational coaching guides the client through a process of targeted questioning that leads to greater clarity over what the real issues are, and supports the client in uncovering new learnings and setting the next steps for themselves. This coaching style is based on the assumption that the client is the master of their own content and that they already have all the knowledge within themselves that will allow them to make the changes they seek. The transformational coach guides them through the process of uncovering that knowledge and new learnings and to apply them.

• Working as a Life coach with people wanting to reinvent their lives mid career, those returning to the workforce at any age after an extended break, new entrants to the workforce, or those dealing with minor or major changes in their personal lives.

• As people approach retirement, most focus only on the financial aspects of retirement (financial or retirement planning). However, very few people in the 40+ age bracket have given any consideration to the massive lifestyle changes they will undergo as they transition into retirement. Retirement is considered to be one of the top 10 stressors to be faced in the lives of the majority of people. Retirement coaching is a very new field and is gaining traction in the USA. Not to be confused with Retirement or Financial Planning, I have experienced first hand the struggle many retirees are facing socially in their retirement even when they are financially very well off. As a retirement coach, I work with clients as they develop (non-financial) lifestyle plans for themselves as they transition effectively into retirement. I am a member of the Retirement Coaches Association located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.
