What will coaching offer me?
Take a moment to think about what you want to change or do in your life. Do you want to change your job, develop your career, go back to school, or find more personal “me” time? Coaching gives you the clarity and support to accomplish whatever goals you choose.
How does this work?
As your coach, I act as your partner. I focus 100% of my attention on you, support you by listening, help you clarify what is important, act as your champion and hold you accountable – so you “do what you say you want to do.”
Our sessions allow you to talk about what is important, develop your plans and put into action the changes you want to make in your life. I will challenge you take yourself seriously, learn to enjoy yourself more, and keep you focused on what is important to you.
Start today. No matter how small your action, if you start, you’ll feel better about yourself.
Why should I hire a coach?
¯You’ll learn how to set achieveable, valued-based goals. To truly draw you forward, your goals have to be based on what’s important to you – your values. Your coach will help you discover your values, so you can set goals that inspire you.
¯You’ll achieve your goals more quickly. By working with a coach, you’ll become more productive and efficient in all areas of your life.
¯You’ll make fewer mistakes in your business or personal life. Mistakes are expensive – use your coach’s experience and expertise to help avoid them.
¯You’ll make progress in your career and relationships. Your coach will share her unique perspective on your life, helping you understand both your current situation and the way forward.
¯You’ll have fewer – or no – problems in your life. It’s possible to deal with problems more efficiently and even to eliminate problems from your life – ask your coach how.
¯You’ll improve your financial situation. Your coach can help you get a raise, choose a better career or even start a business.
¯You’ll become happier. Your coach will help you with reducing stress and overload, so you can achieve a better balance between work and personal life.
¯You’ll be much more effective and influential in your communication. Your coach will help you communicate more effectively and listen more powerfully.
¯You’ll become much more attractive to others. Your coach will help you develop your personal brand.
¯You’ll create the life you want. Don’t accept your life – design it.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
Coaching goes forward: Coaching focuses on where you are now, what changes you’d like to make in your life, and helps you stay focused on meeting your goals.
Therapy looks back: A therapist usually works with a client to help them process significant emotional blocks, including past experiences which may be affecting the client’s life in the present.
How would I start?
Call me at 919-240-4660 or email me at pat@managingemployees.net to schedule a complimentary 45-minute session.
How often do I receive coaching?
I usually work with you over a period of 3 to 6 months: 3 times a month, in 45-minute sessions.
Are the sessions confidential?
I follow the International Coach Federation Code of Ethics on Confidentiality and Privacy.
I will respect the confidentiality of my client’s information, except as otherwise authorized by my client, or as required by law.
I will obtain agreement with my clients before releasing their names as clients or references or any other client identifying information. I will obtain agreement with the person being coached before releasing information to another person compensating me.

How long do I have to commit to coaching?
Generally, our coaching relationship lasts from 3 to 6 months. You can also choose laser coaching, in which we focus on one short-term goal with the outcome being a specific action plan. A laser coaching arrangement usually lasts a couple of sessions.
During your complimentary session, I will help you determine the best coaching solution for your needs, available time, and budget.
The complimentary session is a great opportunity for you to tell me about your current situation, discuss what you’d like from coaching, and to experience my coaching style. At the end of our session, you can decide if you want to move forward with coaching. We will schedule your regular meetings at that time.
Where does the coaching session happen?
We schedule weekly telephone sessions. You simply call me at our designated time. Telephone coaching gives you great flexibility: you do not have to travel to an on-site meeting, and you can call in from any suitable spot (please choose somewhere that’s quiet and free from interruptions so you can focus on our session).
I also offer unlimited emails in between our coaching sessions so you can tell me about your successes and ask any questions that arise.
Is coaching for everyone?
As long as you are committed to create change in your life, you will gain a lot from coaching. Coaching is about making choices. To truly benefit from coaching you need to be willing to make new choices that bring you greater satisfaction.
