SheChanges: Philosophy

Philosophy

The following principles guide my work as a consultant, coach, workshop presenter and retreat facilitator:

A high degree of participation and involvement by the people experiencing the change will result in an outcome that is positive, supported and sustainable. To this end, wherever possible, I build in opportunities to participate in and learn from the process.
My job is to work myself out of a job, not create a dependency on me. I believe in healthy and supportive relationships, not co-dependent ones. In the process of working with my clients, I continually seek ways to transfer learning (processes, skills, techniques and models), while tapping into and leveraging the instincts and natural skills and abilities of my client.
I believe in learning and growth. A willingness to be curious and open to new possibilities is at the core of my client relationships. In this context, I view change as an opportunity to define new horizons and transition as a process of renewal that enables sustainable change take hold.
Candor. Active engagement. Intentionality. Choice. These are the four cornerstones of my practice. I ask that clients: be clear and committed to their choice to invest; be in and with the process at all times; and be honest and forthright with me as your partner (either as a consultant or a coach).
