Below are samples from work with actual clients.
SAMPLE #1
Client's Purpose: "get moving with my chosen new career"
Comment: Without realizing it, this client organized herself around keeping things safe, contained and unchanging, thus deterring the career move. This theme was reflected in body stance, thoughts, and relationships.
Coaching Program Outcomes: The client expanded her ability to notice, acknowledge and accept range, variation and unpredictability in her everyday life, which was like practice in preparing for the bigger changes of her career move. There were many shifts for this client - her body posture opened up, she began to have more powerful conversations with family, and she got the ball rolling for her career change.
SAMPLE #2:
Client's purpose: "improve my work relationships"
Comment: This client's tremendous enthusiam, passion and energy unintentionally tended to overwhelm and and distance others, thus inhibiting the very collaboration he wanted.
Coaching Program Outcomes: The client learned to communicate in a way that strengthened work relationships, fostering mutual support for ideas, goals and actions. He was able to listen for others' intent, meaning and emotion; create openings in relationship, and physically modulate the intensity of his personal energy.
SAMPLE #3:
Client's purpose: "express more of myself in my work as a coach"
Comment: Skills in action and implementation had brought this client much career success, but at personal cost. Without discarding this skillset, she needed to bring herself back into her own life.
Coaching Program Outcomes: This client settled into herself beautifully by gradually learning to attend to her inner world and bring it into her outer world. She also devoted more time and attention to self-care and made more frequent requests of others to support this. As she felt more at ease, she found that her pace naturally shifted, allowing for more observation and skillful timing in her actions.
