Coaching
We Work Together to Achieve Your Goals
Coaching is a partnership and process to support your goals. Together we create a coaching plan, but you are responsible for the results. Throughout the working relationship I will engage you in direct, honest, and purposeful conversations – aligned with your intentions for the coaching program. Honesty, commitment, and mutual respect will lead to observable results. I am committed to listening deeply and providing honest feedback as well as building a trusting and safe relationship for you to explore your areas of focus.
I have coached leaders at the staff level through third tier management. I have coached engineers, business folks, faculty, and students. Coaching is done on a one-on-one basis. Coaching can be done either in person or virtually. Typically we start with a six-month engagement, meeting twice a month for an hour, but that is all negotiable in a contract that is set up in the beginning.
Leadership Coaching:
Leadership comes at all levels of corporations and throughout society. Coaching is a partnership and process to support the continuous development of leaders by addressing specific areas of professional development. As your coach I am a resource and a partner supporting your development as a leader. Some of the coaching topics include:
- Learning the difference between strategic vs. tactical thinking and allocation of time
- Developing and exercising the emotional intelligence required to lead
- Learning and exercising how to have crucial and difficult conversations
- Learning how to make requests and establishing a shared understanding of expectations
- Learning and developing habits of time management and delegation
- Developing your vision as a leader and setting clear objectives to achieve your vision
- Understanding how to develop as a leader using adult development models
Designing Your Life:
It is possible to design the life you want. Many times we react to life and take the paths offered with little thought or intention. While that can occasionally work, your chances are better when you spend the time to outline your ideals and map out the steps to get there. Some coaching topics include:
- Establishing a vision for your life based on your own desires, talents, proclivities, and personality
- Creating a “wheel of life” that helps prioritize how and where you spend your time
- Developing a mission, manifesto, and declarations that help clarify choices
- Establishing practices that keep you faithful to your vision for your life
Achieving Your Goals:
Achieving goals is about becoming very clear about the goals you are trying to achieve and why. How do you establish clear, achievable, and measurable goals? This is an entry level to coaching, intended especially for students. Some coaching topics include:
- Becoming aware of how and when you do your best work, what’s your style?
- Understanding and developing a relationship with the saboteur in yourself
- Establishing ways of keeping yourself accountable and reevaluating goals based on progress
“First, Regina has good communication skills, a pleasant and calm demeanor, and is knowledgeable. Thus I felt very comfortable in the coaching, and this basic “trust” is vital for effective coaching. Regina also led me through a series of questions and allowed me to draw my own conclusions, rather than “lecturing” me. Finally, in response to various situations she came up with creative solutions that actually helped me achieve my goals.”
“Regina is very effective at motivating and challenging the individual. She also provided a really wonderful spiritual perspective that I feel is somewhat unique. She clearly has a lot of knowledge and offered a wide variety of both technical and emotional tools. I was impressed that Regina and I were very different in terms of jobs, skills, personality styles, etc. yet she was so effective at working with me.”
“Regina’s coaching was tremendously valuable to me in preparing for the manager role, and conducting a smooth transition both for myself and my new staff. Additionally, Regina equipped me with some extremely valuable tools for continued use in self-discernment and awareness, and providing leadership models to others.”
