Coaching Philosophy

Do you want to change something? Are you ready to take action? Do you want a structure within which you will succeed?

Positive Psychology Coaching is an active approach to coaching. Based on the approach of Positive Psychology, this coaching uses tools and techniques to draw out from you those actions, thoughts, feelings, and decisions that will make you more successful, more productive, and happier. There are exercises during the coaching sessions and exercises to do between the coaching sessions.

A typical coaching session of about one hour in person or on the phone will include most of these aspects: About You (analyzing self-assessments and recent self-growth), Play (both a game and some physical movement or visualization), Discussion (the meat of the session: goals, specific targets, assessments, direction), Session Wrap-Up (session evaluation and exercises for the week).

My specific areas of focus are:

  • Creating New Habits
  • Becoming More Productive at Work
  • Factors Critical to Improving Job Productivity and Enjoyment
  • Career Assessment and Change

You will get exercises that challenge you - physical, mental, discipline-related exercise. You will get assessments that make you and me understand yourself better. You will be active in creating your new change.

Clients

In general, people for whom this coaching works best are motivated people who want to make a change. Primarily, I work with entrepreneurs who want to get their company to the next level and executives who want to be more successful at work and in life. My clients are often finance and high-tech professionals (I have worked at a hedge fund and at Morgan Stanley Asset Management, and have founded and run three start-ups, full bio here).
