Choosing to Focus on What is Productive and Energizing

We use current situations as case studies to focus on skill development, but our work transcends any one scenario. We build new muscles and lasting skills that will lead to skillful responses to similar circumstances in the future.

My work is grounded in the establishment of trust and credibility, which creates a safe work environment for us. Within that environment, we discuss challenges and obstacles. We identify which of those challenges lie within your circle of control (oftentimes, a lot of them do); from there, we identify specific steps to capitalize on opportunities to create positive outcomes.

I support my clients by challenging them. Isolation and conflict avoidance are ways to prevent being challenged. But in a safe environment, we can notice how these coping strategies add to your burden, and then choose differently. You will develop the skills that enable you to intentionally choose to focus on what is productive, and intentionally choose to turn away from what is destructive and self-defeating. You will learn how, and then we will drill it.

Areas of Focus

Exploring Inconsistency

I focus on the details of your narrative and highlight inconsistencies between what you say you want, and what you do; between your priorities and the choices you make.

Then we work to align your actions with your intentions. This is done in a non-judgmental, supportive way that creates powerful insights that help us identify steps you can take to influence different outcomes.

Developing Emotional Intelligence

I help people develop and practice the skills they need to master their words and their actions, which bolsters positive relationships and successful outcomes.

I teach simple but powerful emotion regulation practices. These new skills enable you to respond effectively to potentially derailing situations.

Establishing Real Confidence

Together, we will focus on building consistency in being genuinely yourself.

Regardless of the situation you are in, or the people in the room, you will show up the same way, without posturing or strategizing. We develop and reinforce these demanding skills through situational practice. It can be surprising to learn the deep impact this has – once you start to develop this skill, the benefits snowball quickly.
