your work?

discussion of my philosophy.
Who typically hires you?
I work with men and women, individuals and organizations from many
industries. The common thread between all of my clients is their
desire to design and implement transitions in their business and
personal relationships. My clients seek to promote their individuality
and authenticities to support increased personal or organizational
performance, productivity and profitability. Individual clients
include entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals, middle managers,
senior executives, coaches and parents. Corporate clients include
start-ups, small and middle market businesses. I address issues
facing the enterprise (e.g. substantive, operational and process
matters), individual employees, teams and work groups.
In Transformational Coaching and Consulting the distinction between
business and personal issues often dissolves as you embrace your
own authenticity and alignment in purpose and in business evolves.
What are some areas where you work?
The areas in which I work are determined by the client’s specific
situation. Each engagement is tailored to the client’s particular
circumstances and the dynamics of the client’s environment
and desires. In my practice I deal with business and life concerns
that include:

Do you work on business, professional
and personal matters?
Yes, clients frequently shift from one area to another during our
work as the change process begins to unfold. Clients typically address
business issues at the beginning of our work. We often start on
a substantive concern (e.g., business development, career management,
career change, management or leadership skills, cash flow, etc.)
or a human dynamic issue that is impacting the business (e.g., dysfunctional
environment, communications issues, etc.). Most workplace issues
touch upon human personal capacities and inter-personal skills.
The strategies and solutions we identify to actualize potential
will transform personal capacities vital to responsible relationships
in all aspects of business and life. Individual concerns for broader
personal issues such as workplace and life balance, individual fulfillment
and effective partnering often surface as our work progresses and
changes in the workplace begin to materialize.
My clients seek to make changes that will allow them to flourish
in their jobs as their authentic selves, enhance collaboration and
create opportunities for high impact performance and financial gain.
As we focus on seeking the just balance in each situation between
personal authenticities and desires and competing business, social
and economic realities, the impact is realized in all aspects of
life.
Why does your practice
work?
The success I have enjoyed is reflected in my clients’ transitions.
The achievements of my coaching-consulting-advocacy interplay are
based on my living philosophy and supported by my demonstrated skills
and wisdoms. The IRAP Way™
has become a proven path to follow to achieve meaningful transition
and personal and organizational growth and development.
Client success appears from what evolves organically between us
in the work. An action agenda and accountability serve to move clients
forward. My clients are focused and attentive to transforming their
consciousness and taking heart-felt actions grounded in living thinking.
As they develop their Human Personal and Social Capacities responsible
relationships appear and achievements come into being. Click

Can I work with you on a
short-term or special project?
Yes. My work is designed to identify your issues and create and
implement an action agenda to assist you to Actualize your Potential-
to make the transition or change you desire, to fulfill your goals.
While I do not work on a one-call basis, short term or special projects
are often the beginning of our relationship. I require that clients
commit to and schedule monthly, in advance. The work is about your
achievements, and the appropriate term will manifest as the work
moves ahead.
What is your privacy policy?
I have a strict policy of confidentiality designed to protect your
privacy. All communications and information we share are absolutely
private and not disclosed to anyone. I honor and uphold the ICF
Standards of Ethics. There are engagements where I will be retained
by an employer to work with an employee. In these situations all
communications are private unless the parties’ permission
to discuss specified issues is granted at the outset of the engagement.
In the event we work in an advocacy context, our communications
will also be confidential and may be also be privileged under the
attorney – client privilege.
I do not and will not share, sell or rent any information of a
client, a teleclass student or subscriber to The Responsible Wisdom
E-Zine.
What does it cost to work with you?
The costs vary depending on the nature of the project. For all new
potential clients I offer a complimentary 30 minute consultation
structured as an actual coaching or consulting session. In this
fashion we experience each other, our styles and our fit. Click
here to schedule a complimentary session.
My coaching typically is held in sessions of 30 – 50 minutes,
in person or by telephone. I require that each client commits to
each month in advance.
Consulting is billed hourly and the work is often done at the client’s
site, my office and on the telephone. Engagements for businesses
often entail group presentations, a consulting process, individual,
team and group coaching sessions and some component of management
reporting. These engagements vary in duration and fees are determined
on a project specific basis.
Formal advocacy – legal representation is billed hourly.
I offer unlimited email support to all clients.
