​Simply put, a coach is someone who supports and encourages you to consistently grow and improve in the area of your life that you choose. Your coach can act as a mentor, a guide, an educator, a resource, but never a critic or disciplinarian. My job as your coach is to listen to you and ask you the questions that will help you arrive at the answers you already know: to help you discover your authentic self and put that to work in all aspects of your life. I may also suggest a resource—a book, a recipe or an exercise—that will clarify or demonstrate for you.
