Nancy’s coaching philosophy
We often notice strengths in others, but have a hard time recognizing them in ourselves. Coaching helps to identify and build on those strengths to discover new possibilities.
The value of coaching
Having been coached, I have experienced the value of moving from simply being aware to acting on situations. Coaching allows you to see progress through a different lens. Thinking about a situation is valuable, and the role of a coach supports the transition from thinking to acting.
As a coach, it is a privilege to support people in their growth, learning and development. An opportunity to learn for my coachee becomes an opportunity to learn for me. It is amazing to witness the transformation in people when they discover their strengths and how to build on them.
