If you found this page, you are likely already searching for ways to make change in your life. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed or unmotivated. Many times people search for coaches when they are embarking on new journeys or life transitions, such as taking on a new role or job, beginning, enhancing, or ending a relationship, or pursuing a new personal challenge or hobby.

Coaching provides a safe space to explore, challenge your perspective and plan next steps. You should find a coach with whom you connect and trust to get the most out of your coaching experience.

I’m happy to book an exploration session with anyone who is interested in coaching to see if I am the right coach for you. I have personal experience working in stressful and fast paced industries, workforce development, and career coaching. Most of my direct coaching experience has been centered around helping individuals overcome barriers to employment, overcome workplace challenges, and improve professional and personal relationships.

In addition to being trained as a coach, and continuing my education to become a better coach for my clients, I have a fine arts degree. I enjoy working with creatives, whether they are professional artists, hobbyists, or somewhere inbetween.

In addition to coaching, I spend a lot of time training in martial arts and understand the mental and emotional challenges people face when training. I enjoy using my experience in this area to collaborate with individuals who are also undertaking physically and emotionally challenging pursuits, whether in martial arts, self-defense or sports.

In order to get the benefits of coaching, one must be open and willing to do the work. I recommend giving your friend the information for the website and having them set up an introductory call to see if coaching is right for them.

If it is right for them, we can work with you to set up payment options. Please note, coaching is a private space and confidentiality is taken very seriously. If your friend/family/employee decides to share what they discuss in coaching, that is up to them. As a professional coach, I am unable to share information from client sessions unless required by law or an individual’s safety is reasonably suspected to be at risk.

If you have additional questions regarding third parties in coaching, please reach out.

I’m happy to provide coaching for employees in one-on-one or group sessions. Please note that coaching works best when people feel a sense of trust and can show up authentically. If trust is not present, or severely challenged in your team or organization, we should talk about this and explore options to get the most out of coaching with your team.

For one-on-one coaching with employees, we will require a separate agreement regarding third party rights in coaching.

While I am able to help teams navigate specific training, build training, and provide some additional workforce development support in consultative ways, I am not able to tell your employees what they must do as part of their coaching sessions. Coaching and consultative services are separate and can be used together, but not combined in sessions. Please reach out if you have additional questions.

Coaching, consulting and mentorship are often used interchangeably, but A Curious Soul, LLC views them as very different services.

Consulting provides clients with expert advice. It’s essentially used to quickly solve a problem that a client has. An example could be: A restaurant manager with high food waste, reaches out to a consultant to determine some ways they can fix the problem. The consultant in this situation could then come in with advice and methods to lower food waste.

Mentoring provides clients the opportunity to learn from someone’s direct experience and knowledge. An example could be: A restaurant manager with high food waste reaches out to a mentor who worked or works in the industry to learn how they have managed food waste. The mentor in this situation provides wisdom and knowledge from their experiences to help the manager.

Coaching provides a space for a client to be curious, gain clarity, shift perspective, and plan. An example could be: A restaurant manager with high food waste reaches out to a coach to determine what they should do to fix their issue. The coach in this situation could help the manager understand their current state better, identify what they want their future state to be, and help them identify milestones, obstacles to overcome, while developing a plan based on the manager’s observations, knowledge and understanding of their restaurant.
