My Integrated Approach to Coaching
Mindset Skills + Tools and Strategies = Lasting CHANGE
I combine organizational strategy with the development of five critical mindset skills that unlock the potential to find and embrace the tools that work best for each client. Why? Because challenges with executive function create daily struggles with organization, memory, and self-worth. Real change requires shifting your mindset alongside learning new tools. Without this, shame and self-criticism can block our ability to absorb and apply new techniques effectively. Together we will develop:
Self-Awareness (Mindfulness) - Honest assessment of what's happening in the present moment—seeing what you're doing and how you're thinking and feeling about it.
Self-Acceptance - You're different and that's okay. You're not broken—you just need support managing stress while leveraging your strengths.
Curiosity - Becoming your own investigator. Identifying the specific conditions that help you be your best self, so you can replicate success.
Resilience - Developing the mindset to reflect and regroup when things get challenging again—because they will. We learn to find value in setbacks and failures.
Celebration! - It’s easy to forget to celebrate growth when we’re battling through things we, our schools, and the world think we “should” be able to do. But this is critical, and scientifically understood, to be part of supporting the process.
These mindset skills create the foundation that allows organizational systems to actually stick, AND the ability to devise new, effective approaches over the long haul. Because life doesn’t stop at the end of coaching.. It just keeps coming. See video below for a deeper dive. (*)
The 5 Mindset Skills and How They Work with Coaching
(*) Important Note: I am not a therapist. While my approach includes emotional well-being through positive mindsets, serious challenges rooted in trauma, severe depression, or anxiety may require professional therapy. Coaching can complement therapeutic work, and I collaborate with therapists when appropriate and approved by my clients.
