Questions? I've got answers

What is coaching?

Coaching is clarifying what you want and powerfully moving towards it.  Coaching gives you the space to discover and focus on what you truly want, consider new perspectives, and transform your feeling of being stuck into clarity.  Working with a trained professional using proven techniques, I will help you find the strategy to get where you want to go.

Why does Alex coach?

My path to coaching began when I was selected for a high-potential leadership program at work. After just a few sessions with my own coach, something clicked. I kept thinking, "This is it—this is exactly what I love doing: helping people unlock what they already know but can't quite see yet."

That curiosity led me to the Co-Active Training Institute, where I discovered not just proven methodologies, but a transformational way of being with people. The coaching I received during my training was life-changing—it gave me the clarity and courage to pursue my dream of starting my own business, creating the flexibility I wanted for my growing family while doing work that truly energizes me.

What I love most about coaching is that electric moment when everything shifts for a client—when they suddenly see their situation with fresh eyes or realize they've had the answer all along. That energy exchange between coach and client is unlike anything else. There's nothing more powerful than witnessing someone step into their own wisdom and take action on what truly matters to them.
