what is coaching?

Simply put, coaching helps you to clarify and reach your goals with a heavy dose of growth, self-awareness, and learning along the way. It provides a space for you to bring and work through any challenges you’re facing—whether in your career, personally, or in your relationships.

Working with a coach is an opportunity to slow down and practice bringing your attention inward. It’s for those who want to feel more aligned, centered, empowered, and supported in life.

Coaching may be a great fit for you if you’re:

  • experiencing burnout, overwhelm, or stress

  • struggling with negative self-talk or behaviors

  • having difficulty with communication

  • feeling exhausted, overextended, or lonely

  • having difficulty delegating or managing your team

  • feeling lack of clarity or purpose, feeling stuck

  • wanting support in leveling up your own leadership and coaching skills

  • needing a safe place to bring ideas, issues, concerns

  • desiring a sounding board to work out and play with creative solutions

  • finding yourself at a major transition or decision and would like support

In our coaching work together we will define your goals, in both work and in life, allowing these to guide us. We will partner to explore your strengths and challenges. We also take time to sort through what doesn’t feel right and what doesn’t seem to be working in your current situation. We then forge the path from where you are to where you’d like to be using various coaching tools. A successful coaching engagement will help you feel more fulfilled in life, in your relationship to self, and in your relationships with others. My hope is that, from our work together, you feel more ease in life, and that you feel more connected to your power, your purpose, your community, and to yourself.

Alison has had a profound impact on me, helping me grow into the leader (and person!) I want to be. Alison creates a safe space for me to bring whatever comes up to the conversation, whether that's something related to minutiae of my work day/week or something more broad relating to my personal development and professional goals. I always leave our calls feeling so grateful for the work we do together. To put it simply, Alison has become one of the most impactful people in my life, helping me ask the right questions as I grow and helping me become more peaceful and happy in many elements of my life, from work to personal experiences.
