COACHING + STRATEGY

My Coaching Philosophy: Part Coach, Part Strategist

As your coach, my goal is to empower you with the encouragement, knowledge, tools, and resources needed to excel as a confident and skilled leader. My coaching philosophy is deeply rooted in my core values of integrity, honesty, and trust. I will meet you where you are and guide you toward achieving your immediate goals. Beyond the traditional coaching relationship, I will also serve as your strategist, advisor, and consultant.

My Approach: Short-term, Solution-focused Coaching

Success means you are implementing the strategies we discuss and actively advancing your goals.

Who You Are:

You are action-oriented, self-aware, and self-managed. You are willing and able to implement the strategies we align on and are open to being held accountable for taking action.

My Promise to You:

The coaching process is not an easy solution; it requires dedication, effort, and a commitment to growth. Together, we will navigate challenges, celebrate successes, and work diligently to transform your leadership journey. You can trust that I will be there to support, motivate, and guide you every step of the way.

 

 

YOUR COACHING JOURNEY

Initial Strategy Session

Our first session will be 90 minutes where I’ll learn more about you, your work, and your goals. We will work together to establish between 1-3 specific goals you will work on over the course of the 3-month engagement. You will receive a one page action plan that will serve as the guide for our coaching sessions.

Month 1 - Implementation

In month one we will meet two times for 60 minutes each via Zoom. In our session we will address challenges, strategies, best practices, self-care, and ensure you are on track to accomplish the goals set in your initial strategy session. We will also pause to celebrate the progress you are making!

Month - 2 Plan Check-in

In month two we will meet twice for 60 minutes each via Zoom and do a mid-program check in to assess progress towards goals and address any challenges or setbacks. We will make adjustments to the plan as needed and identify pathways for continuing to move towards accomplishing your goals.

Month #3 - Celebrations & Next Steps

Month three we will meet two times for 60 minutes each via Zoom. In our session we will discuss outcomes from the past three months and develop a go forward plan to provide you with directions on how to keep the momentum you gained from the program going. We will also pause to celebrate the progress you have made!

Summer’s direct, yet compassionate style of coaching has led me to great discoveries about my potential as a leader. She has a unique ability to guide the self-discovery process through thoughtful questioning and full-body listening, which in my experience, sets her apart from many of her counterparts. If you desire a coach who is supportive, encouraging, and professionally equipped, Summer is the right one for you!
