What's Your Coaching Philosophy, Sheri?
My basic coaching philosophy is two-fold: “It all begins with our thoughts and beliefs” and “Without courageous action (even baby steps), we won’t move forward.” Success smiles on those who are curious, committed, and courageous! What limited, outdated, unhelpful programming do you need to update so you feel empowered to custom-design the life you REALLY want? Do you have a vision for your Future Self? Have you identified your superpowers? If not, let’s start there! Your self-identity is EVERYTHING.
As coaching guru Tony Robbins noted, nothing makes us feel more alive than experiencing growth and expanding our personal power.
To discover if you’re ready for coaching, schedule your complimentary consult with me. You’ll share where you are, where you want to be, and what you think is stalling you. You’ll confirm that you’re ready to commit your time, energy, and budget. Coaching may sound scary. But to quote Nike, if you want change, you have to decide to “Just do it.” You have to take that first scary step to step into your power!
What's The Value of Our Coaching Together, Sheri?
Coaching is part science, part psychology, and a wondrous dash of the mysterious. I’ll serve as your mirror, guide, butt-kicker, and thinking partner. You may not yet appreciate the GIFT of partnering with a coach who is 100% committed to YOUR growth and success. I have only three requirements: Be willing to open your mind, be willing to deeply look at yourself and your life, and commit to taking action. Do the work and you’ll change in the areas you’re working on, if not transform your entire life. And bring a sense of humor, because I’ll certainly be bringing mine!
NOTE: If you feel stuck in emotional wounds, trauma, phobias, or depression, please first partner with a qualified, experienced therapist. BetterHelp is one option.
The goal of coaching is consistent, forward action. Coaching naturally uncovers unhealed hurt, but we won’t park there. You can simultaneously partner with a therapist and life coach. But we will maintain the confidentiality of each space, unless you choose to share issues in both.
Do You Only Coach Privately?
No. I coach privately, and with several online coaching companies. BetterUp, a world-class, global coaching platform that embraces the “whole person” perspective, is one of them. BetterUp offers limited coaching plans, at a reduced cost, to invite everyone into the opportunity of changing their lives via coaching. If you’d like me to be your BetterUp coach, please let me know before you join the platform.
When you coach with me privately, I can offer you a fully customized package, at my normal coaching rates, catering to your calendar, learning/engagement style, and desired outcome/s. To see real change in your life, you’ll need to consider investing 3-12 months with me. Packages start at $1k/mo.
Schedule your complimentary Zoom consult and let’s chat about what you want and need in your customized package to get you results!
Are You Certified in Coaching, Sheri?
You betcha! I hold an ACC (Associate Certified Coach) credential with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). In 2025 I will complete the ICF’s 500-hour coaching requirement and up-level to the PCC (Professional Certified Coach) credential. I previously completed coaching programs with BetterUp, Virtual Coach, and Positive Intelligence®. I am always growing my coaching skills.
Do You Coach From a Spiritual Perspective?
I am a coach who happens to be a Christian. I share my values where invited, but I honor the spiritual beliefs and practices of my clients, just as they honor mine.
Can You Help Me Stay on Target?
Yes. We’ll use SMART goals, your personal “Why,” and self-audit and accountability tools to keep you focused on forward movement. We’ll create a clear, compelling vision of your Future Self to get there.
Does Your Coaching Support Any Causes, Sheri?
Yes! Through coaching, I am able to financially support two of my favorite charities, Charity Water and Mercy Ships, a non-profit organization that operates two hospital ships providing free, corrective life-changing surgeries to the poor in Africa. These children and adults, previously shunned by family and community because of cleft lips, bowed legs, disfiguring tumors, and bleeding disorders, gain acceptance and the opportunity to build BIG, flourishing lives. YAY!!
