Why talk to a coach and not your friend?

How Coaching Goes Beyond Friendly Advice

​I completely understand the instinct to talk to friends when thinking about career moves — they care about you and want to help. What I offer as your coach is something different: a professional, structured partnership focused solely on your growth.

• I'm not trying to balance our friendship with 'home truths' or my opinions of you. 
• I'm not invested in any way that may mean I am biased.
• I'm not going to allow you to procrastinate and have the same conversation in a month, six months or a year.​

Unlike friends, I provide:

• Unbiased, objective feedback to help you make clear decisions.
• A tailored process with actionable goals and accountability.
• Tools and strategies grounded in proven career development methods.
• A time where you can explore challenges without judgment.
• A focus on you, not shared experiences or assumptions.

Coaching isn’t about giving advice — it’s about helping you uncover the answers that are already within you, and building the confidence and clarity to act on them.
