Mel's 2 Client Goals (in revese order)

   2.  My secondary goal is to successfully work myself out of my coaching role with every client.

   1.  And if I have successfully met my secondary goal, I will have met my primary goal... which             

       is to have helped each client get what they need most.

Mel's 4 Disclaimers

1. Life coaching as a profession is unregulated
2. My initial client base has been built through direct personal relationships where my ethics and values are now and where some level of trust has been earned.
3. I encourage you to delay setting any significant expectations, whether unreasonable or overly ambitious, for our sessions until we can both get a feel for how our conversations progress over time.
4. If at some point during our sessions, it is determined by me (or you) that a clinical professional is needed, I will work to help you find the right clinician. 

Mel's 5 Client Sidebars

1. Coaching is not the same as counseling.
2. I'm less concerned with what you want and more interested in what you need.
3. I will move at your pace unless you don't have one, then we can't start the coaching relationship.
4. My approach to coaching is proactive rather than reactive.
5. Our goal as we meet is to be advancing, no matter how incremental. 

Mel's 3 Client Working Agreements

Life & Health Coaching, Mentoring, and Teaching are all spaces designed for co-creating.  At the heart of co-creating, both me and my client work together to build a sustainable model for discussing the past, present, and future in an effort to achieve positive outcomes for the client. Successful conversations that prompt and compel us to learn and grow never happen in a vacuum. These kinds of serious, uncomfortable, and challenging interactions work best in environments where there is shared care, respect, empathic listening, compassion, patience, optimism, and trust.

• I want to co-create an exciting and safe goal-based journey for every single client.
• I want to co-create an intentional, honest, trusting, and transparent space for free organic conversations.
• I want to co-create an open and healthy atmosphere for psychological safety aimed at holistic wellness and personal productivity
