For fun. I have a collection of rubber ducks that started when I had a Jeep and continued when I started working in elementary school by the kids giving them to me. The life coach idea made me think of a football coach and I just decided to run with it. To me, most sites for coaching are either boring or more geared towards women. I wanted to make sure that men felt just as comfortable looking for help. Don't worry, come Huddle Up time it is all straight talk and down to business.

The "Huddle Up" is just the football term for our coaching session. Whether we meet online or in person, the time you book with me will always be in the huddle. In that huddle, there is nothing held back as we look into whatever is going on in your life. Once I understand your situation or frustrations, we work together to figure out the path you want to take forward. When you think about the huddle, think just like in a football game. You huddle before every play, you might have to call an audible, you run the play, and you either score or get a little closer to the goal line.  

Absolutely not! My experience comes from life while my coaching methods allow me to easily flow to different types of help, adapting to the situation. If you are looking for someone who read a book (that you could read) and is just relaying the information they read, then you should look elsewhere. I am not licensed in any way, I do not provide clinical diagnoses and I do not dig into trauma that is long passed.

 If you ever feel you need that type of assistance, please seek a medical professional right away.

Resume writing, nope. You can have 50 professional writers draft a resume for you and they are all going to say theirs is the right way, while none of them match. As far as career coaching, that depends on what you mean by it. Will I help you change careers and plan out where you are going to work, no I will not. However, if you like where you work but are struggling with your boss, employees, co-workers, or even your daily commute, we can certainly talk about all that stuff. Maybe it is easiest said that we can talk about the work drama, but not the where to work.

Before I answer that, if you have read the other FAQs to this point, then you already know I am not like others. At no point in time will I hide my thoughts behind fancy or fluffy words just to make me sound smarter. I am not corporate or clinical, and I don't want to try and make you think otherwise. Most others will tell you something that you want to hear during a session just so you leave feeling rewarded, whether it is the right answer or not. I know that not all plays are positive and that is what you need to realize as well. No part of me will ever tell you something that isn't real. I do everything in a very supportive and friendly way, but it is always the truth. You might do a great thing or something that was really dumb, either way you will know because it shapes the future. I am here to help you, not just to help my wallet. 

They won't be brought into the discussion by me, but I won't judge you on your opinions or beliefs if you mention them. I won't share my thoughts on either subject, but if that is something that is a big part of your life, I understand. Maybe you are having issues with your child not wanting to follow your religious beliefs. That would be bringing religion into the conversation, but it would not be the focus of it. The focus would still remain the communication and feelings between you and your child. I don't want you to worry about what you talk about or bring me, just know I am always the impartial support that never takes sides. 

Everyone has the ability to Huddle Up by way of video chat, regardless of where you are. If you live local to Manassas Park, VA there are a couple of other options as well. Those clients can either have Homefield Advantage (In home) or be a visitor to another stadium (Public location) and have the sessions in person. 

Once you submit the intake form, we will find a time that works for all parties and lock it in. Each huddle up session is set for 1 hour minimum. If a session runs long, and you wish to keep going, I keep availability for Overtime in 30 minute blocks.

A coach is giving you advice to help you deal with everyday life or your path forward. A mediator (referee) is someone impartial to stand between two opposing sides, listen to the details, and make a decision based on the information without being swayed by feelings or opinions. You just have to remember that the referee's decision is final and be ready to live with that.

Let me ask you, why should it be there? This isn't a dating app. How I look has no relevance to helping you sort out your life. If I look older at 5'3" does that mean it will help you talk to your children better than if I were young and 6'1"? Not even a little bit. If you are shopping for a coach based on looks, then you are not shopping for a coach for the right reasons.
