1. What exactly is coaching?
Coaching is unlike counseling or psychotherapy in that your coach assumes that you are a whole, healthy, resourceful individual. A Coach does not analyze you or diagnose you. The focus is the present and future, not the past.
In a coaching relationship, the Coach is a partner and the entire focus is on you, on your choices, and on finding the joy and passion in your life. The coach helps you "stay the course" on your individual path. Coaching deals with you as a whole person, with all aspects of your life.

2. What kind of Coach is Lori?
Lori specializes in helping people through difficult relationship transitions. This may be a divorce, a separation, dealing with the teen years, children leaving home, a new career, the loss of a job, starting a business, dealing with a major illness, the death of a loved one, finding a new partner, dealing with a second marriage or incorporating a new spouse and parent for your children into your life. As a personal coach for passionate living, it is Lori’s dream to see you living a life filled with love and passion. One of the greatest gifts Lori has to offer is helping you to see your world through new lenses...the gift of other perspectives.

3. What is the Coaching process?
One of the wonderful things about coaching is that it can all be done by telephone, skype or in person. There is an initial 2 hour intake process. Most clients then choose to 'meet' once a week, three to four weeks per month, for one-half hour. There is typically a 3 month initial commitment. The exact coaching schedule varies with each client, as it is geared to meet your needs.
As your coach, Lori listens to you, without judgment, in a safe and confidential environment. Together, we discover your inner values, what makes you – Your dreams and life purpose become clear.

4. What are the benefits of coaching?
Balance. Harmony with life. Living life 'on purpose'. Joy. Passion. Integrity. Peace within. A feeling of connectedness. Oh, and did I say Balance?
As a coach, I can help you brainstorm, plan and stick to your plan. If you choose, you can be held accountable in a strong and loving way. Then we celebrate your success! Lori is sort of a compassionate Dr. Phil, she pushes you to face fears, take leaps and overcome past conditioning.

5. What can I expect from you as my coach?
I bring to my coaching practice the same qualities I have given my clients over 18 years as an Attorney and Mediator:
- Clarity that this is YOUR LIFE! I am here to serve you to reach your goals, to feel balanced, to discover your values and to live your life authentically, in alignment with those values.
- Compassion: I care deeply about you.
- Unconditional support: I am 100% here for you. This is a safe, nonjudgmental partnership.
- Different perspectives: I tell people that the number one attribute I gained from coaching and have incorporated in my life is the ability to see different perspectives.
- Humor! It is extremely important to be able to laugh and enjoy the process.
- Life experience: I have had a varied and fulfilling life. Finding balance was a great feat for me. Coaching really helped me in this area.
- Removing barriers: I love brainstorming with clients about what is blocking them from living a fulfilling life. Once you know what these blocks are, you remove them one by one, revealing your true, essential self.
- Focusing on what you want: Creating an "Absolute YES" list and then having my support as your coach while you change how you respond to requests for your time.
- Common sense: I always felt that as an attorney I was trained to see the whole picture. I help you to accept that what is happening in your life is happening for a reason. What is most important is how you respond to these life events.
