How It Works

LET’S GET STARTED!

U

DISCOVERY SESSION

This is a 90 minute session where we dive into who you are, how you work and how we can best work together. This will include goal setting, action taking, as well as an exploration into your values and your inner leaders and critics.

w

COACHING

Every two weeks for 50 minutes. We dive into whatever is present in that moment, something that occurred earlier, or maybe something that you are anticipating. There is no set formula. Every session is unique to what you need and that’s up to you. You will gain awareness around FEAR and how it may be holding you back, how to take ACTION in moving toward your goals, and how to create a meaningful LIFE that is reflective of who you are.

Between sessions:
I offer email support and may send you resources (articles / books) or check in where you are at with accountability. I also offer mini coaching sessions – need to mentally prepare for an interview? Or have a meeting with your boss? We’ll do a quick 15 minute session to get you clear on what you need and what you want.

COMPLETION

We’ll both know when the time is right for you. Typically clients tell me that they arrive at a place where they can hear the questions that I would ask and ultimately they coach themselves. THIS…this is the goal of coaching. We end our time together with a reflection of where you have been, where you are now and where you are headed.

Coaching can be done by phone or video conference, so you can be anywhere in the world. I am located just outside Seattle, Washington, USA, but coach clients all over the world.

Testimonials

"I didn’t know what to expect from a life coach as I began working with Shawnee, I just knew I was stuck and that I responded well when I made commitments to others. I was delightfully surprised from my very first phone meeting. From the beginning, we connected easily and powerfully, and by the end of my first session, I had a plan and commitment that was 180 degrees from my typical, failed approach. Shawnee helped me see problems from different angles, so I could find solutions and actions that would move me forward. I made regular steps towards my goals that were manageable, and started taking proactive steps in anticipation of challenges. Working with her was life-changing! I have the highest respect for Shawnee’s work coaching me through change, and empowering me with tools for life."

"Having been through trauma, it is really difficult for me to trust people, even in coaching. I feel like it took me time to fully lean into this relationship but Shawnee's patience and kindness allowed me to feel safe enough to unearth things that were not easy. I am so grateful for Shawnee's loving presence along the ride. I'm so grateful for the acknowledgements that I often forget to give myself, for her creativity in metaphors, exercises and reframing. With Shawnee's coaching I learned to trust myself again, to recognize grace and strength in myself so that I can move into the world a bit truer to myself and more loving."

"I rarely take time for myself, let alone slow down enough to set goals and actionable plans. Working with Shawnee was my way of investing time in myself. In the four months we worked together Shawnee guided me to reflect on where my life and my values were in harmony, and where some alignment was needed. I finally slowed down, spent a lot of time reflecting, and got very clear about the things that fill my heart. Since our time together I've completed a certificate program and gotten involved with a local non-profit, both things that align to the goals that were identified through our work together. Now, months later, I frequently revisit that list of values that I identified with Shawnee which guides my decisions about where to invest my time and my energy."
