• Manage the sessions to keep on track
• Agree actions for between sessions, so that the coaching in effect continues between sessions
• Be right there with you when you need that, respect your space and decisions when you need that too, and be mindful always of your goals
• Be highly intuitive when it's appropriate, in ways that pick up your real needs and where there might be opportunities for insights, realisations, breakthroughs and discovery of enhanced possibility

• Challenge you when you need it and are ready for it
• Be 100% committed to your growth and fulfilment
• Affirm your essential worth and value as a human being, irrespective of how your life is showing up at present or has done
• Work by phone or face to face as preferred. Phone support means you can be anywhere in the world
• Give e-mail support between sessions if needed
• Maintain confidentiality
