Coaching For Success
What is coaching?
Live Your Life by Design… not by Default!
Coaching is one of the most effective resources in personal and professional development. It is a co-creative process that capitalizes on the existing wisdom of the client coupled with the specific skills of the coach. Together, the coach and client work to map out and execute a development plan that guarantees positive results for the client. Coaching is a method of development that catalyzes the capacity for learning and growth and helps to sort through options for improvement to make clear decisions. Coaching conversations open a wisdom channel between heart and mind.
Coaching = Partnership + Wisdom + Action |

What is a Coach?
- An external, personal and professional partner
- Your personal trainer for success, an expert who assists another expert—you
- A resource who supports a person’s personal and professional best
- A mirror to wisdom and strengths, so people grow and take action to achieve the extraordinary by empowering them through teaching ways that focus on strengths, minimize limitations, and enhances performance
"As a coach, Jeannie is a natural. She has a style grounded in honest curiosity which gave me the opportunity to explore options that I wouldn't have thought about otherwise. She's a great questioner and kept me focused on the work I had to do."  Eric T. Moscow, ID |
A Coach Will…
- Honor their clients’ knowledge of themselves—their creativity, resourcefulness, and intuition.
- Accelerate the client's progress by improving their focus and awareness of choice.
- Recognize that superior results depend on the client's intentions, choices, and actions.
- Support the client’s efforts, act as a sounding board, and assist in strategic planning.
- Listen astutely and thoughtfully hearing not only what is being said but often what is not said
- Share genuine curiosity and enthusiasm for your plans and goals
- Help you uncover hidden dreams and possibilities
- Challenge you to step up to the plate in your personal and professional lives
- Give you direct and honest feedback
- Provide tools and technology to promote your success
- Encourage you to develop “who” you are as well as “what” you do
- Celebrate your achievements and accomplishments – both small and large!
"Jeannie is upbeat and communicates basic concepts clearly and in a manner that never sounds anything other than supportive and genuinely interested in helping her client progress toward his/her own goals.
Thank you, Jeannie, for the wonderful work you do!!!"

“Jeannie is better that any psychotherapist I have ever known and worked with professionally. Her combination of intuition, life experience and problem solving skills are an invaluable asset. She has a remarkable ability to withhold judgment, avoid making assumptions and thinks out side the box.”

How does the Coaching process work?
- There is no cookie cutter approach : sessions are designed around participants’ goals/needs
- Fieldwork: participants are given formulas, new perspectives, or challenges to try something a new way. Each fieldwork period lasts for the time between calls - - one to two weeks. Assignments are kept short and meaningful.
- The coach is a resource: participants can call or email if they are “stuck.” They may need to share a victory or get feedback. Unscheduled calls are limited to 5 – 10 minutes.
- The coaching is CONFIDENTIAL: the coach does not report the content of coaching conversations to anyone.
- The coach’s work is to coach the client: a coach will evoke answers about goals, managing others, and taking care of yourself.
- Coaches work primarily by phone: the coach wants to fit into the business flow. Telephoning makes it easy to stay in the coaching relationship from anywhere. The coaches have been trained to use finely honed listening skills very well via phone.
- There is a choice: participants have the option of working with a coach who is comfortable match.
- You make the call: the participant calls the coach at an appropriately scheduled time.
Style & Format: Coaching happens on the telephone and in-person, one-on-one and in groups. There is no set formula for achieving success, and as good coaching is individually based and client-driven, we believe that the appropriate format for each client emerges organically in the conversation between coach and client. We offer several coaching plans with various lengths of time and number of sessions. In-person meetings obviously depend on the client’s locale; we have worked quite successfully both face to face with local clientele and over the phone with individuals across nation.
As a coach, Jeannie Anderson is the crème de la crème. She brings her own intuitive gifts and substantial life-skills to bear on how she delivers as a coach using the CORE technology…… As a result, I’m stepping into a happier life. She has called me to take ownership of the large agenda that’s been waiting all along for me to claim and to take charge of directing and managing its realization. Jeannie is a gift. Larry W., Winter Park, FL
