STRATEGY-FOCUSED COACHING

Helping you move, with confidence, 

                    from where you are to where you want to be.

 “Your Career is more than Your Job. It encompasses all the roles you play in your life. Your life is your career.”

 Are there issues at work or in your life that continually nag at you and cause you difficulty? Are you having difficulty dealing with them on your own?

 Working with me, my clients get:

• Greater awareness of themselves and others,
• Increased clarity about what it is they really want and how to achieve it,
• Greater ability to make decisions that are aligned with what is most important to them, and
• The ability to take more effective action to carry out their decisions and attain their desired results.

 What is Coaching?

 In essence, I help you to make your own decisions and then to act on them. Understanding yourself and being really clear about what you want are essential to making those good decisions. I am not a therapist and will not help you dig around in your past to search for root causes. Other people can do that for you. I will help you focus on the present and the situation that faces you now.

 You do not have to be in crisis to benefit from coaching. Actually, coaching will help you avoid crises. Remember, it’s like taking your car in for routine maintenance, so that it won’t break down.

 The pattern of my coaching focuses intensely, at the beginning, on your strengths, your vision, what is important to you, and what might get in your way, then moves on to your decision making. The action stage concentrates on what you actually do to bring about the changes you want and supports you in getting past obstacles to implement the action you have chosen.

Coaching programs are tailored to your needs.

Coaching provides you with a structure within which you have the greatest chance for success, but this structure allows you whatever flexibility you may need and want.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Lee Wallace has been coaching me for over a year. As my coach he has been someone who has had a significant, positive impact on my professional and personal development. As an independent business owner, I have appreciated working regularly with him because in the past I have had to address this important and challenging work on my own.

Lee has a real knack for asking questions that I don’t want to ask myself, but ones that need or deserve answers. Then he skillfully listens, not just to my words, but to what is behind them – the silences and the spaces between the words. And then he seems to know intuitively what to say, or not say, next.

Lee has helped me move through some difficult periods over the past year. Navigating change and staying resilient has kept me from feeling overwhelmed and sinking into waves of helplessness with some particularly challenging situations.

As well, Lee has also helped me to rediscover a new curiosity for my dreams and aspirations that had been lost in the practicality of running a business and juggling multiple roles. He has also helped me to address what I most value and what I am most passionate about. During our sessions I have been able to clarify my goals and work with tools that he has provided that help me keep focused on what is most important.

Whether I have had a great success or feel things are in a mess, Lee is someone who accepts me as I am and joins with me without judgment and without analyzing. He allows me to talk, share emotions, gain insights, and make decisions. As a result, I have gained a greater understanding of my strengths and weaknesses, and have been able to identify and overcome some of my self-limiting beliefs that have stood in the way of accomplishing some goals.

My regular coaching sessions with Lee have been enjoyable and expanding. I look forward to each interaction and when I cannot attend a session, I feel like I have missed an important opportunity.

Working with Lee has helped me to be more effective, more balanced and more directed as a businessperson and a human being. I do not hesitate to recommend him as a coach.
