About Me
My coaching philosophy: "Thought, Knowledge, Action" - you already know what you have to do to succeed. Coaching gives you the space, time to reflect, develop self-awareness, plan, and set SMART (Specific, Attainable, Measurable, Realistic,Time Based) goals.
What can I do for you?
•Become your brainstorming partner who will support/challenge you in a non-directive, non-judgmental way, in a safe environment
•Support you to, examine/remove barriers, create clarity, and develop/enhance the skills you need to create alignment with your personal goals/values/needs and move forward.
•Hold you accountable for your progress.

George used a Solution Focused approach to facilitating a focus group on paramedic practicum. The results were very positive, and we have implemented a number of changes that were suggested by the focus group participants. I was very impressed with George's ability to keep the discussion solution based, even through tenuous topics such as remuneration and labour relations.
