Professional Coaching is an ongoing partnership that is intended to create clarity so that you can take authentic action on your own behalf.

A good coach sees the heroic in you and helps you see it too so that you can choose to do what you are uniquely called to do. By providing greater focus and awareness of your choices, you can expect our coaching relationship to accelerate your progress beyond what you would be able to do on your own.

Coaching helps you concentrate on where you are today and what you are willing to do and be to get where you want to be tomorrow.

What is coaching?
Coaching is a confidential empowering relationship that opens a door in your life. The opportunity for a new perspective that coaching provides can enable you to re-cognize the best in yourself. A good coach believes that you already have in you everything that you need and supports the hero(ine) that is you so that you can act in the world from your personal best. Coaching moves your questions from the theoretical/psychological realms to the center of your practical lived life and actions.

Together we reconnect your heart's desires with your actions. As a coach, I engage with you in discovering what you really want and how you really want to be in your life. When you re-cognize yourself as the clear and courageous hero (ine) that you already are, you can create results that revive and rejuvenate you and contribute in the world. You CAN thrive in life rather than just get by!

Who hires a coach?
I work with people who want to engage in life at the level of their true purpose and authentic self, who are ready to prosper and enjoy life! I engage both women and men and in particular, those who want to address their concerns:
1. in their relationships,
2. with their use of time and money,
3. about their life purpose and,
4. regarding their creative energy (mostly its lack of its exercise!), and,
5. many people who struggle with the effects of ADD/ADHD.

How does coaching work?
In my coaching, I offer, of course, a rich dialogue about what concerns you. In addition, where possible, I offer a variety of support services that go beyond the conversation that we share. Some of them are unusual remedies to problems like organizing your office or structuring your time. I may, for example, come to your office and actually help you sort or be with you while you make difficult phone calls rather than just talking with you about you doing them. My aim in coaching with you is to be your advocate and to support you while you re-pattern your thoughts and actions, making yourself into the person you really want to be.

In practical terms, coaching sessions are usually once or twice a week and can be from one half-hour to 3 hours long depending on the nature of the work we are doing. They can be on the phone, in my office, or at your location. I also do weekend sessions at a small private cabin on the edge of Yellowstone--see the retreat and cabin descriptions on this web site. Prices vary depending on the type of service you choose but begin with $400.00/month for weekly sessions. Payments are made by the month in advance.

How long should I expect to be involved in coaching?
Some people have a coach for most of their lives and benefit from the ongoing support (think Olympic sports!) but coaching can also effect change very quickly. My experience is that for the changes you make to "take" in your life, you will want to make a minimum commitment of 3 months initially. Most of my clients request more extensive ongoing work with me. We can negotiate that when the original commitment expires.

How do I get started?
It's simple. Call me @ 406-586-3238 or email me @ vrannasue@msn.com for an introduction.

When we have determined that we want to work together, we can begin with a coaching assessment before the first session. Our first meeting, the intake session, will take a little longer than subsequent sessions as we get to know each other. Then, together we will identify what has to happen for you so that coaching with me will be the best investment you ever make in your life!
