Bridge the Gap Between Who You Are and Who You Want to Be
Action-oriented coaching that helps you make a real, tangible impact in your communities.
In a world filled with intersecting crises, it’s easy to find ourselves becoming overwhelmed and feeling stuck.
We find ourselves in situations where we want to say something, but we feel our throats close up on us. We see something we care about and want to act, but we freeze instead.
We want to show up, but we just aren't.
Or we are, but we know we're moving quickly toward burnout.
And over time, the gap widens between who we are and who we want to be.
If this is your experience, I’ve created a three-session coaching series to support you in beginning to move: taking tangible, imperfect action steps toward creating the change you seek to make in your communities.
We create meaningful change when we find gentle ways to embody the future we want to experience.
Over our three sessions together, we’ll use guiding frameworks from Nonviolent Communication, Asset-Based Community Development, and somatic awareness to:
Name your context and gain deep clarity on your current experience
Identify tangible next steps and the supports you need to feel confident in taking them
Take action and evaluate together how it goes and what you need to make your changework sustainable and long-lasting into the future
At the end of these sessions, you’ll have: taken meaningful action that makes an impact. A renewed sense of connection within your communities. Practical experience exercising your autonomy, agency, and choicefulness. Made a difference.
“I am always amazed and challenged by Andrew’s commitment to take things slow, go deep, and make transformational work sustainable.” – Jenny M.
“Andrew is an excellent teacher and facilitator, very welcoming and open. I learned new tools and practices, and ways to be flexible and adjust my practices as needed on a daily basis.” – Gina A.
“Andrew brings together this really fascinating and delightful mix of gifts: he's great with structures and systems – both understanding them and creating them – and he does it all with a really light and playful touch that makes big things feel manageable. And most importantly, he cares. About his people. About the topics he's working with. And about the real impact of it all.” – James P.
Are we a fit to work together?
If you receive my weekly Gentle Change newsletter but feel like you need more hands-on support, this is the best thing I can recommend: customized, one-on-one brainstorming, feedback, and accountability. And if you’ve read this far and feel like my approach to coaching might support you as you work to make change, I definitely think this is for you. You can sign up here for a free 20-minute “coffee chat” where we’ll get to know each other and hone in on the change you’re seeking to make.
And if we aren’t a fit to work together, I will happily recommend you other coaches, books, resources, and frameworks that might feel more supportive. 🙂
Why are three sessions required?
When it comes to building our capacity for effective changework, I’ve found it’s nearly impossible to make happen with just one session. At the end of one session, you can walk away with ideas and reflection, but have no accountability or follow-up; with two sessions, you’ll have some actionable feedback, but you can still feel on-your-own.
With three sessions, we can truly understand the challenges you’re facing, implement actionable steps, evaluate them, and create goals for moving forward, ensuring lasting impact and sustainability.
How much do these three sessions cost?
This three-session coaching series (in addition to the free coffee chat) is priced at $225. If additional sessions are wanted from there, the cost is $75 per session or set collaboratively if alternative styles of coaching (text-based, email-based, and so on) are desired.
Session Expectations:
The free 20-minute “coffee chat” pre-session is a low-risk, low-commitment way 1) you can get immediate support with a problem you’re working with, and 2) we can get to know each other a bit before hopping into a coaching rhythm. I want to make sure this feels good and impactful for both of us.
After our first chat, our three 50-minute sessions will focus on identifying the context around the change you seek to make, how to navigate that context and where power resides within it, design tangible action steps, and then evaluate together how they are going and what shifts to make going forward.
In addition to the three sessions (and the initial coffee chat), I am happy to offer text-based check-ins and other supports as needed for the change to take place.
