We have a choice in how we face life decisions. We can make them alone and unequipped or with a trusted partner using tools that make our decisions based on our life's meaning. By working with a coach, you will navigate decisions with confidence knowing you have the skills and support to move forward.
We know that hurdles get in the way of how you want to be. We partner with you to face these challenges together and unleash your potential to find greater joy in life.
BENEFITS OF COACHING
Move Forward with Courage
Deepen your Relationships
Love starts with ourselves and then radiates to others. It's hard to build relationships without understanding what our Core Values are and how we enjoy being in this world. Through working with a trusted coach, you will uncover what matters to you in order to build relationships with others that are meaningful and supportive.
Achieve Meaningful Goals
In order to be successful in our goals, we need three things: 1) belief in our abilities, 2) goals that our aligned with our life's meaning, and 3) a trusted partner. Through coaching with BB Ties, you will establish these necessary tools to be successful in your goals and achieve long-term meaningful impact.
FAQS
How long does it take?
Changing behavior and learning new skills require time. While coaching is intended to be short-term, you are invited to participate in the coaching relationship for at least three months. You may certainly end the coaching relationship at any time, but you should not begin the coaching process if you do not intend to invest the span of time it will take to create meaningful change.
How are Coaching and Therapy Different?
Although coaching and therapy utilize knowledge of human behavior, motivation and behavioral change, and interactive counseling techniques, they are very different activities and it is important to understand the differences between them.
The focus of coaching is development and implementation of strategies to reach client identified goals. Coaching may address a variety of topics such as work-life balance, health goals, job satisfaction, or parenting challenges. Coaching utilizes personal strategic planning, values clarification, motivational enhancement, and other counseling techniques.
The focus of therapy, on the other hand, is the identification, diagnosis and treatment of mental and nervous disorders. The goals include alleviating symptoms, understanding the underlying dynamics that create symptoms, changing dysfunctional behaviors that are the result of these disorders, and developing new strategies for successfully coping with psychological challenges.
Lastly the relationship between the coach and client differs in important ways from the psychotherapy relationship. In coaching, the client sets the agenda and the success of the relationship depends on the client’s willingness to take risks and try new approaches. The relationship is designed to be more direct and challenging. You can count on a coach to be honest and straightforward, ask powerful questions and use challenging techniques to advance you toward your goals.
WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
If you are looking for a coach that brings out the best in you, I can only recommend Brandi. She is fully engaged, truly cares, and has such a positive attitude towards change. She makes it feel simple to improve your life for the better... from every angle you can imagine. She will change your life!
Tini, Vice President of Finance
I completed an initial series of eight weekly coaching sessions with Brandi and I was astounded by what we were able to achieve in such a short space of time. Brandi helped me to resolve an overarching career question I had been thinking about for years, by helping me to really dig deep & define my core values. She doesn’t give you the solutions to your problems, but she asks the uncomfortable questions that push you to the heart of the matter. I am looking forward to continuing to work with Brandi, as I feel strongly it will help me to maximize my potential, in various areas of my life, but particularly in my career.
Ellen, Head of Strategic Office
Working with Brandi to examine my personal goals, identify my character strengths and articulate my weekly intentions has been really energizing. Brandi is trustworthy and nonjudgmental, and I feel completely at ease in our meetings, even when we are talking about things that can be hard to look at. I recommend Brandi wholeheartedly. Time with Brandi is time well invested in yourself!
