COACHING FOR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL SUCCESS
What Is Coaching?
Coaching helps you get from where you are to where you want to be. It is a proactive, results-driven activity that helps you reach your professional and personal goals. Coaching requires your focus, effort and energy. Your coach becomes your success partner in identifying and clarifying your strengths and leveraging them to craft and achieve your future.
Coaching takes place over the phone or face-to-face, one-on-one or in teams. The Coaching Conversations© workshop is also available to larger groups.
Find out if coaching is right for you by setting up a no-charge, no-obligation, 15-minute phone call. You and Dori will assess the appropriateness of coaching for your specific situation and discuss the options. You will be provided with pricing information before making a commitment. Generally, payments are made at the beginning of each month.
Who Benefits From Coaching?
Coaching is for people who want to move beyond what they already think and know (enhance awareness and growth), people who want to take focused approach to achieving results (clarity and action), and people who feel stuck or who may need extra support or accountability to turn intentions into results.
Anyone interested in actively participating in his or her own professional and personal development can benefit from having a coach. At Turning Points, this includes:
- Leaders and managers
- Entrepreneurs
- Business people facing work-life balance challenges
- Up-and-coming executives
- Students making college and career choices
- Anyone seeking a growth opportunity on or off the job
How It Works – Individuals
Individual coaching contracts are established up front based on coaching goals. Sessions are often conducted over the telephone. Each session is 50 minutes at mutually agreed upon, regularly scheduled times. Sessions can be extended and return clients are welcome for “check ins”!

Sample Client Goals And Results Achieved
Job Redesign For Greater Satisfaction
An executive who worked at a large healthcare organization for 10+ years had become dissatisfied with his job responsibilities. He felt a great deal of loyalty to the organization, enjoyed the people he worked with and felt generally comfortable with his pay, benefits and commute. Still, the job had evolved into work he no longer enjoyed — so much so that he was contemplating a job change. Through coaching, he was able to pinpoint specific changes he desired in his job responsibilities, negotiate those changes, and implement them over an agreed upon period of time.

Attorney’s Work-Life Balance
A corporate lawyer practicing with a large firm for 9 years struggled with work-life balance issues. Work was depleting, leaving him little time or emotional energy for himself, his wife or his young children. He didn’t want to become like some of his acquaintances that had put worrying about work-life balance on the back burner in hopes of regaining it later. Through coaching, this lawyer realized he was being depleted by a job he wasn’t enjoying. He went to another firm, zeroed in on a specific type of law to practice, and now enjoys what he does so much it actually gives him extra energy to spend on himself and family.

“Right Mix” For Small Business Owner
A small business owner wanted to maintain her flourishing fitness business but felt that something was “missing” in her professional life. She wanted to explore additional services to offer clients. Through coaching, she realized she wanted to do something to exercise her mind as well as her body. She restructured her work to incorporate an additional activity for herself — part-time accounting job.

Transition Into “Retirement”
A school superintendent was contemplating her retirement and knew she wasn’t finished “working”. After 30+ years in education it was difficult to think about anything else. Through coaching, she created a personal vision incorporating her natural abilities, skills, personal style, interests, values, family and goals. She successfully applied that vision to identifying her next job and incorporating the pursuit of her neglected interests and leisure activities.
