Chat Leonard - Whetstone Coaching Services

About

Hello, and thank you for checking out Whetstone Coaching Services!

I offer a full spectrum of coaching services - business, executive, career and life coaching.

My coaching rates: I offer varying levels of coaching packages so I can more closely meet your exact specifications.

My background: I grew up in Germany and England before eventually settling in the US over 30 years ago. I have 35+ years of experience in the corporate world, from start-ups to international corporations, in a variety of sales leadership and general management positions, coaching for sales excellence and building high-functioning teams. In my personal life I've had many successes (and a few failures!) as spouse and parent, all of which have afforded me the opportunity to learn life’s lessons from both the highs and the lows.

I've also honed my formal coaching disciplines and skills by completing my professional coaching certification through the Coach Training Alliance, accredited by the ICF, the International Coaching Federation, and I am an active ICF Member in the Orange County chapter.

I want to put all my skills and experiences in the service of helping my Clients excel in their business and career pursuits, in their personal relationships, and in their personal wellbeing…simply put, to help you savor a life well-lived!

Some Questions… and a few Answers!

• What are the benefits of Professional Coaching?

There are myriad benefits depending on your unique, individual circumstances, but the main goal is to move my Clients from being stuck to gaining new perspectives and creating new, purposeful opportunities for themselves, whether at work, home, gym, school, wherever!

• How does Professional Coaching work?

My coaching style is conversational and fun while also insightful and intuitive, to help you create results-driven action plans to boost productivity, enhance skills and provide clarity. Typically, I conduct coaching sessions from my office by phone or video chat. Coaching sessions occur 3 or 4 times per month for 50 minutes, with additional email support as needed.

• Is coaching like a therapy session?

No, it most certainly is not! I am a certified professional coach, not a licensed therapist. So, my role is not on to conduct deep psychoanalysis or dig into the history of your personal issues. My goal is to encourage Possibility Thinking, to work with you in the Now, to help you construct a better Next.

• Who are my Clients?

The successes and defeats in my own life journey give me a special passion for helping business executives dealing with divorce to create successful new chapters in their career and life.

But on a wider level, it’s men, women, young adults…
- Seeking new ways to excel, set and achieve bigger goals;
- Looking to build new leadership and relational skills to take their career (and income) to the next level;
- Working to find harmony in their work-life priorities;
- Wanting to leave frustration, procrastination and "FeelingStuck" behind and move into Possibility Thinking;
- And yet others just needing help getting back on track and holding them accountable to follow through on the changes they’ve pledged to make in their life.

• How do I know if coaching will help me?

Really, the question isn’t so much will coaching help you – there’s almost no doubt we can all benefit from some good, solid coaching! The more pertinent question is, will MY coaching help YOU?

And to help you figure that out, I offer a complimentary, no-obligation 60-minute "discovery session." It's a relaxed but purposeful way for us to get to know each other and see if there's a good coaching fit. I'm including a link to my appointment program below, so if you'd like to schedule an appointment, just take a look and see if there's a time that works for you:

Here's to your success!
