Team leaders and members
- What kind of teams do you work with?
- We read about the Team Diagnostic assessment. It sounds straightforward. Can we just purchase that without the whole debrief process?
- We've used Meyers-Briggs for a team. Is this any different?
- When you say "experiential activities, it sounds like team building we've done before. We've already done trust falls. Is it more of the same?

- What is Karmic Thievery?
- Karmic Thievery is a term I heard years ago that captures my attitude towards working only with clients I am well suited for. If I agree to work with someone for whom I am not truly a good match, then I have effectively stolen someone else's client. Hence, Karmic Thievery.
You can rest assured that you will receive no all-purpose hard sell pitch from me. If I do sense a great potential for us, you can also count on me to tell you that.

- Yes, contact me. I don't post on site for confidentiality. Let me know if you want individual coaching for leaders, work with teams, or supervision for a coach professional development.

Leaders — in organizations and in the community
- What topics do you address?
- Working with leaders, my focus is on developing your vision, revealing your impact, and building your self-knowledge and foundation for action. For many leaders, this includes a blend of professional and personal topics. All of this is in the context of you as a whole person – no subject is off limits, as long as you have intentionally chosen to focus there.

Team leaders and members
- What kind of teams do you work with?
- Cross-functional and departmental, newly formed, and virtual teams can all benefit from team coaching.

- What kind of teams DON'T you work with?
- I don't work with teams who work completely independently, such as a group of salespeople who all report to the same boss but cover separate territories and don't work with each other at all. I also do not facilitate a team process when the outcome has been determined in advance.

- We read about the Team Diagnostic assessment. It sounds straightforward. Can we just purchase that without the whole debrief process?
- No – it's a complete coaching methodology, not a set of stand-alone results. It serves to start the conversations that are needed.

- We've used Meyers-Briggs for a team. Is this any different?
- Yes. Meyers-Briggs looks at individual team members; this approach looks at the team as a whole.

- When you say "experiential activities," it sounds like team building we've done before. We've already done trust falls. Is it more of the same?
- Many team building programs focus on the atmosphere between people, what we call, in the Team Diagnostic model, "positivity."
Others focus on getting the job done, that is, productivity.
This approach combines the two, which allows teams to have the foundation that leads to results and the atmosphere that supports them to rise to their best.
