What were a couple of your big take-aways from working with me?

One of my main takeaways from our lunch was understanding that it’s never too late to make a change and to keep growing. Your story of going back for your phd in your 40s stuck with me — your mom’s advice to you that in 3 years (or really however many years) is not so long in the scheme of things. One of my main challenges right now is trying to find a career (and generally live my life) more in line with my values, but I sometimes get caught up in feeling like I should be in a certain place by a time. Your stories and guidance helped me realize, in a way that really stuck with me, that everyone is on their own journey, however long it takes.

What, in your view, sets my material and approach apart from the myriad other coaching/transformational programs available out there?

You provide a unique way of guidance that I think is rare to find, even as therapy and coaching has become more ubiquitous. Your way of sharing wisdom through personal stories makes it much easier to relate to and apply to my own life. You have a simple, graceful way of distilling things down to what really matters, and of helping people see whatever they are working on through a different lens. While traditional therapy seems to be more one-sided and the therapist mainly listens, and life-coaching is more advice-driven, you provide a happy medium between the two. While I don’t consider myself very religious (in the church-going sense), I also appreciate the spiritual guidance you provide. I feel you are very rooted, and are sharing lessons not only from your own life, but from generations before.
