R. R. Tolkien's quote from The Lord of the Rings.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619ff53b58cbd07ddaec3205/380eaa18-b95e-4a75-be93-eb96c97741b8/geraldine-lewa-N_Z91Evs_oM-unsplash.jpeg Coaching - GETTING STARTED Contact us for an introductory meeting to see if we are a good fit as chemistry is critical in a thought-provoking, perspective-broadening, inquiry-based, coaching process. Actual coaching would then identify goals and develop a plan to close the gap between your desired future vision and current state. Whatever the goal, Vision Kiln Coaching starts each engagement by getting to know you as a person so that we can explore not only your external action-oriented self (tasks to complete with skills) but also often as, or more importantly, your inner self (who you are). We take this approach because changing the status quo is very hard, you can not change what you can not see, and often looking inward is critical as in the words of Antoine de St. Exupery “it is only with the heart that one can see rightly”.
