My Coaching Philosophy

At the heart of my coaching approach is a focus on cultivating a positive, resilient mindset. I believe that by nurturing optimism and adaptability, my clients can navigate even the most challenging circumstances with grace and tenacity.

My Coaching Process

In my sessions, I prioritize the development of emotional intelligence, recognizing that a deep understanding and management of emotions can significantly enhance performance and interpersonal relationships. I also honor the power of personal narratives, as I believe that a closer examination of the stories we tell ourselves can often reveal valuable insights.

My Coaching Style

Ultimately, my coaching style is centered on promoting self-governance. I aim to foster autonomy by empowering my clients to take the reins and make informed decisions for themselves. However, I also value constructive feedback as a crucial coaching tool, as I believe that clear, purposeful input can guide both the coach and coachee towards meaningful improvement. Through this holistic, empowering approach, my goal is to help my clients develop the mindset, skills, and self-awareness needed to thrive in all aspects of their lives.

Who do I work with?

My ideal client is a driven, open-minded individual who is eager to invest in their own holistic growth and development, with the ultimate goal of becoming a more resilient, emotionally intelligent, and self-directed human being.

I am dedicated to developing well-rounded, adaptable individuals who can bounce back from setbacks and thrive amidst change. I underscore the importance of perpetual learning and improvement, as I see the coaching journey as a continuous path of growth, not a finite destination.

Testimonials

I think just starting the coaching journey opened Steve up to the idea that personal development was also a big part of developing as a professional. I feel that the time he took outside of work to attend coaching gave him time to reflect on his job performance and place on the team. It has become easier on me as a manager and the team benefits by more productivity and less negative behaviors in the workplace.

“Working with Firestone Coaching was a reminder of what motivated and energetic leadership can achieve. I recall our initiative back in 2017—while we faced challenges, we ultimately succeeded in launching our Competence by Design training program for the residents. Though we didn’t land on a mission statement, we introduced our physician group to the concept of coaching and its immense value. Firestone Coaching played a crucial role in guiding us through this process, demonstrating the power of having a coach to support and inspire growth. Their expertise made a lasting impact.”
