The Center for Coaching Story

Center for Coaching evolved to fill a real need: to match a client with a coach who could best serve his or her goals and objectives. When I began my coaching practice years ago, I called myself a business and personal coach. As my coaching practice grew, I received a wide range of requests for coaching assignments, from business management to career change to executive leadership coaching.

Soon I began to realize that I was most effective and also most personally fulfilled in my work when I stayed within my area of specialty, which was business coaching. I became convinced that all coaches had their specialty areas in which they consistently produced extraordinary results with their clients.

As I continued to receive a wide range of coaching assignment requests, I saw the need to develop a team of coaches. I joined with coaches with a range of areas of specialty and preference to best meet clients needs and objectives. I met with and invited some of the best coaches I knew to be part of the Center for Coaching.

I formalized the process of matching coach with client and the Center for Coaching was born. Since our formation in 2001, the company’s philosophy of matching clients with the “right” coach has proven to be successful. Clients are receiving the results they desire (and remaining with us) and the coaches are personally fulfilled doing the specialty work they love.

All Under One Roof

It was also my vision to have a center where a client could have a coaching company that he or she could grow with. As a client’s goals are accomplished or met, new areas for personal/professional development emerge.

A client who came to Center for Coaching for career change and direction could, after the initial goal was reached, have other services (management skills, for example) to work with for the next desired phase of development.

Our clients receive a range of coaching services under “one roof,” where their personal preferences and personal styles are both known and taken into consideration. We seek to ensure that our clients have the best and most effective experience with coaching.
