Personal Development Coaching

What is Personal Development Coaching?
Personal development coaching is a process of exploration, learning and action. All aspects of yourself—personal and professional, as well as your relationships with yourself and others—contribute to your personal growth and transformative process.
Life, however, is complex and ever changing. It is easy to feel stuck and as if we are going around in circles. Whether it is health, work or relationship challenges, transitions in life can leave us unsure of what our next steps should be.
What’s significant is that you always have some choice in where you want to go next in life. This is what gives us hope as human beings and empowers us, despite whatever we are facing. This is where a coach can help.
Together we can find the right choices for you and act on them.

As Your Coach, I Will:

Boost your determination
And hold you accountable to the actions and goals that you set.

Be your ally and your challenger

Keep you focused on what matters most
And encourage you to speak and act with authenticity.

Help you simplify

Hear you
I will truly listen to you, reflecting what you are saying—and not saying—back to you. I will do this with honesty and compassion.

See you as a whole person
As someone guided by your life experiences, beliefs and values.

Offer a new approach
Whether you are seeking fulfillment in your daily life, at work, or in your relationships, I will arm you with the tools and skills you need to use today and in the future.
What will happen when we work together and how many sessions will I need?
The process starts by contacting me for a short phone conversation to see if coaching is the right fit for you. If we both decide that we are the right fit and wish to work together, we will schedule two, one-hour sessions each month. Most of my clients work with me from three to six months or more, depending on each individual and the challenges at hand.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions can be in person at my office in Toronto, or by phone or videoconference from anywhere in the world. I coach in English, Spanish and Hebrew. The coaching sessions are always completed at a place and time that is convenient for you. All you need is a quiet space and some time dedicated to yourself and your own personal growth.
Is there group coaching?
Yes. A few times each year, I offer small, virtual group coaching programs in specific areas of learning. This group-learning environment can be more cost effective than one-on-one coaching. Contact me to learn more.
What happens in between sessions?
Coaching is a process dedicated to moving you forward. Setting clear goals, intentions and actions to be completed between sessions is an important part of the journey. That said, there is no need to worry if you are not able to achieve everything you set out for yourself. We will work together during our sessions to understand what causes you to hesitate and what prompts you to follow through. It’s an ongoing process of learning.
Testimonials
“My time with Claudia was extremely instrumental for working through a difficult time in my life. She helped guide me to see my future, and myself in a new light. I left every session filled with a sense of personal accomplishment and a newfound energy to attack upcoming challenges.”
“Working with Claudia was like taking a beautiful hike up a mountain with a knowledgeable guide. The process was vigorous and challenging, yet enjoyable. With Claudia as my guide, was able get rid of the obstructions in my path, while pointing out my strengths to get me to where I wanted to go. I would not be here, happy and content, or where I am supposed to be, without Claudia’s help.”
