It means learning how you work, accepting how you work, and working with how you work.
When you work with me, we start with digging in to understand your hardware. That's all the fabulousness that is , well, you!
Next we start looking at your world. That's like the applications & programs in this little computer. They are things like your work life, your relationships, your friends and those pesky life chores like paying bills, renewing your drivers license on time…the every day stuff that you need to manage.
Then we develop your own Personal Operating System to bridge the gap between your hardware & the software of the world.
Your Personal Operating System is built to respect and celebrate who you are and how you move through the world - and allows you to do what you want to do and be who you want to be.
And that’s the big idea.
It’s your life.
It’s your day and we are going to work together to identify the things you want to accomplish…and we will identify what gets in the way.
That’s the power of understanding your personal operating system…knowing how you and the world fit together.
This Is How We Create Your Personal Operating System
1
Phase 1: Your Hardware
Together, we learn how you work…how you think, how you feel, how you wake up and take on the day…the stuff that makes you unique and valuable.
2
Phase 2: Your World (The Software)
We discover what the world expects from you…your responsibilities, your obligations & the admin of day to day life. We can't avoid it, so we've got to know what it needs.
3
Phase 3: Your Personal OS
We work so you learn how to close the gap between how you engage with the world and what the world needs from you.
This is where we learn everything important about you and your world. This is the basis of your personal operating system.
Asynchronous Support
Real change happens at the point of performance. Get the guidance you need, when you need it, through email, messaging, and voice messaging.
Updates & Changes
Once we've built the basics of your personal operating system , like any operating system, its likely going to need updates & tweaks. That's what we work on over time.
Why Video Sessions & Asynchronous Coaching?

Asynch Coaching
Change happens at the point of performance - you know, in the real world. Regardless if you are planning for something or reacting to something, the better you communicate what's happening, the better we use that info to build solutions. You can get feedback & insight without having to wait for a week…

Constant Updates
The world is a dynamic place & as you start making the changes that you want to make, everything can start getting a little squirrelly. The structure of our 1 on 1 time plus the close to the event reporting of our asynchronous communication helps us adapt your personal operating system in nearly real time.
