Private Couples

I specialize in working couples who are fully committed to their relationship with each other and who are up to creating a shared life that they love and enjoy…together!  I work with them to create a fulfilling partnership in their marriage. The work is always rewarding and (mostly!) fun for the couples involved, but it doesn’t happen without a plan and a clear methodology.

I offer three partnership packages outlined in the table below. My approach involves three essential phases: Vision Creation, Project Design and Project Fulfillment. I work with couples on some or all of these, depending upon where and how much they need my involvement:

Initially, I will meet with you and your spouse to discuss what you can expect during the course of the coaching engagement. We will explore what it is that you want to get out of your participation in the program – your goals of coaching. This first session is designed for us to design the coaching engagement so that it meets what you are looking for.

In the first sessions of all my partnership packages, we will focus on strengthening your connection with each other. Some of the conversations I have designed for these sessions include examining what’s important to you, designing shared perspectives that empower your relationship and creating a vision for an effective partnership.

Vision Creation

An essential element of every partnership package is your creation of a vision of your future together. You and your spouse do this in a simple and creative way. Together, you envision yourselves at some point in the future (say, 2-3 years) and then have a conversation about what you see in different areas of your life together – your family, your careers, your home, your community, etc.

As you share your vision with each other, you step into those future images and experience what it is like having that future be real for you. I’ll work with you both to create a timeline of some of the key accomplishments during this next period in your lives.

Project Design

As soon as you create a new future for yourselves, a number of projects will start to fall into your lap – your living room needs to be redecorated, you must start researching college applications for your son, you’ve got to start planning for your summer vacation or you’ve got to create an exercise plan. I’ll work with you to determine what project(s) you want to take on together.

I call these “partnership projects” which will require you to work together in fulfilling the future you envision. We will use a unique and powerful project design methodology to create your partnership project.

Project Fulfillment

Once you have created your partnership project, I’ll work with you in fulfilling the intended outcomes of your project. My commitment is that you work in partnership with each other, successfully sorting out who’s going to be responsible for what and staying in communication around what is getting done as well as what isn’t.

I’ll provide you with an effective and proven agenda format to use in your project meetings. I will keep you focused on your commitment to your partnership project, your working relationship and your effectiveness in producing the outcomes you desire. You’ll have fun. You’ll work as partners. And, you’ll accomplish what you set out to accomplish…together!
