The Restorative Coach Approach

Recognize. Integrate. Support. Evolve. -- Let's Practice Together.

We offer a unique, restorative coaching experience!

Restorative practices assume that every individual has a best self and that we have a collective interest in drawing each other towards those selves.

Coaching invites exploration, self-actualization, and action that aligns with a desired outcome or change.

A restorative coach approach creates space for leaders to pursue new, more inclusive narratives as they navigate the intersections of professional identity and impact. This approach increases capacity to adopt individual and shared practices that build trust, prioritize community care, invite accountability, and when necessary, result in repair!

What is coaching?

A client and coach partner together to identify goals and develop actionable practices that produce tangible change. In the coaching relationship, the client is the expert and the coach supports empowerment, wisdom seeking and growth.

What happens during coaching sessions?

To make the most of your time, we'll identify the session(s) focus and any outcomes we hope to have by the end of the session. You determine where we go. My role is to support you in determining steps toward your new, preferred narrative.

What is the difference between coaching, consulting, mentoring, and therapy?

Coaches: Uses inquiry and reflection to support increased self awareness, value alignment, and self-propelled solution finding.

Consultants: Provide advising, guidance and offer solutions based on expertise.

Therapists: Explore connections between past experiences and present day life and provide appropriate mental health support.

Mentors: Provide field/sector specific advising, identify opportunities for networking and professional learning, and support targeted growth and advancement goals.

Do we address items that aren't specifically "equity and inclusion" related?

Yes! Coaching sessions are yours to guide! You use our time to explore the ideas, challenges and opportunities that are most important to you!

The beauty of having a certified professional diversity coach is that we can also consider ways that identities, lived experiences and cultural understanding may be impacting your responses, relationships, and personal leadership practices.

Many clients use their sessions to focus on conflict management, navigating new or complicated circumstances, identifying and enforcing boundaries, and, even asking for support or new opportunities!

How do I encourage my employer to support coaching?

Coaching is a powerful way to support team members' growth and development. Coaching offers an opportunity to privately explore growth areas, consider options and solution find.

What are Brown.Noise Experiences?

Brown noise is ambient sound that lacks the high, sharp resonance of white noise. Like the dull rumble of wind and waves, brown noise creates a muffled blanket of sound that cocoons and soothes- even as storms rage. Its deeper and stronger frequency generates concentrated energy that supports intentional listening, focused contemplation, reflection and growth.

Inclusive leaders--especially those that navigate intersectional identities and nuanced lived experiences--face disproportionate levels of impact from bias interactions, social change movements and political shifts. We frequently bear the additional responsibility of supporting impacted people and groups.

Brown.Noise Experiences offer an opportunity to pause, silence the cacophony and co-create space for interconnection, community care, rejuvenation and REST.
