COACHING

One to One Coaching

Over the course of 6-12 sessions, we will collaborate on a program that is thoughtfully tailored to you, addressing your specific needs, individual path, and personal goals.

Whatever experiences or challenges you are bringing to our sessions, you and I will work together in a supportive partnership, allowing me to help facilitate the meaningful changes you wish to make in a way that brings all aspects of yourself forward for growth and transformation.

“I felt like I was finally being seen. I have more space to create meaning in the things I do.”

Group and Team Coaching

Using many of the same tools and methods traditionally brought to one-on-one coaching, working in a group setting allows for enhanced self-awareness, deep and meaningful conversation, and a profound sense of belonging to occur within a safe and supportive environment.

Clients, through this collaborative process, are together able to discover greater insights and make lasting changes in their lives, all through their shared experiences and open dialogue.

HOW I WORK

My approach is grounded in the Integral Coaching method - working with the head, heart and body, while also always staying practical.  

I also draw on my experience and diverse background as a lawyer, producer, artist, critical thinker, yoga instructor, father, son, brother, and husband - allowing me to bring a unique perspective and a broad set of tools to our work together.

I integrate mindfulness, meditation, journaling, music, poetry and other somatic practices into the work I ask my clients to do. These practices foster self-awareness, deep introspection, and a stronger mind-body connection. As your coach, my role is primarily that of a listener. While I won't provide you with ready-made solutions, I will equip you with the necessary tools to discover your own answers and develop in life-forward way. In short, this work isn’t just about self-improvement - it’s about self-development.

During our sessions, you can expect me to ask thought-provoking and challenging questions, but also to ask you and I to simply sit with what comes up. I believe that true growth occurs when we challenge our existing beliefs and step outside our comfort zones. I prioritize active listening and creating a safe space for you to express yourself freely. Sometimes, I may even listen more than I speak, allowing us the room to explore your circumstances and thoughts thoroughly. It’s in that space that the most work actually gets done.
 
And, while that work may sometimes be challenging, I challenge my clients because I genuinely care.

My intention is for you to feel and know that you can bring your whole self to your work and your relationships.

“Jordan has been my career coach, but more than that, my shield against the uncertainty of my near future. Jordan has guided me throughout this time with care and extreme patience. It has been a true privilege for me to have connected with him, and I highly recommend him, especially to people in creative industries.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • It might feel that way sometimes, but no. Coaching differs from therapy in a a number of important ways, namely - it is limited (i.e. we work for a set period of time); it is focused (i.e. we work towards specific outcomes); it is highly intentional (i.e. we are working from a program designed for you and you alone, and we stay on the path of that program); it is forward-looking (i.e. we are working towards future development, not rehashing your entire previous life - unless you really want to); and, coaching is not available to anyone - clients need to be developmentally ready to take on the work required of a coaching program.

  • While there is no strict way of working together, I tend to work with my clients for between 3 and 6 months at a time, usually speaking on a bi-weekly basis, and always providing ongoing insight into my client’s work and lives, and, offering practices that will allow my clients to continue to discover their own inner resourcefulness to implement meaningful development in their work and their lives. At the outset of our engagement, we’ll spend some time talking and getting to know each other, while I also listen for what I need to prepare a development program for you. From there, we co-create that program - your mission, your desired outcomes, and the tools and skills that we can work with together to get you there. At the end of our time together, I will leave you with a plan so you can continue to move forward in work and in life with continued competency, the means to self-correct, and a renewed commitment to your self.

  • My rates vary depending on whether I am working with an institutional client (i.e. an organization providing coaching for its teams or individual employees or team members), a single person, doing a speaking engagement, or providing other additional services in addition to coaching. That is all to say - I work with my clients to find the right cost that works for them and does not inhibit their ability to work with me and achieve their goals.

  • While I do, I find that lasting, meaningful change takes time, and I prefer to work with clients over a period of 3-6 months. Over that period, we track the changes that are made and really sense into the movement that is taking place toward intended outcomes. That all said - each person comes to me in their own circumstances and we can always find an arrangement that works to budget, schedule and other time limitations.

  • Life sometimes calls on us to change our plans, and that is OK. My goal is to make sure that, whether there is a pause placed on our work together, whether we have completed an engagement, or you simply have to stop - you are equipped with the skills and tools you need to continue in your own development going forward.

  • Both!

  • Typically, I work with my clients for a period of 3-6 months (between 10 and 12 sessions). Lasting and meaningful change takes time and practice and it is important to create a container for us to work within that allows enough space for that to occur.

  • Let’s talk and find out. Some of my favourite conversations are with potential clients who are coming to me and not sure whether they need coaching or if we’ll be a good fit. That’s why I prefer to spend time speaking and knowing, for both of us, whether we can work together and co-create a program that point you towards the outcomes you are looking for.

  • If you ask me, of course it does.

    But don’t take it from me.

    One study showed that psychologically informed coaching approaches (like Integral Coaching) facilitated effective work-related outcomes, particularly on goal attainment, self-efficacy, goal attainment and internal self-regulation.

    Additionally, integrative coaching approaches facilitated better outcomes, including coachees' psychological well-being.

    Others have shown that clients reported increased self-awareness and clarity of thought, more solidly built leadership skills, the achievement of organisational or professional goals, better work/life balance, improved relationships and a greater sense of purpose, values and self.
