SERVICE | APPROACH
AC&I + A PERSON-CENTERED LENS
I make it a point to ALWAYS take into account the person in front of me. The truth is, you are the expert of your life. In observing this. Over the years of working with others to support or encourage growth, I noticed that there are always 3 values tied to a persons self-image which ultimately impacts their task completion or goal-creation. This is where the name derives: AC&I - Authenticity, Candor, and Integrity. Why these three? Because each one of them on their own is a coveted trait and/or skillset to have when operating in many personal, professional and relational capacities (obviously if you are a spy or whatnot you may disagree). Regardless, it is a combination of these values that I am looking at, paired with a person-centered lens that we can achieve your goals together.
This means I will not be talking at you, lecturing you, or requiring you to listen to the melodious sound of my voice for a long duration of time. Instead, it means I will be challenging you, providing supportive suggestions and allowing you to have a mirror into how you approach people, tasks and perspectives. This is a very collaborative, yet personalized approach I take for each person I work with. If all this sounds right up your alley - let’s talk. If you’re unsure - a free consult doesn’t bite. If I’m not your cup of tea - that’s fine, sometimes instead of tea, coffee will do the trick. I appreciate you regardless of our outcome and I have some items below so take a gander.
Be 100% you. Whether it’s a staff member, supervisor or client, it is always apparent when you are not being real or even masking to get-by. This is a part of my approach because I believe every single person has a way of putting the best parts of themselves into the work they do or the lives they lead.
Knowing you are not compromising yourself allows you to be more open to change, processes and perspectives that previously may have felt intimidating.
As my service name would suggest, candor calls on us in some of the best and challenging ways. Honesty is often the best policy, especially in a world of misinformation and masking. At times, we can rely on out masks to the point of forgetting who we are when we try to describe our core self to others. Communication is already hard enough - right?
Ultimately - friends, colleagues and clients will appreciate your candor and transparency more often than not. Does this mean you give people the cut and dry - no. What it does mean however, is that you become more intentional with how you are communicating to others in an honest yet meaningful way. You will find that both your environment and your inner conscious feel lighter.
If I don’t practice what I preach I wouldn’t make for a good consult or coach. Each indivudal has an entire experience, from start to finish. This experience is about pushing yourself in new ways and allowing yourself the grace learn and stumble along the way. As stated above, you will have my full 100% presence and we will find the plan that works best for you.
