Foundations-Focused Coaching

The foundatioNal systems your work rests on are vital to your success, both personally and professionally.

Too often, we lament not having enough of time, enough sitting still, all the while allowing our technology tools and task list to be our bosses. We feel frazzled, elbows on the kitchen counter holding our phones, aimlessly wandering and never getting to the necessary tasks at hand, all the while wishing that at the end of the day we were taking a walk or sitting on the couch, taking deep breaths. We can see the goal, the rest in view from where we lean, but the tool we were given, promised to make life easier, keeps getting in the way. Because we allow it.

I’m reminded of how children love to say “You’re not the boss of me!” and want to scream it at my phone sometimes.

Well, your phone isn’t the boss of you, you are. But are you leading yourself well?

I want to ask you this question that I regularly ask myself:

What do you need to put in place for yourself to keep the goal, more time and freedom, in mind?

Friday is our name because we are working with a weekend mindset: working to live, rather than living to work. And it’s because of that mindset that we do what we do. We want to help you build the foundations and systems of your work in such a way that you can live your life with freedom. Freedom to close the computer at the end of the day. Freedom to go on vacation leaving your laptop at home. Freedom to be successful in your work without sacrificing your real life. Balance is not what we’re working toward here, we are aiming to keep priorities where they belong.

Some days the list needs to say “Catch up.” Some days, it should say “Rest.” You don’t need to qualify either.

For all of these reasons, my approach to working with leaders and business owners is what I call Foundations-Focused Coaching. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your work, I can help you find clarity in your next steps. Your work matters, but without the right foundational tools, you’ll lose opportunities and work less efficiently.

Whether you’re seeking your dream job, aspiring to grow in your current role, or looking to move your small business forward, we’d love to partner with you and move your work forward, together.

I am committed to helping you build structure to support your work in ways that make sense to you as an individual so that your work makes sense for you.
