Coaching by Bruce

A mentor brings real-life experience and points out the quicksand in your path. A coach uses tested methodologies and frameworks for sustainable change. As your mentor-coach, I draw upon my whole life and career experience – as a person, a friend, a husband, a parent, an employee, a boss, an executive coach – and offer that to you. During many coaching sessions, I’ve observed times when formal coaching questions (“how would such a result make you feel?”) caused frustration – because the client really needed someone to share real-life experience (“going around your boss is not a good idea”). For a while, I announced that I was switching hats from “coach” to something else, but that just gets tiresome. So, I am just going to be Bruce. I draw from my corporate leadership experience and my executive coaching education. The result has been a very authentic coach-client partnership.
