Upwind, a marker is placed on a sailboat race course

A captain strategizes a zig-zag pathway with a navigator’s guidance to reach the marker because a sailboat cannot go directly upwind

As a coach when acting as a navigator, I help clients chart their transition pathways (sometimes zig-zag) for choosing their responses to external influences (just as a captain responds to uncontrollable conditions of wind, waves and opponents, with guidance from a navigator)

and

help clients harness their core internal energy (just as a captain tactically adjusts sails and boat positions)

Final pathway decisions rest with

the captain, in sailing

the client, in coaching

Navigation guidance is offered to

a captain, in sailing

a client, in coaching

Simply: I help individuals chart, pursue, and navigate transition pathways towards thriving with capacity fueled by core energy
