Group coaching helps build meaningful connections, shift mindsets, and expand self-awareness through both direct and vicarious coaching experiences, all while helping individuals navigate specific challenges.

CURRENT GROUPS

Transitioning into the Workforce

The first several years after college can be challenging and a little disorienting. (And likely no one warned you.) This is a group for those who want to navigate this transition with more awareness, intention, and support.

Transitioning out of Athletics

Graduating from college can be even more challenging for athletes, with the sudden loss of structure, community, and motivation. This is a group for former college athletes to come together and navigate this transition together and with support.

HEY, I’M ABBIE.

I was your quintessential oldest-sibling-people-pleasing-growth-oriented-move-a-million-miles-an-hour-hyper-achiever. I was a Division 1 college athlete and wired not to ask for help or acknowledge pain. Being an athlete was my identity, and when that was lost - once during a months-long injury and then more permanently when I graduated - I had to figure out who I was on a much deeper level. I went to grad school for applied positive psychology and became a certified coach partly to understand how I could help others do the same. Whether you’re becoming a first-time team leader or parent, transitioning out of college athletics or theater, know what challenge you’re facing or just feel stuck, my work can support you.

FAQs

  • Coaching is a process and relationship that is motivated by change, grounded in action, and driven by exploration. Coaches ask thought-provoking questions that help you build awareness, perspective, and understanding, and then work with you to design a plan of action rooted in the insights you gain. Goal-setting and goal-pursuit are critical parts of coaching, both because they help you move through a challenge and because they help illuminate other important growth areas along the way.

  • Group coaching involves individuals who aren’t otherwise connected and may be anchored on a topic or theme that is shared among them. Group coaching may involve individual coaching that is observed by group members as a vicarious learning experience, and it my also involve provocative questions posed by group members to one another.

  • Group coaching is for individuals who aren’t connected other than by sharing a focus topic or theme, and learning happens on the individual level. Team coaching, however, is for members of the same team, and the coaching focus is on the team level - the culture, dynamics, roles, and communications between and among members.

  • My work supports a variety of both professional and personal growth for individuals and teams, including confidence, presence, and leadership skills throughout several stages of life, from the transition into the workforce to leading a team for the first time. A client may want to work through a leadership challenge, build conflict resolution skills with a peer, or discuss parenting strategies. I’m here for it all.

  • Everyone has different criteria for what they want in a coach, but it’s important to note that a good coach for you is one with whom you connect. Trust and safety are critical in a coaching relationship, so you should feel like you can have honest conversations and like your coach will both support you and push you throughout the process.

    It’s also important to note that a good coach may not necessarily have a background similar to yours - that’s okay. This isn’t critical for building perspective or expanding thinking. If you sense it is important to you, you may think about getting a mentor or advisor instead.

  • I typically coach young professionals - individuals and teams - in high-intensity corporate careers, from the internship phase (sophomore summer) through the first few years of leading a team for the first time. If you don’t fit this profile, it doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t be a good coach for you - the methodology I was trained in is applicable to many demographics. Reach out anyway, and if I’m not the best fit, I can help find someone who is.

  • Coaching engagements can be structured in a variety of ways - number of sessions, number of months, or total duration. I tend to offer 6- and 10-session packages with 2- and 4-session extensions but can adjust to whatever my client needs.

  • I meet with clients at any cadence from twice a week to once a month. The frequency of meetings depends on the client’s needs and the duration of the engagement, and it’s always a balance of maintaining momentum while allowing time for the practical work that happens outside our sessions to be done. Sessions last between one and two hours, with team sessions tending toward being two hours. Clients may have sessions of varying frequencies and durations within their engagement.
