For you · One-to-one coaching

You don’t have to see the whole path to take the next step.

A life change, a difficult decision, or a quiet sense that something needs to shift. Coaching gives you space to explore what matters and work out what comes next.

Start with your real life

What are you working through?

Something is changing.

A career move, retirement, a business shift, or stepping into—or out of—leadership. You may be wondering what you want from the next chapter.

Your priorities feel different.

You want to reconsider your wellbeing, how you spend your time, or what deserves more attention in your life.

A decision keeps circling.

You have several possible directions and need room to examine your options, assumptions, and the trade-offs involved.

A conversation, not a prescribed answer

Space to think. Support to move forward.

You bring the question or complicated situation. Together, we make space to understand it, notice what matters, and explore what may be getting in the way.

Careful listening, thoughtful questions, reflection, decision-making exercises, and brainstorming can help you see possibilities from a different angle. You remain the person choosing your direction.

How we begin

Start where you are.

  1. Talk about what you need.

    An introductory conversation gives us a chance to discuss your goals and the support you’re looking for. Structure, timing, and fees are discussed together.

  2. Explore the question.

    We look at priorities, assumptions, options, and trade-offs. There is room to think things through rather than rush toward an answer.

  3. Choose a practical next step.

    Turn reflection into something you can try, investigate, or change, with accountability where it is useful.

A few questions you may have

Do I need to know exactly what I want?

No. You may simply know that something needs to change, or that you would like a clearer view of the bigger picture. That can be the starting point.

Is this a one-off conversation or ongoing support?

Focused, short-term support can help with a particular decision or next step. Longer-term coaching offers continuity as a transition unfolds. We agree on an approach that fits your needs.

Who will I be working with?

You’ll work with Charisse Deschenes, EMBA, NBC-HWC, a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach with more than 20 years of executive and organizational leadership experience. Meet Charisse.

About the scope of coaching: reflection and everyday decisions. Therapy, medical treatment and crisis care fall outside this work.

What would make the time meaningful?
