The Porch-Coaching and Consulting

"The Porch" may seem like an odd name for a Coaching and Consulting business, but it was chosen very carefully.

I grew up in the deep south of the United States, where the porch is a standard fixture on most homes.  It was on the porch at my grandmother's house that I heard many stories from my father, my uncle and my grandmother.  The porch was a place of life sharing, storytelling,  and dreams.

Though I now live in a much cooler climate, the features that most attracted me to our current home was the front and back porch, particularly the covered back porch that runs the length of our house.

It is sitting with friends and family on these porches that I have heard many dreams, hopes, and plans.  It has been a  place of meditation, focusing and refining for me.

I believe good coaching and consulting does not have to be scary or stiff.  I actually believe that when the coaching and consulting processes are approached carefully, they can seem as comfortable as sitting on the porch sharing dreams and hopes with a close friend.

Thus the name "The Porch".
