I am extremely happy with your coaching services! You have helped me tremendously. My intention for having you coach me was to help me start my own practice and gratefully, I am on my way.

The best part about coaching is having someone knowledgeable, intuitive, committed and caring in my life consistently. To have someone that really listens and help with problem solving is invaluable. Thank you Christen! This is the best investment I make in myself every month.

Christen, You did an excellent job presenting your coaching skills material at your Denver Chamber of Commerce seminar. It was nice to attend a seminar that had some real substance and useful material that people can apply to their lives every day.

What Is Coaching?

Coaching is a relatively new professional service based on the philosophy that we are ALL discovering what we truly want, and that we can achieve a desired result faster and easier by having a coach who will support us, guide us, assist us in making important decisions and keep us moving forward. Coaching is about doing what you came here to do and being who you came here to be.

My Coaching Philosophy

I believe that people are capable of creating the life they dream of through persistence, a desire and willingness to grow, and with the strong support they truly deserve. With the correct mindset and a helathy dose of the right attitude, the ordinary person will accomplish extraordinary results. Therefore, a valuable part of what I do is share those proven-effective coaching concepts, tools and principles that help raise awareness and give people good things to think about, and then ACT on. My goal is that my clients find out what works well for them and then put their learning into everyday practice.

Understanding that my clients have their own answers, I appreciate my supprt role in their process of self-discovery and greater understanding. I do this by asking questions and listening, probably more closely and carefully than most people have experienced. I don't let my clients convince themselves of all the reasons they can't do something nor do I help them argue for their limitations. I coach best with people who come to coaching totally human, with all their mistakes, imperfections and insecurities, but who are also ready for something better,  willing to take full responsibility for their lives, and able to act on their values, priorities and dreams!

I started Benchmark Coaching with success in mind. And success is realized by anyone who is first willing to define it for herself, and then go after it. I enjoy being with people when success happens for them because of their own decision to make it happen. And success doesn't have to be that elusive thing that you wish for and hope to experience someday. You can live the dream today! You must simply decide to add the things that bring you joy and fulfillment and start removing the things that hold you back or drag you down. The partnership that develops between the coach and client is meaningful, exciting, and dynamic. Together, you and I will create a life and career path that suits you best. And I believeyour life will evolve as a result of the coaching process.

"Coaches can show us the way, like a map through a minefield…You can’t negotiate change in a vacuum. If you think you can do it alone, forget it. Fear makes it close to impossible to navigate choppy, muddy waters by ourselves. We all need other people whom we can trust and who can guide us to get what we like."
