FAQ

Grammalog (or gramalogue, both are correct) literally translates from Greek as “word-letter.”

Stenographers use it as shorthand - a form of communication where one mark represents a whole word. It can also refer to a kind of “super metaphor” that cuts across multiple discourses.

It’s a symbol that unlocks new ways of seeing the world, which is what Grammalog Group helps our clients do.

Absolutely!

My coaching methods were designed to help corporate executives prioritize, set boundaries, make better decisions, and implement their visions across the organizations they lead.

These same tools are remarkably well-suited for helping many people who struggle with planning, problem-solving, organization, and time management. In fact, many clients who have ADHD report that Executive Coaching helps them address the root causes of their struggle, so they don’t feel like they are constantly putting out fires.

A lack of knowledge is rarely the problem for ADHD brains. The challenge is knowing which knowledge to act on and when and how to get yourself to act. This is what I will help you learn to navigate.

Did you know that one of the less talked about telltale signs of ADHD is chronic people-pleasing?

If you find yourself meeting other people’s expectations while neglecting to take care of yourself, I will help you move beyond the shame cycles of ADHD and find strategies that include healthy self-care.

As your executive coach, my goal is to help you get unstuck and unlock your potential.

When you’re stuck, this feeling often seeps into all areas of your life. All of your relationships may suffer when you don’t feel like the best version of yourself.

Some “life coaches” offer proprietary plans that keep you coming back for more.

My goal is to coach myself out of a job so that you can get on with your life.

My business depends on you getting back to you...not getting “stuck” on me.

The answer is...it depends.

It depends on how or where you’re stuck.

Many clients report feeling less stuck after the first session. Most clients who invest in the process make significant progress after one to two months of coaching.

Together, we will get your engine going in the direction you want as efficiently as possible.

We part ways when you feel unstuck and satisfied that you’re moving in the direction you want to go.

Coaching helps you find your developmental edge - the places where you can most rapidly accelerate growth. I ask new clients to make a three-month commitment for a couple of reasons:

It can take time to find your developmental edge.

This process can be initially unnerving. It’s important to stick with it for some time to see results.

Three months is enough time for most clients to see how the process works and determine how much they’re getting from it.

On the other hand, some clients get the results they’re looking for in less than three months. If you’re satisfied and feeling unstuck in a shorter amount of time, I’m happy to part ways with a smile.

We begin our partnership with an intake that lasts about two hours.

During this intake, we’ll come up with a meeting schedule that works for you.

Many clients find that every other week for one hour is the sweet spot.

Some clients prefer to meet more or less often or to have longer or shorter sessions.

Behavioral change is hard, and accountability helps.

Many clients ask for short check-ins via text message, phone, or email between sessions. We will discuss what’s right for you at our initial meeting.

Are you typically driven but feeling goalless?

Not knowing what you want is another hallmark sign of being stuck.

If you have a sense that these services might be helpful for you but aren’t sure how that’s something I can coach you through.

Coaching doesn’t diagnose or treat any psychiatric illnesses, but it can often alleviate depression and anxiety that are secondary effects of being stuck.

While coaching can be therapeutic, it’s not therapy. Coaching is future-focused and action-focused. It’s less concerned with how and why you’re stuck and more concerned with what thoughts and actions will help you to get you moving in the right direction.

Yes. Confidentiality is crucial to the process. Unless you reveal a specific plan to harm yourself or someone else, I will never reveal anything about what you say during our sessions to anyone without your express permission.
