Julie Anson Schaefer’s Experience

Employee dynamics

Lexmodus

(Privately Held; Professional Training & Coaching industry)

July 2008 — Present (1 year 5 months)

Certified Coach in Minneapolis St Paul for group and individual dynamics, Julie Schaefer CLCP. My clients find that small changes significantly improve outcomes. Each coaching follows four steps:

PRESENCE: Structures attention and focus.

DISCOVERY: Client presents what's going on.

TRANSFORMATION: An exercise that evolves a shift or an "Ah HA."

MASTERY: Accountabilities and time frame to integrate what was learned.

Do I tell clients what to do? Simply: no. That's why I can coach members of all professions. From being questioned in a supportive and positive way, the client can determine the next steps and is motivated to move forward.
