"Between stimulus and response, there is space.
In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lives our growth and our freedom."

Coaching is where we carve that space to think consistently, bravely and strategically to convert dreams into goals , goals into actions and actions into reality.

4 Guiding Principles
1
IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WHERE YOU ARE, MOVE!

Change is hard yet inevitable whether it stems from deliberate strategic planning, as we all appreciate, or arises out of nowhere catching us off guard. And in both situations, here at SPES we will guide you through a comprehensive assessment of your change criteria, craft a change roadmap with you and ensure a successful path forward.
CLARITY IS POWER
Focus, focus, focus! We will work with you to eliminate what is not critical and we will teach you a powerful toolkit to clarify your vision and sharpen your focus.

NO PAIN, NO GAIN
At SPES, we do not believe in shortcuts when it comes to successful and meaningful careers. We believe in strategic and intentional work as well as science-based methods and closely monitored coaching objectives.

IF YOU KNOW THE "WHY", THE "HOW" IS EASY
At SPES, we truly believe that understanding the underlying motivation behind your career goals is the key to navigating the path towards success. We will equip you with coaching strategies to establish your “why” for a profound understanding of your purpose. Once we have this, the “how” will follow!
Working with SPES helped me understand my priorities and make an effective plan to reposition myself towards my goals.
