You helped me decide what to keep, what to let go of, where to focus – gave me good input at critical moments when I had several things in front of me at once.

"Both job interviews this week went much better today than any time previously. I felt much more calm and prepared, I know I aced most of the questions and at least did really well on all the other ones. Now I don't have to wonder if there was one question I answered 'wrong' that's going to bounce me from those jobs, and they're both great jobs that I hope will give me a second interview. Thanks, the time you spent going over the structure of the interview and then practicing with me really made a difference I could feel the whole time I was in each of those job interviews."
— Public Relations Executive

"I got the second interview! And I used everything we went over in the coaching session. I was interviewed by two recruiters, and the 15-minute initial session went an additional 15 minutes. Now I'm meeting with the Vice President, and I just want to review salary negotiation and a few other fine points. I wanted you to know that."
— Marketing/Training Administrative Assistant for Large Commercial Bank

What
Happens in
Coaching with
David Glober? |
|
As a Mentor Coach once said to me, it's not rocket science, and yet, I provide something that's missing in many people's lives - real attention to what works best for you. It's a combination of mirroring, validating, active listening, exploring, digging deep, making light of things that are dark, empathizing, acknowledging, discovering options, exploring options, combining options, rising to challenges, creating a support system, expanding a support system, determining when to make changes, when to make the best of what is already in place for you, when and how to make advances or expand.
For career coaching clients, the process often involves looking at 3 to 5 or more examples of: What you wanted to be when you grew up when you were very young, what you dream of now that seems impossible but wonderful, what skills and talents you know you have going for you, what other people say about your capabilities and how they see you in your work life, what education could help, what career fields you would like to explore, and what overall life scenarios including work you can imagine to help you move forward.
Sometimes it's simply a matter of combining two or three elements you do have going for you, that you are interested in, and doing so in new and creative ways.
For leadership and organizational clients it's about understand that combination of vision, initiative, articulation, communication, delegation and follow-through that takes a team on a path or course they wouldn't otherwise take without that leader. Or it's about having voices heard at the table in ways that synergize all possible energies, get every one on the same page, and move forward with identifiable action items. And as with career coaching, it's a lot about options - exploring, discovering, utilizing, prioritizing, straegizing - and looking ahead two or three or even five layers deep - with flexibility, purpose and promise.
For life coaching clients, it's about what a complete life can be for you, even in a tough economy. What do you want to learn and contribute? What's your legacy? What's your path to greater confidence and contentment? How do people see you? How would you like people to see you? How do you close the gap? How you increase communication or intimacy skills? How you develop hands-on or thinking or envisioning skills? How do you make decisions? How do allow decisions to even come into view to be made? What is the relationship for you between heart and mind, feeling and thinking, knowing and doing, making mistakes and moving forward? How does the past help you in the present? How does the future create the present you most want to live and experience with others? How do education, skill, work, love and life all fit together, for you? Top ^ |

Rates
& Fees |

Rates and fees are typically based on an hourly rate of $75 to $85. An initial get-acquainted phone consultation is free and usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes. An initial meeting is billed typically at $60 for up to 90 minutes. After that, a subscription model is used, at $400 to $600 a month, sliding scale, based on affordability. The monthly fee covers from 5 to 7 hours of consultation by phone, in person, by email, or by online chat. Subscription fees are paid in advance. For those clients who can only meet occasionally, the hourly fee is due at the time of meeting. Top ^ |

Where - How
Do We Meet? |
|
Many Coaching sessions are by phone, and some Clients I have never met in person. I also meet with Clients at my home - office, or at nearby cafés. I live and work in the eastern part of San Francisco, with a view of the Downtown Financial District, near the Oakland Bay Bridge and Highways 280 and 101. Top ^ |

Job
Interviews |
|
Interview coaching takes you beyond memorizing answers to the 120+ possible interview questions. You'll learn and practice a very natural structure for the interview process. The points in this article can help you make the transition from second guessing how the employer may be second guessing you, into a more conversational and collaborative interview experience, and a clearer sense of the steps and stages of the interview process at that organization and for that opening.
Practicing interviews in role play can help you even further, of course, but reading the following can be a really good place to start in shifting how interviews go for you and getting you past figuring out after the interview what bright thing you might have said in response to that one seemingly trick question!

Coaching:
Business or
Profession? |
|
Life and Career Coaching are still relatively new; people still are finding out how it compares or contrasts to therapy; coaching also comes in as many styles and flavors as there are coaches. Recently, I have been invited to numerous workshops to clarify that I don't have a professional practice, I have a business. I find this really unfortunate. What I find unfortunate is the idea that these areas have to be separate; they don't have to be and can't be.
Coaches need to have a plan, need to know whom they best serve, need to be paid for their time. That's the business part. But coaching also involves careful building of steps and connecting dots in ways that are specific and personal to the Client. That's the professional part. And professionals hopefully, continually get better at what they do. That's the practice part. Top ^ |

Privacy &
Confidentiality |
|
Before I became a Coach, I used to tell people I wouldn't have time to gossip about what they'd told me about themselves, because some one else would be showing up right about then to confide something else. For a long time people have told me that they've shared things with me they hadn't opened up to people who had known them for years. On the other hand, this is a not uncommon experience for me, and while I don't take it for granted, I don't have much to prove or brag about in this area; it's been part of my life for a long, long time.
I do feel that what people share with me in a Coaching session - is more or less sacred. It's not just the story lines or personal revelations – the sharing itself is special. In addition to that, I agree with the importance of protecting privacy in every way. I never use any one's name who hasn't told me to do so, and I never rent or sell any names or addresses for mailing lists. Top ^ |
