Welcome to GrowthWorks Coaching!
Moving Into a Space of Growth and Depth
Hi! My name is Michael Schwartz. I’m a certified integral coach, and I’m glad you’re here. If you’ve landed on this site, you may have a lot of questions, and my hope is that this is a warm and welcoming place that invites us into a coaching conversation. So let’s begin the conversation, shall we?
Perhaps your first question is externally focused. You’re here, and you want to know more about what I’m all about, and whether or not we’re a good fit. Perfectly reasonable. Let’s go there.
Who Am I?
Well, that’s really the big question for all of us, isn’t it? In my lived experience, there are so many ways I’ve manufactured an identity to answer that question. Broadcast news reporter, documentary filmmaker. Small business owner, ice cream scooper, pizza maker and census taker. All of these descriptions have been true, and they are all in my past. What about my present? I invite you to read more about me and my journey here.
Or you may prefer to linger on this current page and learn more about me later. Totally understandable, because there may be an even bigger question that brings you to coaching. Something more internally focused. It comes down to those three words, and that essential question that moves us…
Who Are You?
What are the themes bubbling through your life? What is it that brings you to coaching? Perhaps you feel stuck. Perhaps you feel adrift. Or perhaps you feel out of touch with your true self. Perhaps you’re not really sure about who that true self is, and you feel you may not be showing up in the world the way you want to show up in the world.
In that case, let’s take that deeper dive and explore why coaching can work for you.
Staying on this home page a bit longer. I get that. Perhaps the real question for you is just ahead.
Does Coaching Really Work?
Yes! Okay, so you kind of knew I was going to say that, didn’t you? Talking about the value of coaching is kind of my thing. Instead, I invite you to explore what some of my clients say about entering a coaching conversation with me.
Ready to talk and explore those possibilities for yourself?
So Let’s Talk About It
The path to progress begins with the practice of being true to who we are, and the fact you’re here exploring that possibility is a step we should honor. I’d like to begin a conversation with you about this. That’s me, extending a hand and inviting you to join me.
How to take that next step? Contact me.
An Offering and an Invitation
You may be familiar with the phrase, “practice makes perfect.” I invite you to consider a reframing. As you move into an exploration of coaching, try this phrase on for size.
Practice Makes Possible
How does that phrase land with you? A little softer? A bit more forgiving? A touch closer to truth? If so, welcome to coaching! You’re already on your way.
