WELCOME TO MBR COACHING
MBR Coaching is a coaching company specializing in Career Development and Life Transition coaching. MBR Coaching is directed by Marci B. Rinkoff, CPCC (Certified Professional Co-Active Coach) who has been creating process improvement and success strategies in the corporate and nonprofit sectors for fifteen years. Marci collaborates with other coaches and consultants in the design and delivery of group workshops. Individuals and organizations utilizing MBR Coaching services benefit from a variety of coaching and business tools such as the CTI Co-Active Coaching model, behavioral assessments, quality management techniques, creativity programs, and career counseling. The coaching is conducted primarily on the phone or in person if the client lives in the Bay Area. Workshops are delivered in person.

WHAT IS COACHING?
Imagine a relationship where the total focus is on you, on what you want in your life, and on what will help you achieve it. This is a coaching relationship. There is no other relationship in our lives that offers this extraordinary level of support and encouragement. It is a powerful alliance designed to forward and enhance the lifelong process of human learning, effectiveness and fulfillment.

Coaching is quickly becoming one of the leading tools that major corporations and individuals use to become successful. As your coach, I keep the focus on what you want, personally and professionally, and support you in achieving the life you dream about. I explore with you to clarify what is most important to you and develop practical and creative strategies to reach your goals. I will challenge you to look at yourself honestly and to use your strengths in developing tools that can apply to areas of life including business, career, finances, recreation, health and relationships. We will also look at any obstacles that may block you from achieving success and a purposeful life. For some, this experience takes on a much larger, spiritual meaning as they become more connected to the world around them. Because it is action based (expect homework assignments), your self-development accelerates and you will achieve results faster than if you were on your own.

WHO HIRES A COACH?
Major corporations such as Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investments, and Cap Gemini Ernst & Young are hiring professional coaches to work with executives and teams. People making life changes and entrepreneurs are also common clients in the coaching world. Regardless of their professional endeavor or place in life, all of my clients have one thing in common: they are all ready to get more out of their lives. Think of someone successful and you will find that they had coaches who encouraged, supported and challenged them to achieve their greatest potential. Coaching is like having a personal trainer for your life!

GETTING STARTED
To start the coaching process, please contact me for a 30 minute complimentary phone session to experience coaching and determine if I’m the right coach for you. I will not try to sell you. Once we determine that we’d like to proceed, our next step is to begin with an overview of your goals, needs, challenges, values and expectations of each other. This is conducted on the phone or in person, if in the Bay Area. From there, our coaching sessions are conducted on the phone (yes, this actually works), usually four times a month. I will periodically meet clients in person if they live in the Bay Area. From time to time, I provide special events for my clients such as coaching retreats, teleconferences and workshops.

As your coach, I will:
• Abide by a professional code of ethics and standards
• Support you and challenge you to reach your goals
• Focus on what YOU want
• Show you what’s right with you instead of wrong
• Be your partner for getting the life you desire
• Identify your strengths
• Help you remove barriers to success
• Ask you to do more than you may have done on your own
• Keep the focus on your goals
• Provide you with the tools, support and structure to accomplish more
• Be honest and completely authentic
• Lend fun and creativity when the time calls for it

HOW IS COACHING DIFFERENT FROM THERAPY OR CONSULTING?
Coaching is not therapy, which goes into great depth about various issues, often dealing with the past. Nor is it consulting which generally results in giving answers. Coaching is more action-oriented and focuses on WHERE ARE YOU NOW? and WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO FROM HERE? As a team, we will look at what’s working and what isn’t, and develop a strategy for sustainable success. As your coach, I enable you to determine your own answers as we explore your life together.
