The interview
Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Diana Clarke and I am an executive coach and HR consultant and I live in Carlsbad, California.
What was your situation before you started working with Karen Davis?
Before I met Karen I had worked with a number of coaches over the years and I wasn't really getting what I needed out of the experience. So, I went on a search looking for a new coach and I found Karen almost three years ago and began working with her.
Did you have any concerns about working with her, and how did you know she was the right fit?
I didn't have any concerns about working with Karen. I knew that she was the right fit for me. And the reason why I knew was because I had worked with other coaches in the past and I had a better idea of what I was looking for. So when I met her and talked with her I felt very comfortable and we had several sessions where I got to know her and she got to know me, where I could see that we would be a good fit together.
What made you trust Karen and decide to work with her?
The thing that made me trust Karen and decide to work with her was, number one, she had extremely high standards in how she ran her own coaching practice and as a coach myself, I could really look to her as a role model. I felt that she had high standards of excellence and she was also very approachable and easy to talk to.
How have the Accelerator programs impacted your practice?
The Accelerator programs that I went through with Karen, have been really instrumental in helping me build my coaching practice over time. So, every year I go and I meet with her and do the Accelerator and that helps me advance my perception of my own growth as a coach and how I'm going to build my practice into the future.
What is particularly valuable about Karen's coaching style?
Something that was particularly valuable in working with Karen is, me being able to see my progress and my capabilities through her eyes. She's somebody that's very supportive and really helps me see where I'm growing and how I'm advancing to make sure that I'm celebrating the things that I'm doing well and that I'm getting better.
What specific skills have you improved since working with Karen?
Things I can do now that I'm better at than I was before I was working with Karen is, I have a lot more confidence in enrolling my clients and managing the issues that come up over the course of time as I'm in working relationship with them. In addition, really just settling into business ownership and being an entrepreneur and owning my own company.
