Gaining clarity and purpose through unusual circumstances

If you have been called to jury duty, you know that this can upend your life. It can be a very rewarding, but also isolating experience. It's true, during the trial you are not allowed to talk about details of the trial and so many people feel that they are not allowed to start with their reflection journey until after the trial is over. However, coaching can still be beneficial at that early stage, helping you clarify questions such as: 

• How do I handle being away from work for weeks at a time? How do I successfully download my responsibilities and set up those that report to me or work with me for success? 
• How do I prepare for the emotional trauma that jury duty can bring with it? What do I need to feel balanced and calm? 
• How do I balance my home life with the strain of jury duty? 

After the trial, you are allowed to talk about the trail, but not the deliberation. Working with a coach can be a powerful opportunity to reflect on some of the things that happened during the trial:

• What came up during the trial that you need to process to move on? 
• Has participating in the trial changed you in any way? Can you harness that change moving forward? 
• Returning to work from a long trial might feel like starting a job all over again. What are some of the things that you can put in place to make the transition as smooth as possible? 

I am a fully trained coaching with several years of experience in leadership coaching, currently working on my certification hours. Recently I was on a jury for an eight-week murder trial, which was a very powerful experience that has shaped me a lot more than I would have initially thought. It also made me realize that there are not enough support systems in place to help people being called to this important task. My goal is to help you best navigate this difficult time and come out of it stronger than ever. 

In this category I also offer group coaching to make it more affordable for clients.
