The first step in any coaching relationship is a discovery call. You’ll have a chance to ask questions, get a sense of my approach, and see if we might be a good fit.

Most of my sessions are conducted via Zoom. For folks local to me in Vermont, I also hold sessions in-person sessions.

I work with many principles. Here are a few:

Truth: I will be the most honest person in your life, and I will support you in being honest with yourself. The willingness to be honest with oneself is actually a radical act. It’s the first step in true self-awareness and can powerfully change your results in the world.
It begins with a vision: If you can dream it, it enters the realm of possibility (and if you can’t envision it… you will be stuck with the default outcome.
Connection: We accomplish more with the support of others. Through the relationship of coaching, more becomes possible.
Ownership: When we own the way we show up, the actions we take, and the results we get, we create the foundation for transformation.
Emotions matter: Sometimes, we don’t need a new plan or a new way of thinking but, rather, a way to feel what’s already here. Our emotions hold tremendous wisdom.
We can change: Each of us has the power to live the life we desire.

What I had heard about the traditional model for life coaching didn’t seem to be the right fit for me. But my first interaction with Zachary’s coaching style was so meaningful, deep, and personal that it opened my eyes to the possibilities of what a coach could offer me. I immediately received incredible insights and was excited to try the practices he taught me. He was able to effortlessly combine wisdom and structure with vulnerability and compassion. His systems provided me with insight into both personal and interpersonal aspects of my life while also creating a container for professional and material goal setting and achievement. Working with Zachary is a great fit for someone who is seeking more than just Band-Aids — someone who is interested and willing to get to the root cause of the things that are holding them back or making them feel stuck — someone who is looking for both actionable items, and also deeper meaningful practices that speak to the whole person.

“Zachary is the most impactful coach I have ever met! He walks his talk and really lives into the deep, introspective questioning that he brings forward in his work. Zachary has a settledness, a spaciousness really, that makes room for going slowly and listening deeply. You couldn't be in better hands.”

Kendra W.
"Zachary has a grounded, caring presence and helps by asking pertinent questions during a session to assist his clients in what they can do NOW to align with their future visions. He offers encouraging reflections and clear feedback.”

Lori F.
“Before my work with Zachary, I was struggling with an issue that I've dealt with throughout my adult life. I was feeling frustrated and lost. Zachary has a beautiful way of welcoming every part of me, in a way that helps me welcome those parts more myself. Through deep listening, insightful inquiry, and playful humor, I've discovered pathways I hadn't dreamed were possible.”

Frances I.
“One of my favorite things about Zachary is his spaciousness. I feel very attuned to. His ability to see threads and commonalities is a way that had me feeling surprised. His reflections and pattern recognition are incredibly strong and supportive in helping me be the person I want to be... My favorite insight [from my time with Zachary] is that everything I need is right here. This is a mission and core essence of my life.”

Abigail R.
“I began working with Zachary around an interest in a career change and wanting to bring more fulfillment into my life. I was amazed at how quickly and effectively the coaching brought about change. Within a couple of months, I had started online classes to explore career interests, gotten a raise and more schedule flexibility at my current job, and begun bringing more social connections and non-work interests into my life. Zachary's methods not only helped me form tangible goals but also clarified how I wanted my life to feel as I journeyed through it.”
