What Clients Say About Coach Ginger

"I initially contacted Ginger Cockerham (almost exactly two years ago), on the advise of a colleague, with some skepticism. As an experienced psychotherapist I was unsure how coaching could be different, and sure I didn't need a therapist. But I was struggling trying to find a way to transition into thinking of myself as a "writer" (rather than as a psychologist and "writer wannabe"), and my colleague noted that Ginger had worked with other writers.

My skepticism was quickly resolved. Ginger approached our coaching in a well-organized, thoughtful way. She gathered useful assessment information, listened effectively, helped me clarify objectives, and suggested useful assignments. Most impressive (to an experienced psychotherapist) was her ability to adjust her approach to my interests and abilities, and to keep me on track when I wandered afield. Finally, she handled my recent "graduation" from coaching thoughtfully and professionally.

I found Ginger to be consistently supportive and affirming, but still able to express concern and redirect my attention toward my goals. She was consistently professional, but still able to be "personal" (a skill I value and work on in my practice).

Over the past two years I have made significant shifts in my self-identity, now recognizing myself both a good psychologist and a good "young" writer. I have identified a variety of "writer" resources, both in my community and nationally, and have begun to connect with other area writers. I have produced a small body of work, and have had a lengthy personal essay published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. I think it is safe to say that most of these achievements would not have occurred (and certainly not this rapidly) without her assistance.

Although our coaching relationship has ended I continue to value Ginger as a friend. I have begun recommending coaching to clients encountering career or life-transitional concerns, and would certainly recommend Ginger to anyone looking for this kind of help."

"After discussing the situation with Ginger, my fearless all-knowing coach, I gained a sense of clarity that would see me through the next meeting with poise and confidence. Ginger helped me not only with the hard numbers of the deal, but also with the intangible nuances of people's personalities and attitudes, particularly those that come up during tense business deals. With Ginger's advice, I locked in on exactly what it was I wanted out of the deal, and more importantly, what I would compromise in order to make sure I left that meeting with nothing but what I wanted."

"I am a great example of the effectiveness of Ginger's coaching. Before we started coaching, I would not leave my business for more than two days. I just returned from a two week cruise in the Virgin Islands with my wife. I have put systems in place, with Ginger's help, so my business runs well when I am away."
