Coaching  

Coaching is a dynamic process in which individuals are assisted in drawing upon their strengths and resources to understand and reconcile undesired behavior and difficult situations. My work focuses on the points of view that have shaped a person’s responses within a given set of circumstances and identifies those behaviors that are problematic. This awareness creates an opening to explore alternative ways of dealing with life’s challenges. New strategies and interventions can then be initiated to accomplish desired goals and aspirations.  

Services Offered

Individual, couples, marriage and family coaching with a special emphasis on relationship building, interpersonal skills development, reducing the effects of trauma, teaching parenting skills and designing specialized parenting interventions.

Payment for services is based on a standard fee of $60 per hour or a sliding scale arrangement. Please call for an appointment at (541) 292-8700 and schedule an initial session so we can meet, clarify your particular concerns and begin the coaching process. I provide services via Zoom or in person. If you reside locally and prefer a face-to-face session, we can meet at your desired location. I do not conduct my practice out of a private office at this time.

Testimonials

Tim Kelly, Attorney

I’ve known John Del Signore for over 40 years. He has always been an energetic advocate for human development and environmental consciousness. His book, The Passionate Earth, is an astounding testament to his dedication to preserving the integrity of the Earth for future generations and stands as a demonstration of the depth and breadth of his knowledge on many subjects. He is project oriented and is tireless and creative when it comes to achieving goals and solving problems. On a personal note, John’s guidance on a cross-country bicycling campaign I was launching shortly after we first met, was instrumental in assuring its success. Without his participation, I am certain that the project would never have come to fruition. I highly recommend John Del Signore. He will be an asset to a team effort or in the role of a skilled life skills coach and consultant.
