The Coaching Center of Reston
At the Coaching Center of Reston, we believe that the knowledge and wisdom required to manifest your life is already within you.
My name is Pamela Leech, certified coach and founder of The Coaching Center of Reston.
Today, my life is inspired and joyful being a professional partner to men and women who want to take back possession of their lives and move forward.
My professional training and credentialing as a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) was completed at The Coaches Training Institute in San Rafael, CA, which is accredited by the International Coach Federation. This credentialing process was extraordinary involving more than 125 hours of training and classroom work and completion of 750 hours of client coaching.
My coaching protocol includes many tools and skills covering eleven core competencies, laced with a keynote competency in the art of inquiry.
Our coaching services and seminars are designed to re-connect you with your internal guidance system and to train you in self-leadership. We’re here to help you use the wisdom within you to discover, create and maintain your own best life.
Why This is Important
“In trying to please other people, we lose our hold on our life’s purpose.”
—Epictetus
As babies, we know instinctively what’s right for us. Growing up, we are trained to distrust that inner voice. We learn to seek the approval of others, strive to make them happy and try to live up to “the others” expectation of us. We turn ourselves inside out to be “good” people, to make the “right” decisions, to be “successful.” We work so hard to do a million things we believe we should do. But truth be told, we know there is something false about all this.
Time passes and our inner voice grows faint. But, make no mistake, it does not leave us. The good news? Reconnecting to that voice can define an incredibly potent new notion of self-trust and personal power.
Doing so could change your life. We are here to help you do just that.
An Authentic Partnership, Geared To Your Accomplishments
If change were easy, there would be no need for a coach. Our process starts by pinpointing your greatest obstacle to change. We call these “entry points”.
As your personal coach, I provide you with a dynamic, co-active partnership. That means a commitment to hear you, to understand your goals and dreams and to understand the obstacles you perceive standing in your way.
It also means that you have my time, dedication and skill, all oriented to helping you unlock the tremendous power within you. Perhaps most importantly, you gain my commitment to never agree with self-imposed limitations, to push when you need pushing, to listen when you need someone to talk to, and to celebrate your successes and joys.
Together we will create a “designed alliance,” a thoughtfully tailored relationship built to work in the best way possible with your personality, schedule and way of life. We do this in a confidential, safe environment, supported by compassion and monitored by certified competency in coaching.
This designed alliance exists for the sole purpose of assisting you to access the remarkable abiity and knowledge within – in a word: yourself.
If this excites you, learn more about our coaching process. For direct, live communication, please feel free to contact me personally. If you aren’t sure, we have a simple questionnaire to help you decide if coaching is for you.
Is Coaching For You?
Is coaching a good medium for you? Can it help you re-connect with the inner wisdom inside, that knows the right thing to do in every situation?
It will just take a few moments of your time and it is designed to help us give you some feedback. You can think of this as a first step in “the conversation,” although there is no commitment or fee involved. It’s simply here to help you determine if coaching and our style is “for you.” Please feel free to answer these questions and send them to me. I’ll be happy to reply personally, at no charge, with a quick view of ways we can productively partner to help your life become the one you want and deserve. The rest is up to you.
Our Coaching Process
The Coaching Process is simple and straightforward. When you decide to engage, we begin with the two-hour Coaching Interview Session, either a face to face session or phone session designed to: (1) confirm that coach and client are a fit, (2) co-design the alliance, and (3) initiate the coaching process.
Design the Alliance
We will explore what you want from your coach, what outcome you want from the coaching, what the coach expects from you as client and how we are going to custom design our alliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
This section was created to give you quick answers to some of the more common questions and concerns from prospective coaching clients.
How do I know this will work?
A: Each individual’s experience in coaching is as unique as they are. We have had success with countless individuals in all walks of life, with many kinds of challenges. We feel sure that we can help anyone who is truly interested in life or career change management. However, if you feel that your experience with the Coaching Center of Reston is not exciting, life-changing and completely worthwhile, you may request, and will receive a full refund.
Are your services expensive ?
A: It is both ethical practice and good business to make sure that our clients get more than they expect from our services. Our fees are in line with industry practice, and certainly less than many other professional services such as therapy or legal fees.
