Wondering About Coaching?



Well, to me, it's about evolving faster. It's about eliminating the things that drain you and strengthening the things that bring out your best. It's creating environments, resources and strategies that support who YOU are. And it's about REMEMBERING who you are !


Mastery and Evolution Unlimited With Anna Dargitz, PhD
Dean of The Graduate School of Coaching
Trained Mentor Coach


Thank you for requesting information about coaching. This is an introduction booklet describing who I am and the nature of my individual coaching and the 3 Month Group Coaching Practicum. You can scroll to the end of this packet for specific details on these two services.

Here's a little information about my background and what qualifies me as a mentor and a coach.

  • 24 years ago, with a bachelors degree in psychology and history, I stepped into the world of helping people evolve. I began as a juvenile delinquency counselor working with kids and families to help them face reality and embrace love instead of fear. I didn't even know what reality was; never mind what it takes to face fears. I was a pitiful sight.
  • I went back to school and obtained a masters and PhD in clinical psychology, putting myself through school by working with autistic and mentally retarded children and their parents. I most enjoyed learning about the many ways special needs children enjoy life and how much we can learn from special environments. It was my first experience in designing supportive environments. That was the good part. Mostly the education taught me what makes us tick and what to do when the ticker is broken. But what I was looking for was how to create a rich, meaningful, life.
  • I worked in a hospital for the treatment of alcoholics, participating in their twelve-step program and training staff and patients in relating and communicating skills. I was helping people to face and embrace truth and transcend their fears as I continued to struggle with it myself.
  • With an ego as big as the outdoors, I entered the forensic psychology arena and worked in a maximum-security psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane. I functioned as a ward psychologist, trainer for psychiatric technicians, and expert witness. It was the time and place for me to embrace my truths and transcend my fears at a very deep level.
    Many of life's lessons hit me in the face and knocked me down.
  • Almost four years later, I transitioned into private practice. In addition to individual and group psychotherapy, I did workshops, seminars and retreats on dream work and archetypal psychology using Carl Jung's theories of growth and Self-discovery. Jung said, and I paraphrase, "we can't solve our problems at the level we created them, we have to go to a higher (more empowering) level of creativity.
  • I became a professor at a graduate school in depth psychology, the CEO of a non-profit educational organization and began writing a manuscript called "What To Do While Waiting For Your Therapist". It was while writing this manuscript, all about being a creator in your life, that I discovered the world of coaching.
  • I've let go of my psychotherapy license and have been coaching full-time now for five years. Over the years of building my practice, I've become the Dean at The Graduate School of Coaching, which means I'm a liaison between the School of Coaching and the membership of coaches. I do in-depth, proficiency- based coach training. In 2003, I'll be doing a national tour of Coach Training called "The Certified Coach Intensive". I do personal development training, deliver information about the path to becoming a certified coach and the value of School of Coaching's live trainings, and direct coaches to find a myriad of resources, tools, and opportunities to help them get what they need fast and effortlessly. I'm in the coach success industry. It's a joy and I welcome you to it.

I will try to re-schedule but can't always guarantee another time will be available. I have calls and appointments scheduled based upon my staying within the limits of the time agreed.

Extra time: You may call me between calls if you need advice, have a problem or cannot wait to share a success with me. I do have time between our regular calls to speak with you, if needed. I enjoy providing this extra level of service. I do not bill for additional time of this type, but I request that you keep the extra calls to five or ten minutes, please.
