Summit Coaching sessions are designed to help you get clear on who
you are, where you want to go, and how to get there. We can help
you discover the simplest, most powerful action steps for moving
toward your vision. We encourage and inspire you to take these
steps and guide you through whatever internal and external obstacles
you may encounter as you move forward. We support you in bringing
nonjudgmental awareness to everything which arises so that you
may continuously learn and grow.
Our coaching approach is results-oriented. By blending left-brain
practicality with a deeply heart-centered, intuitive perspective,
we help clients bridge the gap between vision and action. We encourage
clients to aim high, while staying grounded in developing realistic
strategies and timelines.
This approach has proven effective for a broad range of people. Our
clients include:
People in Transition: If you are ready to move on to a new chapter
in your life personally or professionally, Summit Coach Andrew Oser
can help you to clarify your options and make choices which support
your happiness and success. Having lived an adventurous live with
several different careers, he is able to help clients see transitions
as exciting opportunities, rather than crises.
Executives: The leaders of a business or nonprofit organization
deal with the pressures of an overwhelming workload and constant
deadlines.
Summit Coaching’s approach helps them develop strategies for
managing stress effectively and fulfilling both personal and business
goals. Drawing upon 15 years of running a successful nonprofit, Andrew
has an in-depth understanding of the unique challenges leaders face.
Visionaries: Often, people
with a big vision have difficulty chunking it down into bite-size
do-able action steps. As
a result, they frequently
are unsuccessful in bringing their vision into
manifestation. Having taken the Joy of Sports Foundationfrom
an idea that popped into his head while running one day to a
vibrant organization which has made a difference
in the lives of more than 50,000 children, Andrew
can guide visionaries
in developing
and implementing a grounded approach to making
their dreams come true.
Summit Coaching sessions generally last one hour
and can be delivered by phone or in person. Andrew's
goal is that every session results in a significant
breakthrough for the client. If you'd like to experience

for Individuals, Couples, and Small
Groups
Ready
for renewal? Come to Mt. Shasta for a guided retreat with
Summit Coaching Services. Andrew Oser,
will take you to sacred
spots on this breathtakingly beautiful mountain,
guide you in re-connecting deeply with the Source of your
being,
and
help you design an effective
strategy to integrate the awakening you receive
into your daily life.
Our retreats are customized to meet your needs. They generally
include such activities as hikes on the mountain, guided
meditation, yoga,
and individual life coaching sessions. Your retreat is
individually designed to best suit you, in terms of time
spent in solitude
versus structured, guided activities.
Many couples have experienced dramatic breakthroughs in
their relationships through our Mt. Shasta retreats. In
addition
to the activities mentioned
above, we offer couples facilitated dialogues using the
Nonviolent Communication method developed by Marshall Rosenberg.
When
amplified by the energies of the mountain, this technique
can produce extraordinary
results. Many couples have returned home with longstanding
issues resolved, trust restored, and effective new tools
for dealing with
future challenges.
Andrew has been guiding Mt. Shasta retreats since 1982.
He has a deep appreciation for the powerful energies of
the mountain
and the
ability to help clients tap into those energies to make
breakthroughs in their lives.

Sustainability Services for Nonprofits
Does your organization constantly struggle to make ends meet? Does this struggle create a high level of stress for your staff and Board? Are you starting to burn out and lose your passion to serve?
If the answer to any or all of these questions is “yes,” then you might be interested in the sustainability servicesSummit Coaching Services provides to the nonprofit community.
During his career as a nonprofit CEO, Andrew Oser observed first-hand the lack of resources and high turnover that is endemic to the sector. He developed an approach that enabled him to maintain his energy and inspiration for 15 years as Executive Director of the Joy of Sports Foundation, while growing an organization that served more than 40,000 children nationwide.
Through Summit Coaching Services, Andrew now offers support to the nonprofit organizations and leaders. His specialty is helping nonprofits achieve both inner and outer sustainability. Inner sustainability means creating a culture which supports all employees in maximizing performance, while minimizing stress. Outer sustainability refers to developing systems and strategies that consistently provide the organization with the financial and human resources needed to effectively carry out its mission.
Andrew’s combination of nonprofit leadership experience, coaching and training background, and dedication to personal and spiritual growth enable him to bring a uniquely effective perspective to the pursuit of inner and outer sustainability. He has helped many nonprofit organizations, including Difference Makers International, the I AM Foundation, and the Mt. Shasta Bio-Regional Ecology Center, to reach new levels of sustainability and success.
Summit Coaching Services currently supports nonprofit organizations through:
•Consulting and Training.
Andrew helps nonprofit leaders assess their organizational needs and provides customized training to develop a culture, as well as the practical skills, needed to sustainably meet those needs. Topics include organizational values, communication skills, fundraising, public relations, and building successful partnerships.
•Retreats.
Retreats can be an extremely powerful catalyst for organizations that are ready to break through to a new level of sustainability. Andrew offers retreats for Boards, staffs, and combined Board/staff teams. Through his 25 years experience in leading retreats, Andrew has developed a keen understanding of how to plan and guide a successful, outcomes-based retreat. Depending on the desired outcomes, Summit Coaching retreats generally include some mix of team-building, visioning, strategic planning, integrated right brain/left brain decision making, and nuts and bolts identification of clear action steps, timelines, and accountabilities.
