The Coaching Process
Here’s how the coaching process works. Usually we’ll start with a free Complimentary Session, which gives us the chance to meet each other, talk through objectives and expectations, and see if we click. It’s a no-obligation opportunity for you to get a taste of the difference it can make to have a coach.
If you decide to sign on, the coaching relationship begins by identifying your dreams and desires: the changes you want to make and the passions you want to pursue. We’ll discover and clarify what your best life is, then create goals and action plans to make it happen. Our coaching relationship will provide a consistent, affirming support structure that will keep you focused and on track. Along the way we’ll find plenty of chances to brainstorm, troubleshoot the obstacles and celebrate your wins. We’ll build an authentic, energizing friendship where we can laugh together, share deeply, and converse with passion about the future.
What’s Included
In a typical coaching relationship, we meet three times per month by phone for 45 minutes to an hour each time, with free e-mail contact and short “spot calls” of five minutes or less between sessions as needed. Our initial intake session will be 60-90 minutes as we get to know each other better and design the details of the relationship based on your objectives and needs.
For this initial “intake” session you’ll have some prework: a life satisfactin survey, some questions to consider and instructions to read. After that, you’ll choose the action steps you want to take each week.
Depending on the client, I ask for a 12, 6 or three month commitment up front (it takes a little time to get life-changing results!) and we’ll go month-to-month after that. I’ll send you an agreement that includes these details so we have everything in writing.
