1. What happens in a coaching session?

​

• Goal setting: we work on defining your goal, why you want to reach it, and what its importance is to you.

• Map out the various features of what this goal attainment might look like (to the best of your knowledge at the start): hurdles, actions required, resources needed, timeline, prioritization, from where and how you'll garner motivation.

• Insight work as you work toward your goal: delve into the Why, the perspective shifts that will aid you, the assumptions you might hold that hinder movement toward the goal.

• Experimentation with action: committing to actions, detailing the action process, gauging time and motivational requirements, creating resources that are lacking, learning from what worked and what didn't, creating fine-tuned action plans as the process deepens.

• Devise accountability structures: from various sources, including me.

• Learning from it all: discovering the application of this goal attainment to the rest of your life.

2. How frequently do we meet for coaching?

​

• Initially, as we work to get to know each other and to define your goal, as well as getting you up to speed on how the coaching process works, I suggest weekly meetings for at least the first month. A good four sessions can get you comfortable with what each of our roles is, how best to show up to the session, and get you in the swing of coming to the sessions with a topic to explore.

• After this first four weeks, shifting to bi-monthly is fine, as is keeping it weekly. After months of cycling through goals, some clients keep up our sessions every 2-3 weeks or so, to take advantage of the accountability structure and to work on longer term actions.

​

3. How long is a session?

​

• This depends on your schedule. My clients have settled into a groove with a certain length of session that suits their style of discovery. I'm flexible with this aspect of my coaching. Typically, sessions are 60 minutes, however 30 minutes is great for what I call a 'power session'. Some of my clients come to our calls and settle into 90 minutes. After that length, folks get tired. Coaching asks for a lot of thinking from the client, and it's never effective to keep coaching once brain fatigue has set in.

• I price the shorter session differently than the longer one. You can find that info here.
