How does this work?
-- What do you do? -- What do I do?
Most coaching is provided via the telephone (telecoaching). One of the many advantages of telecoaching is the
ability to coach others wherever they may be. It does not limit us to being in the same location. There
are different formats available. We can meet 2, 3 or 4 times per month for 30 or 45 minutes per session.
We schedule our times together in advance and you call me at the pre-determined time.
In addition, email and occasional short (5-10 min) calls for the purpose
of quick check-in’s, pep talks, celebrations, etc., are entirely appropriate within this coaching relationship.
Since personal growth, development and changing
of habits takes time, most clients agree to a minimum 3 month commitment. After that time, we review progress,
interest and/or need for additional sessions.
As
your coach, I will
listen, ask questions, offer observations, and provide feedback to help you identify, clarify and achieve your goals.
You will be asked to stretch yourself further and take more actions
than you would on your own, to get what you want. You will be asked to consider different
approaches and ways of thinking and try them out to see if they work for you. You will complete action
items between coaching sessions (these are actions you decide upon during the coaching session, you
always have a choice!). You will explore options, consider new possibilities, and generate
strategies for yourself. Remember,
you are responsible for your own results.
