The Coaching Process

Steps in the Coaching Process

  1. 30 minute Introductory Conversation – Before beginning our coaching relationship, I like to spend about 30 minutes to give you the experience of coaching. Experiencing coaching is the best way I know to understand what coaching is all about. It is also an opportunity for both of us to learn a bit more about each other to see if we are a good “fit.” If we find we are not a good "fit", I can recommend other highly qualified coaches. The Introductory Conversation is FREE.
  2. Coaching Welcome Packet – I will send you a welcome packet with information about coaching and an in-depth inventory and coaching forms to complete.
  3. Orientation Session – Our first session together is an "orientation," which takes approximately two hours. At that time we will cover more about what coaching is and how it works, administrative items, what you hope to get out of coaching, and how we can make our partnership successful for you. We can either do this session in-person if we live in the same geographic area, or via phone, which it is just as effective. This session is $400.
  4. Regular Coaching Sessions - During our regularly scheduled coaching sessions, I will be honest and straightforward, asking questions and making requests. We will tackle present moment issues and long-term resolutions. Our coaching sessions will deepen the learning from your experiences and forward the action to progress in the direction of your goals and dreams.
  5. 90 Days of Coaching - I request a minimum of 90 days with each client. The reason is that coaching happens over time. Time allows you to try new behaviors, develop new habits, implement plans, and fully realize your goals. 90 days also gives you support as you go though the ups and downs of your life. A 90 day coaching relationship gives you a sounding board through your struggles and a partner to help celebrate your successes. After the initial 90 days, clients go on a month-to-month basis. It is not unusual for a client to work with me anywhere from six months to one year.
