Our Process
There are a million different ways to provide coaching support to people. Basically, one way for each relationship. We’re all different. You may need something similar but still different than the person next to you. Is it any wonder there’s a lot of confusion around what life coaching is all about, what it can offer, and how it helps?
Although I don’t offer a million different ways to coach, I do offer a custom developed curriculum structured around your specific needs in mind. Please know that I don’t work with “anyone and everyone”. If I don’t believe that I’m the right coach for you, or not confident that I can help you attain the results you’re looking for, I’ll let you know.
So, what can you expect?
The process you go through working with me is simple.
Our very first step is our Clarity call. This is a full 60 minute Skype, Zoom or telephone session. We will work on whatever issue you would like to bring to the table. This session is a full-blown coaching session so you can experience the power of coaching. It will also inform me if you and I can work successfully together to bring you the results you want.
Some people only need the one session – they have a small block holding them back and once we’ve worked through it, you can continue on with your life.
Some people are so happy with the first call they will then book a full coaching agreement. Helping people get from being blocked to flourishing is a pretty satisfying way to make a living!
Once your first session is over, we then have our conversation covering the next steps. If you only need the one free session, I hope you remember me for subsequent purchased sessions and referrals to friends or family members. I will treat them like they’re my own friends and family, so you won’t need to worry.
Saying “yes!” to coaching with me? This is super simple, although I’m sure it will be very challenging many times! Here’s an example of one of my step-by-step processes (this one is for when I work with the overwhelmed and unfocused, … I call them the “plate-spinners”).
- Time Travel! We’ll go back to the beginning. When your vision and dream were so motivating they put a smile on your face and gave you the energy to “get ‘er done!”. Then we’ll travel to the future and map out your fresh goals and create your plan to achieve them. We’ll also make sure those goals are truly your own. You’d be surprised to how many folks set goals to make others happy.
- Leave the Circus Behind! Right now you’re struggling with too many projects, small jobs, promises and obligations. We will spend time looking at your day, your projects, or anything we identify as creating a bottleneck to you making progress. After we go through this process you will know when to say no and when to say yes. Each step you take will be bringing you closer to your goals, your day will have structure, and you won’t have your day falling down around
- Get a BullsEye! It’s difficult to hit a target that you can’t see. When we get through this stage in the process, you’ll have your goals in clear view, and will be well equipped to hit your mark.
- Celebrate your victory! You’ve achieved your goals so celebrate! You can enjoy your day knowing your time is focused on the right priorities … YOURS!
Once we decide to start our coaching program, a process will be developed just for you. I draw from my toolkit (yes, there will be homework!) as well as my experience helping others to work with you on your individual goals. Being able to make adjustments along the way is one of the advantages of 1-1 coaching over a group program, and there will be many opportunities to provide feedback as well as even change your final destination!
Remember, coaching can get messy, but on the other side of the struggle, you’ll find the good stuff.
Most importantly, you won’t get judged, you won’t get shamed, but you will get a ton of honest feedback, loving support and, I assure you, progress!
