The Structure
Coaching sessions vary for each individual but all coaching engagements have a clear beginning, middle and end so that a client’s growth and progress can be measured and appreciated.
1.
Free Consultation
A free consult precedes any scheduling. The consult can be anywhere from 15-40 minutes. The inquiring person has a chance to ask questions and see if my communication style seems resonant with their needs. All questions about coaching are welcome at this time. Both coach and client use this time to determine if this is a good fit.
2.
If the client chooses to proceed, a client agreement, client profile and client goals forms are sent and should be returned before the first meeting. An intake session followed by coaching sessions and finished with a closing session constitutes the body of a coaching engagement.
Body of coaching engagement
Intake
In the intake session we discuss broadly what you’ll want to address in the coaching sessions. We’ll discuss what you feel will make these sessions meaningful and energizing for you.
Coaching Sessions
In each coaching session, clients bring the topic of discussion. Clients set the agenda. Usually this takes the form of a goal or aspiration that the client would like to explore. Coach and client discuss the client’s desired outcome, possible obstacles to that, strategies to work with those and close the session with actionable steps to be taken by client between sessions. Clients measure the success of each session by how they feel about the topic after this process. This is a clean and simple process. To support the actionable steps that the client takes, acknowledgement of their strengths and values are kept within reach by reminders from the coach. A valuing of voice and autonomy is present at each coaching session.
Closing Session
Closing the coaching engagement is a review of the growth that has happened over the course of the coaching engagement. The structure of the sessions in the previous weeks is important because it teaches the client to self-coach after this engagement ends. The closing celebrates the movement made by the client and a brief mapping of future plans can be done.
