What is coaching?
I get this question a lot.
Here are some of my thoughts on that question.
Coaching is the single best way to accelerate the process of accomplishing your most important outcomes.
Coaching is frequently categorized into two main areas: PERSONAL and PROFESSIONAL. I have found that it is often difficult to separate these two areas. In other words, a person who initially comes to coaching to make improvements in their professional life may find that things really begin to get better when we focus on their personal life, and vice versa.
Over the years, I have acquired the knowledge, training, and experience to work in a variety of areas that you may be struggling with.
In general, you may be a good candidate for coaching if you need help with any of the following:
Developing a plan or strategy
Often individuals want help developing a strategy or plan in order to achieve a desired result in the shortest period of time, with the least amount of stress.
Implementing a change or improvement
Individuals frequently want to change or improve something. For example, they may want to change jobs or improve a relationship.
Clarifying desires
Individuals are commonly looking to figure out what they REALLY want in their personal and/or business lives.
Overcoming frustrations
Many people want to work on overcoming the personal limitations or gaps in self-awareness that are hindering their success and enjoyment of life.
HERE IS HOW THE COACHING PROCESS USUALLY BEGINS:
Initially, we will talk on the phone and discuss your current situation and objectives. If we both feel there is a match, we'll agree to work together.
Next, we will decide on the coaching program that's right for you. In my experience, the longer you work with a coach, the more you achieve. For example, a couple of golf lessons might help your game, but naturally, working with the club pro for a year is going to make you a heck of a lot better on the golf course!
Before the first session you will complete a personal profile that will help us both quickly assess where you are, where you've been, and where you want to go.
Then, we will meet via phone for your first session, where we'll discuss the profile and begin the coaching process, with the ultimate goal of helping you clarify and achieve what you truly desire.
TYPICALLY, YOU CAN EXPECT THE FOLLOWING TO OCCUR DURING A COACHING CALL:
We will review and discuss any homework that you have been working on. The purpose of the homework is simply to provide you with insights, new perspectives, and reaction oriented items that will help you get where you want to go faster. Often it will include things like self-observation, a reading suggestion, or a practice to begin.
We will look at what you have accomplished and achieved since our last session.
We will discuss the challenges you are currently facing, and come up with strategies to eliminate or overcome them.
We will agree on what you need to work on in-between sessions.
Each and every person is unique. Your needs and desires will be different from any other individual, and will vary from session to session. Therefore, we will focus on what is most pressing to you on each call. I will always be prepared for your session, but never attached to a specific agenda!
AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO ALL PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS
It is very important for me to correctly assess if I am the right partner for you. I am extremely committed to growth, success, and happiness of each individual I work with. I only work with a limited number of individuals who are serious about taking their lives to the next level. If I don't think I am right for the job, I will let you know immediately, and try to refer you to a more appropriate resource.
COACHING PROGRAMS
I currently offer the following one-on-one coaching programs:
The Intro Program
This is for those clients who would like to simply explore what coaching is all about, and/or are not yet ready to make a longer term commitment.
The intro program consists of four 45 minute coaching calls.
You can expect this series to last between 1-2 months, depending on the frequency of our sessions together. I initially meet with most of my intro clients weekly, and move to bi-weekly when more time becomes needed between sessions to complete assignments, process what we've discussed, or practice a new skill or concept.
Relationship Coaching Program
The Relationship Enhancer Coaching Course is a 12-week curriculum-based program designed to show you how to create the relationship of your dreams. This program is designed for couples to go through together, however, individuals can go participate as well. You will learn the fundamentals of relationship success. In this process, you will find out what you and your partner most need from each other to experience love, respect, and connection. Also emphasized in this course is the notion that what makes a relationship successful and fulfilling will change constantly. As each individual grows and new developmental challenges are encountered by the couple, the rules can change. Therefore, ongoing dialogue and healthy communication is necessary for continued relationship enhancement.
Business Building Coaching Program
This coaching program is for anyone interested in starting a financially viable internet based business. It will involve examining yourself to determine the best niche for you to build your business in. This will depend on your interests, values, experiences, credentials, etc... Once you define your niche I will walk you through creating your business. Yes creating it. Not talking about it. At the end of this program you will have a website (built by my company) that will allow you to 1) generate revenue, 2) impact others in a positive way, 3) develop your ideal life style.
Mastery Coaching Programs
Mastery coaching programs are for those clients who have completed previous coaching or personal development programs and are focused on highly specialized outcomes for their lives.
My philosophy and approach to working with couples and individuals can be described as collaborative and solution-focused. I specialize in helping individuals identify and overcome limitations in their thinking, and have a knack for helping couples and individuals find rapid solutions to long-standing challenges. As many of the newer schools of psychotherapy acknowledge, there is a strong connection between an individual's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therefore, creating a slight shift in any of these areas can lead to creating profound change.
