How the Coaching Engagement Process Works

SAMPLE SESSION

This is a FREE 45 minute’s session, which takes place normally 1:1 on the phone/Skype. The intention of the first part of this session is to help you understand what coaching is all about and deal with any questions or concerns that you may have. The second part of this session is where some actual coaching takes place, which will allow us both to see how we work together. This session is a taster session so we are not looking to achieve any specific results during this time


DISCOVERY SESSION

This is an explorative session and takes place somewhere in a place of your choice that will resonate with who you and has some meaning to you and possibly related somehow to the path you are about to start.

Discovery sessions can take place in cafes, museums, parks, shopping malls, churches, etc. The most important thing is that you feel at ease with yourself and your surroundings and that we can talk comfortably.

The Discovery Session is about creating the coach and coachee relationship, it involves discovering the necessary background and other personal information that will be useful in the coaching. For example: What are the main areas of focus you want to bring to coaching? What goals have you set? What are the values you want to honour in your life? What motivates you to action? How have you created change in the past? What works?

The discovery session also gives you an orientation to this unique relationship called coaching and an introduction to some of the specific coaching tools and language you will encounter.


REGULAR SESSIONS

Most clients have their sessions face-to-face although phone/Skype sessions are also available.


HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

This is a flexible working relationship, which comprises of the following parts: 

COMMITMENT

When you hire a coach it is because you have decided to take charge of your life, you are looking for changes and have the conviction and the disposition to take courageous actions toward achieving your goals and reaching your maximum potential.

I, as your coach, am very committed to your process by using the necessary tools to get you where you want to be. I will be curious, intuitive, I will listen intently, support you, challenge and champion you during the time we have together but the real key to success in this mission is you. You, as my client, must truly commit to your own process by trusting me and the process itself, by allowing a real connection to develop, by being patient and as motivated when things go swiftly as when the progress takes time.

DISCOVERY SESSION

Before this session you will receive a questionnaire for you to fill in and send it back to me. This is designed to give you some initial food for thought and to provide me with an insight as to who you are.

The discovery session is our first meeting, when we start to get to know each other and design the way we will work together, our ALLIANCE.

This session takes 90 minutes

DESIGNING THE ALLIANCE

Before starting our regular sessions we will talk and decide on things that are important for us as a Coach and as Client to make the Coaching work as efficiently as possible and to establish the foundation and boundaries of our relationship.

The key elements to our alliance are:

Find the best approach to work together in order to achieve what you truly want.

Establish ways to create a safe and nourishing environment for you.

Establish an efficient connection and communication between us.

We will spend our time in a laboratory (metaphorically speaking) in which we will explore, discover and create Alchemy, transformation; therefore honesty and trust are a must.

This Alliance is flexible, so we can redesign as we go.

REGULAR SESSIONS

This is the main bulk of the work.

Regular sessions are the ones following the Discovery session, they last 50 minutes, they are held fortnightly or monthly.
