Most life coaching can be done over the telephone. The benefits to you are that it saves you time and you don't need to travel anywhere for a session. Some people prefer, and are more at ease opening up to someone when they are on the telephone. It also allows more flexibility with when you can be coached. I appreciate that many people have commitments during the day, so evening coaching is fine by me.
However if you prefer, I am happy to coach face to face. Both are very successful ways of coaching. I also offer unlimited e mail support. What this means is that between sessions, you are welcome to e mail me and I will of course always respond to you. It may be that you want to share your successes with me, or indeed are a bit stuck with something and are looking for support and motivation.
In the initial session, we will work together to discover your values. This is an extremely useful exercise for us to do as it gives us both a greater insight as to what makes you tick. It also helps when we are identifying your goals as to whether they really fit in with what you really want and value.
Each session is very much your agenda. You may wish to discuss something completely different from what we discussed in the previous session. That is fine. It is all about you and what is going on with you at that time. My job as your coach is to question you effectively and to get you to really think. I will challenge any time you are limiting yourself, and I will encourage you when you set yourself a task. I will make sure that each week we are moving further and further towards your goal. Sometimes I will take you out of your comfort zone, which is vital for your confidence.
Sessions are typically one hour. From experience this gives the client sufficient time for creating changes. Depending on the extent of your goals it will vary how long the relationship lasts. Some people have small specific goals which can be achieved in a relatively short space of time and others may have goals which may take some time to achieve. The beauty about coaching is the flexibility and the client will decide how long they wish to be coached for. I have seen some miraculous achievements in very short spaces of time.
Just think how amazing your life could be if you channel your energies into making positive changes.
