So you are thinking about having a life coaching session, but you are not quite sure what happens and what you should expect.
I thought it would be very useful for me to explain and give you a brief over view of the coaching process offered by myself at Best Coaching.
It is important to note that all coaches have their own style when it comes to coaching, so this is where the free initial consultation comes into it's own. It gives you a great opportunity to meet your coach to see if you like them and if you wish to work with them further.
Take advantage of this; it's not many areas in life that you get a free trial.
An initial consultation will be arranged at a time suitable for you. This can be held over the phone or face-to-face and should run for about an hour. I work to an exceptionally high code of professional ethics, so you can feel totally confident in the quality of coaching and the confidentiality of your sessions at all times.
Here your will discuss in detail your current situation, your hopes and expectations. I will then discuss some of the tools I will use to get you the best results and how they will work. At the end of the free consultation, if you wish to proceed to booking your sessions with me then the next date will be arranged.
From then on our sessions will be held on a regular basis, the frequency will be set by you. They can be held, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly depending on your personal situation. The sessions can be held on the telephone, at your home or at a suitable independent location, basically whatever method you feel most comfortable with.
Unlike counselling and several types of therapy where your past is analysed, coaching sessions are based on your present situation and explores your future. It follows the premise that the past does not necessarily equal the future. Instead, a number of tools will be chosen according to your needs so you can define your own way forward. This is a wonderful advantage to you, since it allows you to manage your future goals successfully after the life coaching program is complete.
Coaching isn't just about talking it's about doing! This means after each session I will usually set you some work to do in preparation for the next session. Please don't worry, homework is agreed by yourself before it is set, it's fun, engaging and a great way for you to push yourself forward.
I hope that has given you a little taster of what is involved. It's not scary, you won't do anything than will make you feel uncomfortable, and you will not be forced to do anything you don't want to. You are in control all the way; I am here to support you, not dictate to you.
