FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I know if coaching is right for me?
If you can see your future and dream of what might be, desire to make the most of your time and relationships, and feel like you are on the edge of something good but need clarity, coaching might be right for you. Ask yourself if you are ready to be completely honest with yourself, clarify your mission, purpose, vision, and goals, and invest your time, energy, and financial resources to follow through on your commitments and reach your goals. If the answer is yes, coaching could be a great fit for you.
What is coaching?
It's the process of progress in any facet of your life, whether it's making a decision or shifting your perspective on an issue. At its core, coaching is client-centered – you, as the client, lead the way. Research suggests that individuals are 80% more likely to succeed when pursuing ideas they've generated themselves, compared to those suggested by others.
What does a coach do?
In my role as your coach, I deeply respect your competence and capabilities in your life and work. I hold the belief that you are inherently creative, resourceful, and whole. Through this lens, I'll pose open-ended questions that facilitate your exploration, provide clarity, and align with your desired outcomes. Coaching aims to draw out solutions and strategies generated by you, the client, resulting in outcomes that are ultimately more effective.
What about the client?
You take the lead! As the client, you determine the coaching agenda based on what you aim to achieve. Together, we collaborate to design a personalized action plan tailored to your goals. The duration of coaching is entirely flexible, and we can explore what works best for you.
Who is coaching for?
Coaching is for everyone, regardless of their background or current circumstances. If you're eager for change in any aspect of your life, coaching offers a supportive and empowering path forward. People seek coaching for a variety of reasons, including navigating life transitions, pursuing career shifts, resolving conflicts in relationships (whether with colleagues, friends, or others), and tackling personal goals such as writing a book, organizing their living space, or addressing health concerns. Essentially, coaching is available for anyone with a desire for growth and improvement, providing guidance and encouragement along the journey.
What will I get out of coaching?
You will get out as much as you put into it. Like many other forms of growth in life, when you show up fully, the outcome is much greater. In coaching, I have seen clients produce: greater self awareness and appreciation of who they are created to be, the ability to create and take advantage of opportunity, and begin to create the type of future one most desires.
How could coaching help my business?
While coaching originated primarily for business executives a few decades ago, its efficacy has since permeated various sectors, spawning a diverse array of coaching specialties. Engaging a coach for your business is a return to its foundational roots, but with a modern twist. And it's not just for CEOs anymore! When employees within an organization cultivate greater self-awareness, they become more aligned with the organization's mission and their role within it. This alignment often leads to remarkable outcomes and success for the business as a whole.
How is coaching different from counseling?
Coaching focuses on the present moment to shape the future you desire, although past experiences may be explored if relevant to moving forward. While coaching acknowledges past events, its primary emphasis is not on healing past wounds but on leveraging existing strengths and capabilities to propel you forward. It offers a vision for the future and empowers you to achieve your goals. As a coach, I do not diagnose, nor am I trained to treat people who are struggling with mental illness.
​
How long are sessions?
Sessions are up to one hour in length, unless otherwise stated.
How many sessions?
A preferred commitment of at least 12 sessions is recommended. This timeframe allows both the coach and the client ample opportunity to establish rapport, understand each other's perspectives, and observe progress toward the client's goals. Additionally, it's worth noting that certain coaching programs have specific session requirements: for example, Divine Design typically consists of 6 sessions, while Enneagram Coaching begins with an initial session called "Discover Your Type," followed by five sessions for further exploration of your Enneagram type, for a minimum of 6 sessions.
​
Where will the sessions take place?
Sessions can be conducted via phone, ZOOM or in person (if possible).
​
What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
Any cancellations or rescheduling sessions need to be done 24 hours in advance. Cancellations without at least a 24 hour notice will not be refunded.
