| What
To Expect During a Sample Coaching Consultation A
sample coaching consultation is very important for both the prospective client
as well as the coach. This 45-60 minute call enables you to personally
experience my coaching style and for us to determine if we are a good
match. It is extremely important that we both feel comfortable with one another
to enable honesty, trust and authenticity -- and of course, your growth! This
is how I conduct my sample consultations: - Getting
Acquainted: You will have the opportunity to tell me anything you'd like me
to know about you in order to most effectively coach you. We'll take no more than
2-3 minutes on this part.
- Identify
the Topic: You will tell me what topic you'd like coaching on. If you are
unclear, we will take less than 5 minutes to identify one. I request that you
come to the call with as much clarity as possible. If we cannot identify one that
I feel is coachable, we will end the call.
- Coaching:
The next 20-30 minutes I will coach you on the topic. During this time, I may
take "side trips" to explain some tools & techniques I would use
if you were to hire me. Sometimes I just use the technique. We will end with either
an action item or a deeper learning on the topic discussed.
- Wrap-Up:
After the coaching is complete, I will ask how the coaching impacted you and what
you learned. We will lock that in. This is ~5 minutes.
- Closing:
If I feel we are a good match, I will ask if you'd like to continue in a longer
term coaching relationship. At this point, we can go one of two ways:
- If
you feel it's a good match for you too, we will schedule your start date and discuss
payment terms. I urge you to review
my fee structure prior to our call. I charge for my services (believe
it or not, some people come to a complimentary session with no financial resources;
our time is valuable so let's stay in integrity on this).
- If
we both agree the match could be better, I will happily refer you to another coach.
All the coaches I know give complimentary sesssions.
Thank
you for taking the time to review this. If you have any questions or concerns,
please email or call me. |
