Because each professional coach has her/his own special way of coaching, I thought you would like to know how I coach and what I expect from my clients.
Warning this is a no fluff zone and full of information!
I USE HUMOR
The work we do is serious business but we must look at ourselves lightly. The lighter the heart, the more creative the brainstorming and willingness to do the work we set out to do. I coach with humorous analogies and a with an exciting eccentric style. Life can hit you like a hundred mile and hour pacifier from the backseat during rush hour. You have to be able to laugh. Besides, it's so much more fun.
MY CLIENTS ARE THE GREAT
I am blessed with the privilege of choosing you, my clients. I want and enjoy each one of you for the individuals you are. You are all growing, successful and well, and I have the privilege of assisting you enrich your personal, spiritual and professional lives.
I EXPECT YOUR BEST
If you are hiring me, you are probably ready to do and be your best. If you aren’t doing your best, I will ask you to. If you can’t do it at that moment, I will understand and do what you need to be heard, loved and helped back on your path to being your best.
A PERSONAL COACH
Is a partner in achieving your personal and business goals, your cheerleader during hard times, the first to congratulate you on a triumph, your sounding board for making choices, unconditional support, mentor in enrichment, your co-designer on an extraordinary project, your beacon during stormy times, your wake-up call, guide, life strategist, behavior modification partner, spirit empowerment guide and just downright in your corner when you need me.
I MAKE DIRECT REQUESTS
From time to time, I will make a binding request “By the end of the month, will you accomplish X?” You may say yes, you may say no or even offer another solution. I’ll make you right no matter which way you respond.
I GIVE STRAIGHT ADVICE
If I am sure of the situation, and you are open to it, I will make specific suggestions on how to handle a problem, “go-for” and opportunity. If I am not sure, I will say so. Honesty is my top values – I am straight forward and expect you to be as well. Regardless, use the best of what I say and use your own judgment.
I DON”T STEP OVER MUCH
When I hear a funny tone in your voice or notice your body language is telling a different story than your words, I know something is up. I will ask you about it. Often it is in these moments, I can offer you the chance to resolve something. However, I do not confront or push. I merely offer you the opportunity to take a look at the underlying reasons your body is telling a different story.
Couples and marriage, recovery from loss/addiction/illness, living with a "mental Illness", communication skills, personal growth and success, spirituality beyond dogma and vision/creativity/discovery and personal finances. Visit my "about me" page to learn more about who I am, why I coach and the areas of life I can help with.
I GIVE LOTS OF HOMEWORK
I usually ask that you come up with 2 or 3 goals, actions or shifts to have completed between one meeting and the next. If it is too much, say so. If you want more, just ask.
THE BEST WAY FOR YOU
If you are not local, instead of fighting traffic, my clients call me, email me and chat live online from across town, across the country, and across borders and oceans. I also do live video feed during our calls or chat so you see me face to face. It's just like being in the same room without the cost or hassle of traveling. Through e-mail I send all kinds of tips, articles, newsletters, and other support materials. From my virtual office I can be anywhere at anytime.You are always in the comfort and convenience of your own home!
YOU ARE EXPECTED TO USE ME, NOT DEPEND ON ME
As your coach, I am a resource for you to use to your best advantage. I have an almost unlimited amount of love, compassion, forgiveness, strength for you and I can share many principles which will increase your success and enrich your life. I ask that my clients use me as the resource and friend I am, but do not let you get yourself into needing me (or coaching) as a dependency thing, crutch or fix.
I GET PAID
In advance for the month. A month includes one, 1 hour session per week, for four weeks. Your Initial consultation of 30 minutes to discuss your needs is always free. I want to be as accessible and affordable to as many people as possible. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have! My fees average $350 to $600 per month, sometimes less, sometimes more. They are completely dependent upon your needs. You can't afford not to call me. You need to get to it!
EXTRAS YOU GET
Just because our main sessions are only and hour each, my support doesn't stop there. You get a reasonable amount of extra emails, quick phone calls and IM's (to tell me triumphs or setbacks). I send you personal emails with ideas, advice interesting articles and tidbits during the month. My wit, wisdom and humor on life and a million other topics. I call you to check in on your progress and give you some motivation.
I AM HERE
I want to hear it all! If you have a personal problem, are disturbed with something (even me or the coaching), are just starting to realize something big, can’t wait to share a shift/win, call or e-mail me. Anytime. I check my mail several times a day no matter where I am. Isn't technology grand? I am here for you, even when you only need to hear me say "GET TO IT!" or "YOU CAN DO IT" and "I KNEW YOU COULD!."
I KNOW YOU CAN
I can prove it. While you may not be able to do it all, or exactly the way you want it, in one day; you can do it one step at a time. Everyone can do more, and do it better than they did yesterday. This includes you! Every new day presents the opportunity to do it your way this time. I will be that extra motivation you need. Even if it’s just one more thing today, tomorrow and the next day, all of the pieces add up until you reach your goal. You can do it, so let’s get to it!
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
You’ve found the motivator you need. I’ll even give you a personal “Round TUIT” to help you get back on track. Think of all the things you will accomplish now that you have a “Round TUIT.”
My philosophy is simple “You are only where you want to be; otherwise you’d be somewhere else!” You say you’re sick of where you’re at? What have you done to make changes? You just don’t know where to start? That’s where I come in! I’ll have you brainstorming and aimed in the direction you want to go before you know it.
I know you can do it! Why? Because, everyone can do more today than yesterday. Everyone can do something different today than they did yesterday. Let me show you how “You can DO IT!”
