What can
I expect from you, my coach?
You can expect me to be:
| • |
focused
on you and your goals |
| • |
determined
to keep you on track for results |
| • |
believing
in your phenomenal potential and in your
ability to achieve success |
| • |
unconditionally
constructive and objective |
| • |
cheering
you on, encouraging and supportive |
| • |
enthusiastic
about your success |
| • |
persistent
but patient |
| • |
direct,
frank and honest |
| • |
discreet–my
client list is confidential. |
You will not read about
yourself in my promotional material. Your success,
not the marketing of my coaching practice is
my main motive.
What
do you expect from me, your client?
My 3 Rs for coaching
are that you, my client, are:
Ready
| • |
ready
for coaching now with no self–imposed barriers
to action and progress; |
| • |
ready
(as in 'keen') for change; |
| • |
ready
and determined to take any necessary action; |
| • |
ready
to suspend your disbelief; |
| • |
ready
to adopt a more positive attitude. |
Responsive
| • |
open
to change; |
| • |
frank
and straight–talking; |
| • |
willing
to break patterns and to step out of your
comfort zone. |
Reliable
| • |
about keeping
appointments and making payments; |
| • |
about keeping to commitments
you have made to take action and not sabotaging
yourself. |
What framework do you use in your sessions?
At the start of each session, we review the actions you have taken, before working on your goals, using a unique coaching framework, the WHY NOT?! model, which I devised myself. My clients have found it a particularly effective model. I do my best to avoid hype, as well as 'insider' jargon, neither of which empowers clients.
How
long will the coaching last?
Many clients find that they commit to, and go
on to make changes within a short period of
time. However, to sustain that change, and to
refine goals can take a little longer. That
is why coaches often begin by making a two to
three month commitment and asking for the same
from their clients.
The frequency of sessions
depends on your circumstances and stamina! The
majority of my clients find a coaching call
of 45 minutes works best for them.
Once you are achieving
your goals, and your life is moving forward
with momentum, you might consider switching
to maintenance coaching. This allows you to
ring me for instant coaching during specific
time slots.
What
is the procedure for the coaching call?
You ring me at the scheduled time from an environment
in which you can speak without being disturbed.
The time slot we agree on is your time slot.
If you need to re–schedule it, please give me
at least 24 hours' notice.
It's a good idea, also,
to schedule a quiet 'window' of at least 15
minutes, before the call, to relax and to prepare
for the session.
Some of my clients prefer
to use a hands–free phone, so that they can
make notes. However, rather than trying to make
detailed notes during the call, focus on the
coaching.
Towards the end of the
call, we will review the discussion and agree
on actions that you will take before the next
session. It's then that it's most useful for
you to make notes.
What
if I have questions that you have not answered
here?
Please feel free to contact me before your first
coaching session, by e–mail or telephone. Neither
of us will want queries about procedures to
use up time during a coaching session, where
every minute counts and should be focused on
you.
What
will it cost?
Coaching sessions are paid for in advance. The
fee is £37.50 per session– however, if you sign
up for a block of six sessions at £189, each
session will cost you £31.50, a saving of £6
per session. These sessions can be spread over
3 to 12 weeks.
Look at it this way. If
you choose to be coached once a fortnight, you
need only set aside £2.25 per day to cover it–not
much more than you'd pay for a coffee at Starbucks.
If at any point, you sign
up for 12 sessions, you also get 60 minutes
of free coaching to pass on to two friends.
Each of them can take this as a single session
of 60 minutes, or they can split it 45:15, having
a Jump Start session with a Booster Follow–up
a week later.
What
does the coaching fee cover?
The fee covers your coaching session and any follow–ups from me, between sessions. Unlimited e–mail contact between sessions is also included in our coaching relationship. So are brief (up to 10 minutes) unscheduled telephone calls between our scheduled sessions.
When
is payment due?
Payment should be in advance. If you prefer,
you can arrange to pay the fee over three months,
with each payment due on the first of the month.
