How Coaching Works
Coaching is a collaborative process where the coach and client work together to set specific, measurable goals and create an actionable plan to achieve them. Through regular sessions, the coach provides accountability, support, and guidance, helping the client develop skills such as emotional intelligence, communication, and stress management. The process fosters self-reflection and personal growth, empowering the client to overcome challenges and make meaningful progress. With ongoing adjustments and feedback, coaching helps individuals unlock their full potential, both personally and professionally.
This is how the journey begins
The first step is a complimentary Well-Being Vision Session, where we explore the coaching process and how it can benefit you. In this 30-minute conversation, we’ll focus on your vision of flourishing—what you genuinely want to achieve in all areas of your life rather than what you want to avoid. This session allows us to get to know each other and discuss how coaching can support your journey toward greater well-being and fulfillment.
When you're ready to begin, the next step is to review the formal coaching agreement and ICF Code of Ethics, ensuring clarity and alignment in our partnership. Depending on your chosen coaching package, you will complete an initial assessment to identify your current situation and clarify your desired outcomes. Once coaching sessions start, you will set the focus, success measures, and agenda for each conversation, ensuring that every session is tailored to your specific goals and meaningful progress.
During the coaching process, I incorporate assessments to help identify key areas for growth, change, and self-awareness. For example, the VIA (Values in Action Inventory) Character Strengths Survey, along with tailored exercises and tools, supports you in flourishing. Each coaching relationship is customized because every client is unique, and what serves you best will depend on your specific needs and circumstances at that moment. This personalized approach ensures that the coaching experience aligns with your individual journey.
Is it confidential?
Coaches abide by the same confidentiality rules as therapists. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) contains a privacy rule that creates national standards to protect individuals' medical records and personal health information, including information about coaching sessions.
How long does it typically take to see results?
The time that your coaching process will take depends on the complexity of your goals and your commitment and openness to your process.
