 Coaching provides supportive, encouraging, practical, and focused help. It is not psychotherapy. It is more like a sports coach, mentor, tutor, or fitness trainer. Coaching provides a conversational environment for motivation, clarity, creativity, problem solving, new skills, planning, productivity, accountability and results.
Coaching can be conducted in person, by telephone, or e-mail. It is generally conducted by telephone because it is efficient, convenient, inexpensive, focusing, practical and private.
A coach starts by listening for (and helping to identify, if necessary) clear and motivating goals for each client. Each coaching session includes the elements of listening, review, awareness and strategy. In subsequent sessions the experience of working the strategy is discussed. What strength was revealed? What internal or external obstacle encountered? Individuals become aware of their functioning and abilities in a way that was hidden from them before. We coach you through a personalized plan we develop together to accomplish your organizing goals one at a time. The plan will provide you with assignments to complete on your own or between our coaching and hands-on sessions.
We offer a coaching structure that includes three pre-paid 30 minute sessions per month. We have found that three sessions a month provide adequate consistency to keep the momentum and learning moving forward at a solid pace. In addition, making three sessions is pretty easily achieved in a month; the week off provides convenient flexibility or it can be a week where we work hands-on together on your organizing projects.
