What is Professional Coaching?
Professional Coaching is an on-going partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client. The coach's job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has.
How does it work?
In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of the conversation while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. The interaction creates clarity and moves the client to action. Coaching accelerates the client's progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice.
One important distinction: coaching is not therapy. A coach is concerned with the present, and with positively impacting the client's future. The aim is for the client and coach to problem-solve together in order to help achieve specific goals.
Logistics
- The process begins with an extensive in-person or telephone interview. During this meeting, the coach and client define the working relationship, identify and prioritize the client's challenges and opportunities, and agree upon specific desired outcomes.
- Coaching sessions are held three times per month and typically last 30-minutes and are conducted by telephone.
- The content of the calls typically include: the clarification of the client's direction/vision, identifying whatever may be preventing the client from moving in that direction, setting challenging yet attainable goals, weekly assignments and follow-up emails to ensure accountability.
Please ask about receiving a complimentary 30-minute sample session. Two pro-bono/reduced fee client slots are available to qualified clients (e.g. artists, students, low-income). |
