How
is coaching different from counseling or therapy?
Perhaps the main difference is that therapy tends to deal with healing
the past, while coaching is present and future-based. A coach doesn't
look to "fix" you; I assume that you are healthy and whole. The
coaching process focuses on taking action now to create a more
extraordinary life.
How
does coaching take place?
Coaching sessions are conducted in 30 to 45 minute conversations over
the phone, from one to three times a month. We begin with a longer
"intake" session, during which we will discuss and explore your goals,
challenges, and opportunities. We will develop action steps that will
get you closer to your goals and dreams.
Since coaching takes place over the phone, you do
not have to leave your home or office, and I can work with people who
live anywhere. The client calls the coach at a designated time that we
mutually determine.
Retreat Coaching will take place in person in
small groups of up to 15 (depending on the retreat). They will
range anywhere from backpacking or rafting trips to Spas and resorts,
traveling as little as staying in the United States all the way to New
Zealand or Australia.
Why should I hire a coach?
Because life is so short. Why not take advantage of this powerful tool
to elevate your life to the next level? We are not on this planet long.
Are you willing to keep going the way you are when you can become so
much more?
What does the media say about coaching?
Money Magazine - " The benefits of coaching appear to win over even the
most cynical of clients within just a few weeks."
Business Week - "As for coaching, having someone
listen to you and encourage you, and break everything down into easy
concrete steps is rather nice."
Los Angeles Times - "It helps people get more of
what they want out of life & Coaches are sounding boards, support
systems, cheerleaders and teammates all rolled into one."
Public Personnel Management revealed a study
where training alone was compared to coaching in business combined with
training. The study showed that training alone increased productivity
by 22.4%. Training plus coaching increased productivity by 88%.
How
much will this cost?
Pricing for one on one coaching varies by length of call and times per
month. I will also take into consideration referrals and service
trading. Retreat prices will be posted next to each individual retreat
on products and services page. Airfare or travel to and from
destinations will not be covered, but when possible, special rates will
be offered.
What else do you offer?
In addition to one on one and group coaching, I am offering Adventure
coaching in
beautiful Northwest Washington on Hood Canal as well taking small
groups on adventure trips around the world. A great opportunity
to adventure and explore I also have many articles
published and coming VERY soon (March 2007) i will be selling my first
book as a co-author.
What happens when you hire a coach?
Many things, but the most important are:
*you take yourself more seriously
*you take more effective and focused actions immediately
*You stop putting up with what is dragging you down
*You create momentum so it’s easier to get results
*You set better goals that you might not have without the coach
Where do you focus with an average client?
I focus on what the client needs most. And, tend to weave in the
following discussions.
*Creating the means for new coaches to
successfully run their coaching business
*Creating a healthy LIFESTYLE and not a quick fix.
*Finding the work/life balance needed to live a healthier life
*Helping the client set and achieve goals based on Personal Values
What about people who are already doing great
in their lives. Why would they need a coach?
They might not need a coach. But it is helpful to find out: are they
doing what they most enjoy? Are they tolerating anything? Is life easy?
Are they going to be financially independent within the next 15 years?
Do they have what they most want? We’ve discovered that, often, people
need to expect more out of their lives. A coach can help this process.
