What is a Coaching Consultation? |
What happens during a Coaching Session? 
What is a Coaching ConsultationWe believe that people can change. We believe that relationships can change. We want to help you make those changes. Coaching at its' best focuses on client results. We believe that every one is unique and requires solutions that best fit their situation. Our Pathway Coach will help you personalize an action plan that fits your life circumstances, personality, values and problem-solving style. By the end of each Coaching session you will have a clear understanding about the steps to take to make the changes you want. Another advantage of Coaching is the encouragement you will receive from your Coach for your accomplishments, your solution-oriented steps and your victories. There are many ups and downs in the process of making changes in your life. A Coach understands this and can give you the support you need to stick with your plan. What happens during a Coaching Session?Before you call, you should give some thought to the question, "What are my goals for the Coaching session?" What kind of help am I asking my Coach for? Be as specific as possible. As an example, instead of saying, "I want to communicate with my spouse", you might say, "We are on the verge of divorce and I would like you to help me find some ways to send the message that I am changing to my spouse". The clearer you can be about where you need help, the more help you will get. At the beginning of the session you will want to give your coach a brief description of the problems you are experiencing. You won't need to go into great detail. Offer your Coach highlights of events that have brought you to your current situation. You may want to write down notes before your call to help you stay focused. Your Pathway Coach will e-mail or fax a "Coaching Preparedness Sheet" to you prior to your session to also help you focus on getting the most out of Coaching. Your Coach will ask what you have already tried to make the changes you want, which efforts worked and which haven't. After your Coach has an understanding about your goals, the events leading to your current situation, what you have tried in the past, it will be time to work on new ideas, strategies and ways of approaching your situation. Your Coach may give "homework" related to the ideas you discussed during the session. The Coach will help you clarify your situation and offer suggestions about what to do next. Remember Coaching is very results centered. How often will I speak to my Coach?Some people schedule one session and find that it is enough to get them going in the right direction. More often, people schedule several sessions. Your Coach will want to allow time in between sessions for you to put the plans discussed into action and observe the results.
