Question:
What happens in a Life Coaching session?
Each session is tailored to you and will vary based on your needs. In the beginning, we'll discuss what you are committed to accomplishing through our work together + we'll begin to create a plan to achieve your goals. Periodically, I'll give you assignments to help direct your progress. We'll work together to acknowledge obstacles, explore alternate perspectives + celebrate successes. With the conclusion of each session, we'll revisit your goals + evaluate the next steps needed to achieve these results.
Question:
Do I really need a Coach, or can I just go it alone?
Life coaching can take you above + beyond your own personal limitations. More often than not, people try to achieve their greatest potential, but don’t even realize what stands in their way. A personal Coach can offer an unbiased + objective perspective, and can help you realize your patterns and habits. Most people experience that they are more efficient when working with a Professional Life Coach and that this provides the opportunity for them to better realize their potential. Life coaching can make your dreams attainable and will give you support and encouragement along the way.
Question:
How is coaching different from therapy?
While the life coaching I provide can be therapeutic, it is not therapy. Coaching is distinct from traditional therapy because it is not designed to address psychological issues. While emotional issues may arise, the primary focus of life coaching is to help you identify your goals + achieve them, while developing constructive habits + skills. There is little emphasis placed on the past with coaching, but instead the focus is on creating what you want now and in the future.
Question:
What is your cancellation policy?
I require a 24 hour notice to cancel all sessions. Please be sure to contact me if you will not be able to make your scheduled appointment in order to avoid being charged for the session.
Question:
How long do people generally work with a Life Coach?
To experience the effectiveness of a life coaching program, I suggest clients make an initial three-month commitment. At the end of the three months, we'll evaluate progress and discuss options for continued coaching.
Question:
Is personal life coaching confidential?
What we discuss will be held in confidence and not shared with others. However, our discussions are not privileged for legal purposes. The privilege of confidentiality that exists for the clergy, therapists and attorneys is not granted to coaching professionals. That said, life coaching is a confidential process, and your personal information will always be protected.
