Each Professional Coach has his or her own style of coaching clients. I would like you to know how I coach, what I expect of my clients, and what my clients can expect of me.
How I work.
I work with clients globally by telephone and e-mail, and also locally, using the same method. I also coach face to face.
I make direct requests.
From time to time, I will make a direct request, like "Will you accomplish X by the end of the month? You many accept the request, counter-offer (like say what you can do) or decline (rare).
I don’t step over much.
When I hear a funny tone in your voice, or notice something amiss, I will ask you about it. Often, it is these small moments which offer the chance to resolve something.
I ask provocative questions.
I trust you to have your own answers. I create the opportunity for you to hear them. I am trained to help you reveal your own wisdom with as much ease as possible.
Who I work with.
Confidentiality
All of our interactions will remain strictly confidential, meaning I will not share any information provided by you with anyone, without your express consent.
Availability
You may contact me outside of our scheduled sessions, if you prefer not to wait until our next formal meeting. You are encouraged to stay in touch with me via email, as this provides an easily accessible way for me to monitor your progress, and to add extra insights during our time together. I generally do not coach during the last week of the month – please respect this time.
Commitments and Integrity
- If I make a promise to you, it will be kept.
- If I am unable to keep a commitment, I will notify you of this as soon as possible.
- I will deal with you in the highest standard of integrity, honesty, professionalism, and respect.
- I am adamant about delivering high value to my clients.
- I will let you know if I feel my involvement is not likely to make a positive difference in your life.
Non-Judgmental Attitude
I am not here to judge right or wrong. My position is to coach the “real you” in the life you want. As there are times when you will share information that may make you vulnerable, I assure you that I will treat your choices and actions (past, present, and future) with respect.
Tenacity About Your Progress
As you have hired me to grow, I know that some of the best value I can deliver to you comes through the “tough places” you may be unwilling to visit on your own. I will give honest feedback, ask challenging questions, give assignments designed to challenge your comfort, make you accountable to your commitments, and every once in a while give you a gentle, always caring kick in the behind.
In coaching, you can expect information, advice, support, collaboration, strategies, continuous presence, energy, creativity, availability, and partnership.
30 Day Risk-Free Guarantee
If, within the first 30 days of our coaching relationship, you feel that the process in unlikely to make a difference in your life and/or business, please let me know and I will refund your month’s fee.
