That knowledge may come as clients move forward toward personal and professional goals that will give them the life they really want, but it should not be the focus of a coaching relationship. According to Thomas Leonard, simply put, it is that we humans are great, that we re all discovering what we really want, and that we can get what we want faster and easily by having a coach who s been there and who can help us. Synergy between the coach and client creates momentum. Better goals are set ones that naturally pull the client toward the goal rather than goals that require that push themselves to the goal. The client develops new skills which translate into more success.
Executive coaches charge more and some clients work with a coach for an hour or two a week.
Most coaches also ask for a three to six month commitment but usually let you stop immediately if coaching is not working for you right now. The possibilities are endless. You are not limited by geography in any way in your search for the right coach. E-mails can be sent in between phone calls to your coach if necessary, before the next scheduled session. Your coach never has to know how you look unless you choose to provide this information.
