My coaching process is personalised to each client.  However, there are some general steps that we follow: Chemistry Call: a free call of a minimum of 15 minutes, to see if / how we can work together.  Contracted Agreement: is outlined and weekly sessions are planned. The contract is emailed, signed and returned before the first coaching session.   First session: Getting to know you and your specific context and hopes. I call this setting the Agenda. Stories may be shared.   Following Sessions: Building Self Awareness, discovering your 24 Character Strengths. Goal setting: Once we know your goals, I  work with you SMART to set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals. Planning: in the direction of your chosen goal We will co-create a plan to help you achieve your goals. This plan will include specific steps that you agree to act on. This is called Experimenting.  The Learning that comes from weekly feedback is explored. I  will provide you with personalised options to move you in the direction of your chosen goals. This coaching relationship will include support, guidance, (sometimes, agreed mentoring) and accountability. I call this the Process. Reflection:  l encourage you to reflect on your progress and make adjustments to your plan as needed. This can be uncomfortable at times and I ask questions respecting your willingness to dig deeper. Tools and models of coaching are applied explaining the rationale for using each. A notebook is encouraged and is part of the ongoing learning process.  The Newly Growing Path: This evolves over sessions and may not become clear until exploring and experimenting is complete. Building Confidence. I call Practice. Tools and approaches are offered to support you to be enabled with your personalised new ways of doing. Coaching supports an efficient approach to Behaviour Change.  Celebration: This is your opportunity to recognise what you have grown. I call this GrowingANew. This is perhaps where we say farewell. Celebration is welcomed throughout our coaching sessions.   Behaviour Change that is meaningful and long-lasting evolves through steps and practice. During the stages of the coaching, a mid-assessment of the value of the learning is made. Feedback is requested within each session.  As clarity develops, a goal can be identified. A goal may even change. Steps to where you want to go may need to be refined after experimenting.  I propose that if you are new to coaching, you will gain valuable insight, through a  6 week commitment.   When working with teams or groups over a longer period, through transitions, I advise having specified check-in points to review learning and application, as a review to plan forward efficiently and effectively.
