How is coaching structured?
Regular weekly coaching sessions are scheduled by telephone or in person. Goal setting takes place during the first couple of sessions. Clients are responsible for bringing an agenda of items to discuss for each session. Strategies, with the end goals in mind, are developed to propel clients to move forward. The coach checks in with them weekly to make sure they are on target in reaching their goals. If a client encounters obstacles, they are often worked through more quickly and easily with the assistance of the coach and action steps are then created to resolve the concern.
