Good. Better. Best. Which self do you want to be?
I want you to benefit greatly from the time we have together each week and also during the time in- between our calls. This brief guide is what most of my clients do to maximize the value of their coaching experience.
Coaching works best when you have clear goals which are based on your needs and values. If you are not sure what your goals/wants should be, that's where we'll start our coaching sessions.
(This is included in your Welcome Package). The Clean Sweep program is an essential element in a strong personal foundation and all of my clients work this program. As soon as you receive this assessment test of 100 questions, start handling at least one item per week. Keep me posted on your current score.
Working with a sensitive and empathic coach is a healthy way to grow. Most clients hire a coach to accomplish several specific goals and much of the time and focus is on these goals. Yet, with coaching, don't be surprised if you discover new things about yourself or, if you find your goals adjusting themselves to who you really are. This discovery process is natural, so you needn't rush it, just realize it will likely happen. There are several assessment programs you will be working on that will directly help this process. Feel free to discuss this with me when you wish. I deal with the WHOLE person.
Part of working with me as your coach is that I will ask a lot of you. Not so much that you can't handle it, I hope, but certainly more than you may have been asked recently. I need you to be willing to experiment with fresh approaches and be open to redesign the parts of your life that you are able to right now. This openness will help you more easily reach your goals and live an integrated and fulfilled personal and professional life, using the gifts you have and enjoying life as it was meant to be enjoyed. And before this sounds like a Hallmark Card (grin!), let me tell you the kinds of things I need for you to be willing to do. Please be willing to:
We have a set amount of time together and you will want to have a written list of the things you want to share and discuss.
We have work to do together, but please enjoy the session with me. After several sessions, you may find that we take a little time to catch up on those parts of your life that mean a lot to you -- or you may want to share something personal and confidential. And after several months (perhaps sooner), you may find that we even laugh a lot during the session--at life, how you've grown, how things happen. Coaching sessions aren't gabfests, but they are enjoyable, for both of us. They needn't be intense and it shouldn't be an effort for you to produce the miracles you know are possible. But feel free to set the tone and I will respect what you need in this area.
Coaching can require energy: Emotionally, intellectually and physically. Given this, I want you to take extraordinary care of your well-being while being coached. Only you know what this looks like, but I suggest you go much further than you ever have in this regard. The place to start is to develop a list of Ten Delicious Daily Habits which keep you well. Make yourself a promise to do these things for your SELF. They will and should change over time, but some examples to help you get started are:
This is not homework like in school. These are tasks, actions, results or changes that you are telling yourself and me that you will do your best to complete before our next session. You must apply yourself and use the homework to help you achieve your personal and professional goals.
