How I coach/ What you can expect from me:
Unconditional respect and regard
– Your success is my focus in this process, I believe in you and your work
– My motivation is to see you reach your goals quickly in an enjoyable, fulfilling way.
– It can take some time to get used to this type of support, take the time you need to feel comfortable.
Confidentiality
– My client list and their work with me are private. Anything we discuss is completely confidential.
Honesty
– Integrity is vital to the coaching process; I will speak honestly in a supportive manner geared towards your growth and success. I will be straightforward and direct while supporting you in this process.
Intuition
– I may not always be right on, but I will share my “gut” feelings with you.
– If I hear a funny tone or sense something I’ll ask you about it, very often these small moments and gut feelings are a chance to resolve something and make a leap forward.
– Take the best of what I say and use your judgment on if it is accurate or not.
I have a “Down to earth” approach sprinkled (probably rather heavily) with my dry sense of humor.
– I do things in a casual way aimed at making clients feel comfortable.
– Please feel free to set the tone for our sessions and clarify if something I say isn’t clear.
– I often make fun of myself (possibly you the more comfortable we get J) please let me know if it’s “not working” for you. When in doubt about something I said, please ask!
To challenge you
– I will challenge you to think in different ways, view things differently, to try new things and work hard.
– I will ask you to start, stop or change things, and honor your right to decline, counter offer or accept these things and any other “fieldwork” assigned.
To support you
– I am here to follow up, to talk to, and to celebrate with. Sometimes just having someone there is the biggest value of a coach, use me for that.
To give straight advice
– Based on my intuition, experience and training I may give you advice on a situation. If I’m not sure, I’ll say so. Again, take it in the best way for your situation and use your judgment.
What I expect from you:
Work hard and give it your best effort
– You have already taken a big step by initiating the coaching process. Use the support to stretch and grow to accomplish the most you can.
– This is a safe environment designed for your success. Use it.
– Review the client prep form before the session to get the most out of the time.
– I will support you to the best of my ability in this process and you will do the work! (That’s a good thing, if I was doing it, it would be about me,,, and this is about YOU!)
Be honest and open
– This is about YOUR SUCCESS, not about me being right, if you disagree with something I say, tell me.
– If I inaccurately summarize, please clarify. If you feel you are not getting what you need or expect, share those feelings.
– In our discussions speak the truth, even if it’s uncomfortable, especially with yourself. Take the time you need.
