Build a Life - Build a Legacy: Coaching Services

Coaching Services

Never confuse knowledge with wisdom. One helps you earn a living, the other helps you build a life. - Sandra Carey

What happens during a coaching session? How does it work?

Coaching generally takes place by phone. A customized schedule is created to suit you. Most people prefer three regularly scheduled 30-minute calls each month, with unlimited e-mail support between sessions. You may also, on special occasions, call between scheduled appointments for a quick session to share a success or respond to a crisis.

During our weekly meeting, you will

      - set the agenda
      - uncover goals based on what you want, not the "coulda, shoulda, oughta"
      - identify current challenges
      - create strategies and action plans
      - celebrate successes

You are an active participant in coaching. Each session will include discussions, strategizing, implementation review, support, and when needed, training on specific areas. At the end of each call, you will create your own field work to be completed before the next session. These steps will help you implement, reflect upon and take action on your goals.

As your coach, I will

      - Listen to you fully with no judgments
      - Point out options that you may not have seen
      - Challenge you to solve problems
      - Brainstorm for new solutions
      - Expect more of you than you expect of yourself
      - Keep you focused on your objectives
      - Role play
      - Put you in touch with others in my network who may be able to help you
      - Acknowledge your hard work and efforts
      - Help you create an action plan
      - Double your goal
      - Be your resource, friend, sounding board and cheerleader

However, I will not do the work for you. If there is a roadblock that keeps you from achieving, together we will explore it, resolve it and keep moving forward. We will set a pace that is comfortable for you and we will work together to achieve the goals you have established.

Fees for coaching start at $250 per month, plus the long distance charges if my telephone number is a long distance call for you.*

Considering Coaching? Arrange a Complimentary Session First.
Schedule a complimentary half-hour appointment now to learn more about creating a coaching partnership. During our call, we will talk about what it is that you would like to accomplish during coaching and learn more about each other. If you decide that you would like to work with me, and I feel that I can meet your needs, we will establish a mutually convenient time to speak on a regular basis.

Once our partnership begins, you will have access to many programs and materials developed by Coach U and by CoachVille:

      - Clean Sweep Program
      - Personal Foundation Program
      - The Reserve Program
      - Tolerations Program
      - Tru Values Program
      - NeedLess Program
      - New Business Start-Up Program
      - Extreme Self-Care Program

I value confidentiality. All of our discussions and email exchanges are private. What you are doing, what you have accomplished, the goals you set, and any personal or business information you share, will remain entirely between us. My goal is to always create a safe space for you. As a professional coach, I am a proud member of the International Coach Federation (ICF) and subscribe fully to their ethical standards.
