How does the coaching process and methodology work?

Coaching starts with a 'discovery session' where we will develop an understanding of your strengths, accomplishments, problem areas, skills, values and motivations and establish your objectives and goals for our coaching engagement.  

If required, we can integrate assessment tools into our coaching (e.g. Hogan , MBTI, Clifton Strengths, Enneagram). We can also incorporate 360 degree reviews to establish your starting point baseline, clarify areas to focus on and can measure your progress at the end of the engagement.

In subsequent sessions, you will drive the agenda and direct where you want to focus our time. We will explore different perspectives, identify underlying beliefs or emotions that may be limiting your success, and develop tools to strengthen your skills and develop new habits. The key learning happens between sessions and we will agree on action items that will  further your  learning and help you grow.

While coaching sessions typically occur on a biweekly or monthly basis, there is ongoing support between sessions via email and text.

As a Co-Active trained coach, I subscribe to the belief that everyone is on a journey of lifelong transformation. We are constantly changing and evolving and each journey is unique to the individual. Our coaching will look at the whole you not just a subset of your life. Coaching will  challenge your thinking, help you gain new perspectives, deepen your self-awareness and develop resonance out of dissonance.  The Co-Active coaching methodologies and tools are backed by evidence-based neuroscientific research. Creating new ways of thinking and acting requires you to  push past previously learned approaches. Traditional learning and development approaches  can have a quick, but short-lived effect. Instead, our coaching is focused on creating sustainable transformation that continues far beyond our coaching engagement.
