"We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
The old skin has to be shed before the new one can come." ~ Joseph Campbell
Our first session will be an extended session lasting from 1.5 - 2 hours. You will help me get to know you and what is important to you. We will talk in more detail about what brings you to coaching and identify strategies we can use that will meet your needs. As with each of our sessions, you will leave with some 'take home' work to do before our next session. These are activities that will move you forward and deepen your learning, based on what you have chosen to be coached on.
We will typically work together twice a month with each session lasting 45 minutes. In between our sessions we can exchange emails, as needed, to continue the work we did in our session, to clarify anything that comes up and to keep you accountable to the next steps you've committed to taking. I am your coach 24/7, not just when we're in a session.
I coach on the telephone, even with my clients in St. Louis. I assure you that it is as effective as it would be were we to meet in person. I use the telephone because it provides access for clients no matter where they reside in the world and it also provides a convenience, not requiring travel time. If you are in the St. Louis area, we can meet for introductions in person but our coaching will still be phone-based. For those who do not live in the area, I always make an effort to connect if I am in your locale.
How long do people engage in coaching? As long as they find it beneficial! I ask that my clients commit to three months because change does not (usually) occur overnight. I have clients who continue coaching with me for several years as they are still discovering and moving forward.
Getting Started
Getting started is easy. Once you've made a decision to be coached, I will send you a packet of materials including questions and exercises. These will help you take a snap shot of your life and focus us on your initial goals for coaching.Our first session will be an extended session lasting from 1.5 - 2 hours.
