Q: What does the coaching process look like?
A: Both for individuals and teams, the coaching process begins with a Discovery questionnaire that clients complete, followed by an initial Discovery session, which generally takes place by phone (buy may also be in person) and lasts between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This initial session is designed to jumpstart the coaching relationship and get the client moving immediately toward positive, meaningful actions that produce authentic change.
After the initial Discovery session, Coaching sessions are typically scheduled three times each month, and each lasts 45 to 60 minutes. The sessions are all by phone unless the coach and client plan otherwise. Sessions generally begin with a report on your progress from the previous week, and end with a clear set of action steps you choose to take in the week ahead. Between those two benchmarks, the coach engages the client in an intentional, strategic, transformational conversation designed to inspire the client to explore his or her issues and life from new or unexpected perspectives, thus opening the door to new possibilities, actions and accomplishments. The coach provides a safe, courageous environment for client to take meaningful risks, be authentically transparent without fear, and strengthen his or her capacity for success both as a leader in the world and as a follower of Christ.
For team coaching, the process varies widely depending on the specific needs and requests laid out by the client. For a more detailed description of the team coaching process, visit our Team Coaching section of the website.
