Here is some information on coaching and answers to some client questions. If you need further clarification or need more information feel free to contact me here.
What is a life coach?
A life coach is an outside person that can help you develop a plan of action to make behavior and pattern changes in your life. From helping you deal with a relationship matter (intimate, friend, or business) to showing you how to achieve your largest goals. A coach is there to give you support throughout your journey as long as you need them. Life coaching is not counseling or therapy.
A coach helps you to focus your goals and to figure out what you really want in life. Some people already know what they want and all they need is someone to help them with the plan and a coach is there to help with that as well.
Often times a coach can be a puzzle solver. You know what the task at hand is but you don’t have a strategy or know how exactly to put the pieces together to make them work. This is where I as a coach can come in and help you develop a working strategy for lasting change.
What areas do you coach clients on?
I am willing to talk about pretty much anything during the consultation. However, my coaching focuses on goal setting, relationships of all types, careers, and personal finance (setting up budgets, couples working on finances, etc).
What is the consultation about?
Our first session is the free consultation and is 5-15 minutes to see if we feel like we can work together.
Why a consultation and not just go directly into the coaching? Well, I need to know what you are wanting to work on and if it is something that I believe I can be of service for. If I don’t feel like I can help you then I will let you know and will, when possible, refer you to a coach that works with your particular need. You also need to know that you can work with me. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions and see if I am a good fit for you as a coach. If we both feel that we can work together we will setup an appointment to do our first session.
How many sessions will this take?
That depends on you. Some people find what they are looking for after one session with a coach. Some people decide to continue coaching for months or years.
Where do appointments take place?
Anywhere! Coaching sessions can be done over the phone, via Skype, or in person if my calendar allows for those in the West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky tri-state region.
What payments do you accept?
You can pay by check, money order, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express.
