What to Expect During a Coaching Session

Deciding to engage in coaching is a commendable first step towards self-improvement. Coaching and mentoring sessions offer a rewarding journey of personal development.

Typically, a coaching session involves meeting in person or online to discuss your frustrations, challenges, aspirations, and ideas. Each session begins with a coaching agreement outlining the focus of that meeting. We collaborate to define what success looks like for you and how we'll measure the success.

As a coach, my role is to set up and uphold the coaching agreement, foster trust and safety, listen actively, prompt personal awareness, and support your growth in a non-judgmental space.

Your role is to bring any concerns, issues, and thoughts into our discussions. We conclude each session with a review and a forward-looking plan that encourages continuous growth and advancement.

Most sessions are approximately 60 minutes and are designed to be structured yet adaptable to your unique goals and needs. Here's what you might expect:

1. Warm-Up and Rapport Building: We start with a casual conversation to build rapport and ease into a productive mindset.

2. Goal Setting: You'll articulate your goals for the session, whether they're related to career, leadership, or personal development, to ensure a focused and fruitful session.

3. Exploration and Insight: Through probing questions, we'll delve into your thoughts, emotions, and actions to uncover insights and identify any hurdles or challenges.

4. Action Planning: We'll craft a strategy for moving forward, setting specific SMART steps to achieve your goals.

It is important to remember that coaching is client-led. This means that your coach isn't here to give you all the answers, but more so, to help guide you through invoked awareness and brainstorming to find your conclusions and help you develop your strategies.

I hope this helps explain the coaching process and gives more insight into what a coaching session would be like. You didn't come this far to stop now. Reach out and set up a free discovery call with us. We believe everyone can benefit from coaching.
