How Does Coaching Work?
The coach and client agree upon the terms of
engagement. This includes length of the engagement (minimum 6
months commitment), frequency and lengths of meetings, client and coach
expectations, and professional fees and payment terms.
Coaching engagements can be one-on-one, one coach
working with a team, several coaches working with a group, or what we
call "triad" coaching - two coaches working with one client. Most
of our clients utilize a model of meeting twice a month, for 55 minutes
each session. Some clients prefer to work more intensively at the
beginning of the engagement; we are happy to accommodate your requests.
Our coaching services
are typically delivered via telephone (Skype videoconferencing
available), which allows for maximum flexibility for clients. We also
coach in-person, when that makes sense for the client, schedule- and
budget-wise. Email support is available in-between coaching sessions.
In addition, we offer customized initial or periodic 1-3 day coaching
retreats for individuals or teams, in various locations around the
world.
We will work with you to
set goals at the beginning of the engagement, and be your accountability
partner for those goals. We will celebrate with you when you
achieve them, work through it with you when you feel stuck, and help you
set the next goals.
You will find the style
of our coaches to be professional, direct, fun, funny, high-energy and
very effective, in terms of seeing results from our work. We will
challenge, encourage, teach and be a partner with you.

Why Does it Work?
Coaching works because all of us achieve more when we set
goals, and have someone to help us reach those goals and hold us accountable.
It is very difficult to truly know how we are being, and to get honest, unbiased
feedback from the people in our daily lives. A coach is a partner with no
agenda but yours. Your coach will be highly skilled at listening, asking
the right questions and connecting the dots between who you say you want to be,
and how your actions and behavior align with that vision. We also have
many resources to offer in support of your growth - concepts, models and tools.
Most of us get really excited when we
have a great idea, or come up with a list of worthy goals.
But without regular follow-up, those good intentions often
are not acted upon. Coaching is a vehicle that not
only kick-starts good ideas, but creates ongoing momentum
for turning them into reality.
