T. 705 8264641Of course, every person is different, has unique needs, and special circumstances that must be factored into a process such as Life Coaching. Sue recognizes these truths, and has also evolved a process that effectively serves as a foundation to realize each person’s goal. Here are some of the key elements in her approach.
Initial Meeting
The purpose of having a coach is help you can see/hear your thoughts in words and be able to speak them aloud. It is a fact that the priorities will begin to self-select and become even more clear to you once you are able to articulate them well. This is undertaken with the understanding that your life is still moving forward. In other words, you’ll be painting the train while it’s moving.
The Life Coaching process involves an initial meeting to review your current situation and your vision for the future. You will be given a list of questions to initiate a new thought process encouraging you to define some of the key elements.
We will look at your needs, wants and expectations. We identify your values. Once there is an understanding of what your life looks like, to yourself and others, we will identify the gaps and dis-connects. Then you are empowered to begin the process of designing your future. We start to develop a plan to create a personal context congruent to your life purpose.
Designing Your Future
Based on the review of the information received during the initial meeting, you will be required to develop your ideas about the areas that need focus to achieve balance and commitment.
My role is to identify what you will need to attain the goal you have identified, including living with purpose and passion, from a place of love. As your coach I will work with you to develop a plan that is mutually favorable and effective.
Six Month Coaching Program
Throughout the time we work together, one of the most important elements includes defining your intentions. Intentions are stated in the present moment and in the first person. It is something one is being, rather than doing.
Like life, intentions are organic, so there is always the possibility you will recreate them again and again. The process of defining them in the present will give you the tools to keep on track in the future too, as your life evolves. But once the intentions are defined in our sessions together, you’ll set goals and develop a plan to commit to them.
Weekly, one-hour telephone conversations will be scheduled supplemented by face-to-face reviews every three months. During our weekly calls, I will take notes and feed back to you, what you have said and agreed to, providing positive reinforcement key to keeping on track. This process is ongoing however it covers a period of time that is a minimum of 6 months to one year for optimum effectiveness.
On each call, we will first work on skills to bring you into the present moment and increase your level of awareness. Then we will review your expectations and events of the previous week. Each meeting we will develop skills to define your life purpose. Then goals and commitments will be confirmed and you will be provided with feedback on your progress. I will make every effort to be available to you at times convenient to you, supplemented by unlimited email correspondence as required.
Know that you are the only one who can be sure you are achieving the success you desire in your life. As a coach, I see the potential, I will reflect back to you what you say, and guide you through a creative process that generates success; but you yourself must do the work to make it work!
There is no cost for a 30 minute orientation phone session for new clients. The fee for the six month coaching program is $500.00 a month, billed on the first of each month, plus HST. To demonstrate your commitment in this process, we ask that fees be paid in advance each month. Payment may be made by cheque, Visa, or PayPal. Additional phone calls will be billed separately.
Alternative Three Month Program
For those who have more time available to work intensely over the course of a shorter duration, we can implement a program over three months rather than six months. The key elements of the program remain the same:
- Initial Meeting and personal plan development
- Two weekly one hour coaching on the phone
- First and final sessions are Face to Face
- Ongoing unlimited email support
- $1,000.00 a month (billed in advance on the first of each month) plus HST
- Additional phone calls will be billed separately.
