Most coaching is done over the phone and a session lasts from 30 minutes to an hour. The first call includes designing the relationship you want to have with your coach. What does it take to have a safe, creative space to explore and grow? You get to build that relationship with your coach. As you learn more about how you wish to connect with your coach you can add to or redesign that relationship.
Together, you and your coach can identify areas that you are stuck, goals you wish to accomplish, and paths to move forward in your life and career. Your coach can help you find new ways of looking at a situation or explore how you are affected by a set of circumstances. A call often ends with a plan of action, whether it’s next steps or a blueprint for a transformation.
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.
