+ How do I know 1:1 coaching is the right fit for me?
A lot of factors can go into determining the right fit, but here is a checklist to start you off:
- You have 2-4 goals in mind for over the next 6-12 months
- Working on your own (either via self-help books or attending one-day workshops) has been insufficient in seeing the results you want
- You thrive when having a partner who can hear all of you, and are then open to receiving feedback
- You are pretty clear on some patterns or habits that are contributing to what’s stopping you, but are unsure on how to reinvent those patterns
- You are currently building a team of people to support you in your development, and coaching feels like an obvious next step
If you’re still unsure, please get in touch with me via my contact form, and I am happy to go over any other questions you may have.
+ What is the typical contract commitment?
Typically 6-12 months, although they can also be ongoing. I do not offer 1:1 packages that are less than a 6-month commitment. My reasoning for this is actually backed by science. On average it takes most people 66 days to form a new habit. So the first 2 months of coaching are about breaking down old habits and building new ones to support you in achieving your goals. From there, the following months are dedicated to holding you to your new habits even when those old ones you loved so much for most of your life insist on making a return. In our last month of a contract we then get to tie up any loose ends, celebrate, and establish what is next.
+ Do you only coach clients with leadership goals?
My gut feeling is that women who want to work with me are most likely a leader in some capacity, but rarely in 1:1 relationships do I only coach on leadership. My coaching methods explore the interrelated factors that make up where you currently are, where you want to be, and what behaviors and circumstances are most obviously in your way. As an example, if you are struggling with training a team in meeting your expectations in a project, you may also be struggling with having your needs met in your relationship. So we will likely have 3-4 areas of focus as we work on your goals during our engagement.
