Process:
Here is what the process looks like, if you are interested:
- 30-minute intro session–to meet you, give you more information about coaching and the process, hear about what your goals are/how you’d like to grow as a leader, and determine if you’d like to proceed.
- 8 – 12, 1-hour leadership coaching sessions during the course of 4-6 months (your choice, 6 months is most common, but flexibility is given to meet your needs and have this be the most powerful experience for you).
Additional Details:
- Coaching is conducted via Zoom or phone.
- Participants and session content are strictly confidential.
- Participants help drive the coaching process by bringing topics that are important to them to the sessions (topics vary widely, but are often focused on the development of specific leadership skills and mindsets, goal achievement and fulfillment, areas you want to deepen your awareness and learning, and areas where you feel stuck that you want to change).
