We know that a coaching session works best when:

​

• There is relaxed conversation free from the fear of judgment

• The coach is friendly, supportive, certified, experienced and a good listener

• The coaching conversations are focused and effective, dynamic and fun

​

• Sessions last an hour so there is enough time to cover topics

• Sessions are not longer than an hour so no one loses focus

​

• The coach checks with the coachee during each session to make sure they are both moving ahead in the right direction

​

• A life coaching session will probably focus on one issue or one goal

• A relationship coaching session can be for a couple or one individual in the couple

​

​

​

​

​

• The coach remembers that the coachee has unique experiences, patterns of behavior and emotions

• The coach and coachee are equal partners

​​

• Life and Relationship coaching looks to the future and the next actions, however because coachees are usually looking for some change in life direction, determining the right path may require the coachee to look at past experiences and decisions

​

 

 

 

Structured and Productive Questions

• The coach asks the right questions and in a positive way to support you in your journey to make the changes and growth you want to see

• The coach guides you to find your answers and direction more quickly than you thought possible

• Each session ends with an agreed set of the next steps or actions to take place

  Reaffirms the Coaching Conversation

• The coach summarizes part of the conversation as the session continues

• The coach takes a real interest in you and sees the whole picture

• The coach occasionally repeats what you've said for clarification

• During sessions you'll have free access to digital downloads you'll find valuable

Check-ins and Confirmations and Homework

• It's normal for your coach to give some homework because that means both of you agree to some valuable structure thinking time between sessions
