How my coaching sessions work:
- To start, I recommend booking four, 60-90 minute coaching sessions about a week apart.
- We schedule the days and times for your sessions. You call me at the agreed upon time. These are real appointments, but we both have the flexibility to reschedule if necessary, but no later than 24-hours before the session. If you miss a session without a prior call, you pay.
- Before the first session, you complete a brief questionnaire and email or mail me a "wish list" of your communication goals. Don't edit -- just write everything down you'd like to accomplish in four sessions. I'll determine what's possible over the four sessions.
- In the first session we discuss your desired outcomes for the sessions. I begin my assessment of you communication skills.
- I give you "conversation practice assignments" based on your daily routines, activities and communication goals.
- You identify and schedule upcoming events, meetings, presentations, parties, dates, etc. where you will have an opportunity to practice what we discuss in the sessions.
- In the first part of the following session we "debrief" your prior assignments. I ask for clarification, provide feedback, discuss any new issues, situations or encounters.
- In the last part of the session we discuss upcoming events, role play upcoming situations and you get a new conversation practice assignment. I offer ongoing assessments of your progress at the end of each session.
- In the fourth session we evaluate your overall progress based on your written objectives. Then you decide if you want to continue.
