Coaches work with people who are looking to make changes in their life. We are not therapists. We partner with clients using assessment tools and powerful questioning in order to support goals and solutions, and challenge the obstacles that are preventing positive change from occurring. At LifeQuest, the client sets the agenda. Most sessions are by telephone and the initial sesssion is complimentary.

The Initial Coaching Session:

Before the initial session, coaching clients will be mailed a start up packet, including personal information fact sheet - questions about what they hope to achieve by hiring a coach, coaching agreement and other logistical forms. The coaching agreement and some other logistical information will be included, as well. If you don't understand what is sent, please call your coach for clarification. Coaching sessions are set by the client, but usually are 30 minutes or one hour sessions.

Fees:

Payment is made in person if coaching is face to face or monthly, if the client would like to receive coaching via telephone or e-mail.

Subsequant sessions:

Before each session, the client will fill out a session preparation form that helps the coach know what the client would like to focus their attention on during that particular session. This form will need to be e-mailed or faxed to the coach 24 hours prior to the session.

What To Expect:

When a client begins the coaching process, their initial sessions can be difficult. Many people struggle to expect to reach their full potential and purpose in life. Each session is built around achieving the client's desired goals, dreams and purpose.

Timeframes:

Coaching concentrates primarily on the present and the future. Coaching does not usually focus on the past or on the past's impact on the present.

Expertise:

Coaches are experts in the coaching process. They do not advise, diagnose, direct or design solutions for the client. The coach makes requests of the client to promote action towards the client's desired outcome. The client is fully responsible to take action and the coach acts as a support and accountability partner.

Use of information:

The information drawn from the coaching client is used by the coach to promote the client's awareness and choice of action. This information is not used to evaluate performance or produce reports for anyone but the person being coached.

Results:

Coaching is designed to help clients improve their learning, performance, and enhance their quality of life personally and/or professionally. The process is meant to be permanent, based on the habit changing tools used in coaching.
