Our introductory conversation lasts about an hour and achieves two goals. The first goal is to get to know one another and see if there is a good fit for coaching. I will listen carefully to your story and help refine and clarify the issues needing to be resolved. We will talk about how a coaching relationship works, the benefits of having a steady guide, and answer any questions. If we agree there is a good fit, the second goal is to formulate a plan and outline a contract together that accurately reflects the details of the engagement. We will formalize the detail in a subsequent meeting. Once the contract is in place, the coaching engagement can begin.

During the next coaching session, our objective will be to review initial goals and set up any assessments. I use a number of validated assessment instruments from trusted providers such as Gallup (CSF2.0), Wiley (PXT, PXTS), and E-Colors by Equilibria. Finally, I will introduce the Leadership Dashboard, which will serve as a guiding document throughout our coaching relationship. 

This is where the rewarding work of coaching really begins as we meet to debrief your assessment results. We will then schedule our next sessions to meet your stated objective through custom frameworks. The schedule will be determined by you. It is common for the first month or two to meet every week or every other week. We will FRAME the problem to establish clarity of vision, REIMAGINE creative solutions and EXECUTE with a high level of accountability.
