· All information shared
during a session is kept strictly confidential.
· Most
life coaching takes place over the phone. Business coaching
can be designed for the appropriate mix of face-to-face and phone
sessions, according to the desires of the client and logistics.
Where geographically possible, I prefer to do the first coaching session
in person, but this isn’t a necessity.
· Some clients find it hard to believe that coaching can be effective over the phone. The best way to experience this is to arrange a complimentary sample session. Most reputable coaches offer this service, and clients should avail themselves of this offer before committing to a coach.
Complimentary Sample Session (no strings attached)
· To get a better understanding of coaching, and determine if it’s right
for you, Green Side Up Coaching offers a complimentary 30-minute sample
session over the phone.
· You can bring anything to this session: a situation in your life,
a need for more balance, a career choice, etc. Or we can explore where
you are in your life, what you’d like more or less of.
· Whatever the topic, you’ll walk away knowing you’ve been heard. You may even gain a new perspective on your current situation, or an action to help move you forward!

· We'll
"meet" weekly for 45 to 60-minute sessions. The initial commitment
is for 3 months, after which our agreement will be month-to-month.
·
During our initial sessions, we'll design our alliance and answer any questions you may have. We’ll discuss where you are today, and clearly identify the motivating purpose that has brought you to coaching. We’ll also begin the process of identifying what shifts you’d like to see in your life.· Since these initial sessions will set the foundation for our relationship, we’ll talk logistics (schedule, payment, etc), discuss how you’d like your coach to be (design the coach), and introduce some coaching tools and terminology so you’ll know what to expect (educate the client).
· You bring the agenda to each session. During the call, I’ll
ask questions, we’ll explore different perspectives, and I’ll hold
you accountable for your commitments.
· Although we’ll deal with current situations and issues in your life, I’ll ensure that we don’t lose sight of the bigger picture: the changes you seek in your life.
· Since much of the learning in coaching comes from the introspection and action taken between sessions, I may give you a powerful question to ponder, or request that you take a specific action before your next session. These assignments serve to deepen your learning and keep you in action.
