The Coaching Experience

How does coaching work?  Although each situation is different and each coach and client can define their own path, there are some steps that are commonly followed.

First, in the contracting phase, you, your coach, and your management (if relevant) will define the expectations for the coaching engagement.  This will include discussions about confidentiality as well as high level outcomes.  Click here for some typical goals for a coaching engagement.

Second, the coach will assess your current situation through conversations and use of feedback tools. 

Third, you and your coach will define specific areas of focus and develop plans to help you achieve success in reaching your goals.  This will include setting up measures so you will know when you’ve accomplished what you set out to do.
