Q. What is coaching?
A. Coaching is a partnership specifically designed to help you create the life and future that you desire. Jeannine can help you clarify what you really want, identify and work around blocks, determine a course of action and keep you on track to mastering your life.
Coaching synthesizes the best from psychology, business, transformational change, finance, philosophy and spirituality to benefit you. It is different from consulting, friendship, therapy or advice. It is a special type of relating that catalyzes the attainment of your chosen goals and outcomes. Such a relationship can transform lives.
Coaching can cover issues of career guidance, time management, goal setting, family relations, physical wellness, financial guidance, creativity, lowering stress, fitness, self-confidence, spiritual discovery, education and more.
Q. How and where is coaching done?
There are many techniques involved in coaching. It also entails a special kind of listening on the part of the coach. The telephone facilitates both of these the best, therefore all of my sessions are done over the phone. For two or more people we use speaker phone, bridge lines or three-way calling. It works very well.
Workshops are done locally. If your group or area has enough interest, I will come to your area to deliver a workshop.
Coaching is an active event. It is not talk therapy. The mechanics are that you, as client, call in at your appointed time. We clear the space of immediate life turmoil and step into the process of designing your life. At times I will teach, at times I will mentor, but mostly I am a reflection of your choices and actions. What is in line with the life you desire to have? What is getting in the way? Sometimes we will explore your powerful future, sometimes we will look at how you are balancing your life, sometimes we will look at values, sometimes we'll just sit and be with what is and watch what emerges.
Even though all session coaching is done over the telephone. If you are local, we can meet face to face for our first session. I've done discovery sessions next to a river, while taking a walk, at coffee shops, and in my office; you get to design that too. Whatever works for you.
Q. What about coaching makes it successful?
A. Coaching works because of three characteristics: synergy, structure and expertise. In partnership with a coach you are able to accomplish much more than you would alone. You take more action, think bigger and get desires results faster.
Q. How will having a coach help me reach my goals?
A. Statistics gathered by the American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) reveal the probability of completing a goal under varying levels of commitment/actions on your part.
If you:
- Hear an idea there is a 10% probability you will complete your goal
- Consciously decide to adopt it you have a 25% chance
- Decide when you will do it the probability rises to 40%
- Plan how you will do it chances rise to 50%
- Commit to someone else, you will do it 65% of the time
- If you have a specific accountability appointment with someone,
there is a 95% likelihood you will attain your goal
Having a coach makes a big difference in actualizing your goals.
Q. Can't I just talk with my partner or a close friend?
A. Close friends are fabulous allies, but even those who love us the most see us through eyes conditioned by past experiences. Some might even be intimidated by our wishes for a bigger life. A coach comes from a place of objectivity and non-judgmental confidentiality. A coach will help you make decisions that will move you in the direction YOU want to go. A coach is 100% committed to you, to your happiness, to your success, and in my case, to your fabulously designed life.
Q. What does coaching cost?
A. You can design your coaching fees like you can most anything else. Depending on the option you choose, your sessions will typically cost between $50 and $100. Most clients find that a minimum 3-month time period is needed to make substantial changes in their life and relationships.
All individual sessions require a discovery/design session: $100.00 ($150.00 for two people).
