COACHING
Discovery
- An initial session to set goals for the coaching and share background, experience, current job responsibilities and future options and aspirations.
- One or more individual assessments as appropriate for your goals and interests.
Insight
- Development process through a series of one-on-one discussions on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis
- Sessions are usually one hour and can be conducted in person, by video conference or by phone
Action
- Each coaching session starts with your goals and ends with action steps
- The time between sessions gives you the opportunity to practice what you’ve discussed and learned
- New sessions include follow-up and assessment of results from your actions
Assessments Include:
- 360° Behavioral Feedback Survey
- Qualitative 360° Feedback based on interviews with key stakeholders
- CliftonStrengths or VIA-Individual Strengths profile
- M-CODE assessment of your core motivations
- DISC Behavioral Style
- Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
- Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Styles Inventory
A typical coaching engagement could be:
- Four sessions over 1-2 months to discuss a specific challenge or opportunity
- Eight sessions over 2-4 months to gain clarity on your leadership strengths and practice what you learn
- Twelve sessions over 3-6 months for in-depth work on several skills or challenges
- Some assessments, such as a behavioral 360 survey, may be repeated to assess changes seen by others
- You decide when the coaching process is complete (and one of my jobs as a coach is to “work myself out of a job” by helping you internalize self-coaching behaviors)
