The Coaching Process

…for transformational success!
You (the coachee) are the critical component in the coaching process. You are responsible for your achievements and success. This is a key distinction from the consulting process, in which the hired consultant provides a solution and action plan and takes ownership for driving results. The coaching process is very different. In the coaching process, you are the driver of your success. The coach partners with you to facilitate the actualization of goals. The key to the process is the synergy of our partnership.

All too often, a goal is identified and a solution is immediately sought. In my unique coaching process, you first evaluate the relationship you have to the goal(s) at hand. For example, what behaviors are needed to manifest the goal? What are your hidden and nonhidden beliefs about the goal? How do behaviors and beliefs work for you or against you and how do we plan in order to ensure success? Together we define and refine your goals - creating a definitive picture of what you want to achieve and the elements required to achieve your goals. Together we then look at strengths, weaknesses, natural abilities, and areas you need to develop. We go beyond completing tasks and to-do lists to a level of understanding core attitudes, beliefs, and their impact on you as you work the coaching process. By integrating your emotional and intellectual self, you will achieve transformational success.

Who hires a coach?

Anyone can hire a personal coach. This includes you, me, an executive, a business owner, a clerk, a student, a technician, a stay-at-home parent, or Joe the plumber. Anyone can achieve extra ordinary results with the help of a personal coach who has the skill to activate and inspire the natural drive that resides within each of us. Professional athletes have understood this fact for years. Professional coaches help maximize techniques, facilitate improved performance, and drive exceptional results. Professional coaches help you keep your eye on the ball.  And in the case of personal coaching - the ball is your life!

What’s in it for me?
Inspiration, tools, techniques, and wisdom support you throughout the coaching process as you create transformative, lifelong results. Just as a professional athletic coach supports an award-winning athlete, my personal coaching supports you by leveraging your natural skills and abilities to push through ceilings and walls to create success and drive results. (Yes, you have skills you can leverage right now. Today!)

Who does John work with?

I work with people from all walks of life, all income brackets, and all lifestyles: People who are ready, willing, and able to take the steps needed to forge ahead. People who have a spark, a drive, a thirst - just like an athlete - to take on the world one day at a time. People who want a compassionate approach and a process that supports who they are and what they want to accomplish. The common drive of my clients is the willingness to change, take ownership, and be a steward of their own destiny.

Common Client Themes:
·         Blocked or stuck
·         Want to connect to something bigger, but unclear how to map it out
·         Overwhelmed, tired, drained, and lost
·         Disconnected from themselves; want help to reconnect and define life goals and aspirations
·         At the top of their game, have completed many developmental goals, but want to kick it up
        a notch
and go for it!
·         Need to be challenged and supported to take big leaps

Where does my coaching take place?

Coaching can be done in person or on the phone. The typical client coaches by telephone so they can connect anytime and anywhere. The advantages of the telephone are:

·         Time: Blocking off an hour for a phone call is easier than blocking off an hour for an
       appointment that requires travel. Schedules are full and time-management demands are
       high.
·         Confidentiality: The ability to communicate with me from the privacy of your home or office
        ensures that you are in a place that promotes the honesty and openness required to ensure
        success.
·         Location: We live in a mobile world, and many of us travel for work. Coaching need not stop
        because you travel or move. We can connect anytime and anywhere.
