What happens in the coaching session?
In coaching sessions, you get to pick the area you want to focus on, whether it's something personal or related to your career. You then set a goal for the session, which can be anything from getting fit to starting your own business or improving your relationships at work. My job as a life coach is to help you find the answers you already have within you by listening attentively and asking thoughtful questions. We'll record the session, and I'll send you a copy along with notes. The next week, we'll check in to see how you've been progressing, and you can choose to continue with the same goal or switch it up. Rest assured that our conversations are always confidential, and you're always in charge.
