How it works
Discovery session
The first step is to set up a free discovery session where we can meet and see if we're a good fit. This is a good time to ask questions and get a sense for my style and what coaching can offer. It's also a time for me to get to know what you're looking for and if this coaching partnership will be fruitful. Afterwards, if you'd like to move forward with a coaching partnership, we'll set up an initial intake session where we'll get clear on your goals.
A coaching "engagement" is a process. Creating goals, changing patterns, and making change does take time. We can plan session by session, but generally we'll schedule for a 5-10 session package.
What does type a typical session look like ?
Coaching is collaborative, non-directive and client-driven. At the beginning of the session you will choose a focus for our time together. From here, we'll work to identify a meaningful goal that aligns with the life you want to be living. We'll collaborate to brainstorm strategies and action steps to achieve that goal, considering your personal strengths and the possible obstacles that might get in the way. I'll be your accountability partner through the coaching process by providing support and helping you access your own inner strengths and insight. Periodic check-ins via texts may be part of the coaching partnership, depending on each specific situation.
We can meet in three different ways
-
Video conferencing - this is handy for those who don't live near me (Bend, Oregon), those with tight schedules, or for those who feel more comfortable meeting virtually
-
In person at a cafe or other public place - if you like a more casual, relaxed environment, this might work for you.
-
Walk-and -talk sessions - If you're like me and you like to move, we can choose from several short walks in the Bend area.
Investment
Coaching sessions are $100 per hour, and $50 per half hour. A walk-and-talk session may be a good fit for some clients, in which case a 30-minute session may be adequate.
Confidentiality
Everything in our coaching session will be kept confidential. I will only share information with parents/guardians or authorities if there is risk of harm to self or others.
Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.
