The start of your coaching programme usually is the (free) intake session. The purpose of this 30-minutes conversation is to help us both establish what you want and whether coaching is the right solution for you. Is this the case then you'll choose a suitable coaching programme or we'll tailor a programme especially for you. A coaching programme should have a minimum duration of 3 months or 12 sessions.

Structure

The weekly or fortnightly sessions offer you a great support structure. The coaching sessions take up 45 minutes each and allow for intensive conversation. Included in your coaching programme are one or more (depending on the length of the programme of your choice) reflection sessions via email. This provides you with the opportunity to reflect on your goals, your progress and your programme in general. You can take a step back and view your progress from a different perspective.

To get the most out of the sessions, and to let you reflect on the past week and your accomplishments, you'll be asked to prepare every session beforehand.

Interaction

All coaching session are being held via telephone. This is convenient for both parties, as there won't be any travel involved to and from the coaching sessions. Phone coaching is quite common in the coaching world, coaches all over the world deliver their coaching services by phone. It is extremely powerful and forces you to focus totally on the conversation. You could use your landline for the sessions, but special phone cards and internet software like Skype work fine too - and are very friendly for your wallet!  Sessions in person are an option too, if you reside in the Wellington area in New Zealand.

Other technologies that are being used are email (for interaction in between coaching sessions), a webbased client management systeem, allowing you to prepare your coaching sessions, to (re)schedule appointments in the online agenda, to update your personal details and to process payments. A bridgeline for conference calls is available to facilitate real-time coaching with more than two people, when required.
