FAQ
What is your coaching approach and philosophy? My philosophy is that if we want to facilitate changes externally we must see what’s going on internally. I do deep self-awareness coaching whether it is life coaching or executive leadership coaching.
What are your credentials? I hold Professional Coaching Certificate from Erickson Coaching International in Canada, approved by ICF (International Coaching Federation). I do also have counseling and training experience.
How long is the coaching engagement? The initial engagement runs anywhere from 1 to 3 months, depending on how many hours are taken per month. There is a minimum of 3 sessions. After an initial package, our work together can be ongoing or taken whenever desired. My style of coaching often brings powerful change and creates results very quickly. At the same time, many clients love the support and continued growth that ongoing coaching brings.
How long is each session? Normally the session runs between 40 to 60 minutes. The first session is usually longer that allows the client and the coach to establish trust and connection. Later, sessions may become shorter because the results can be achieved faster. I usually ask my clients if they have done enough work for today and would like to reflect on the insights on their own or they want to use the left minutes to explore the subject more.
How often do I need to take coaching sessions? Most clients choose 2 sessions per month, though some prefer to meet more often. It is up to you. For most packages there is an initial commitment to at least 3 sessions taken within 1 to 3 months, unless otherwise indicated. This commitment means that the change our work brings has a chance to evolve and set in.
Is coaching one-size-fits-all? No, absolutely not. The work we do together is custom-designed to fit your needs and goals. I work with you as a unique individual with unique needs and a unique experience of life.
Does a coach need have a similar experience – professionally or personally – that I do? No, absolutely not. Moreover, the similar experience may interfere the coaching process and the coach will need to make an extra effort to detach from it completely in order not to bring a personal perspective into the client’s agenda and work from a coach position, when a coach is absolutely neutral and has the only goal to support the client in self-discovery and his/her own solution-finding process.
Are there assignments given after each session? Yes, but you personally determine what it will be – what will keep you going in the right direction and will maximize the effectiveness of the work we’ve done together. Some clients prefer action-based assignments and some prefer more internal-oriented assignments that create a deeper personal awareness.
What about confidentiality? Private coaching is completely confidential. Confidentiality is a fundamental part of the agreement when working with any professional and certified coach. Nothing you say in coaching will be shared with anyone. The rare exceptions to this if your coach is ordered by a court of law to disclose information or if the client is intended to harm him/herself physically or someone else. In such cases the coach is obligated to inform the appropriate authority about this. In all other cases, the coach follows the International Coach Federation Confidentiality Form. You can download it here.
How much does the coaching cost? There is a coaching contract for a minimum of 3 sessions. Price depends on the length of the coaching agreement.
How do we meet: in person or online? I do both in person and online coaching.
How coaching is different from counseling? Coaching is always about facilitating changes in real life. While it may provide emotional relief and better clarity around an issue, it also and most importantly empowers people to make practical steps and therefore transform the life.
