The coaching process is straight forward and important to understand.

  • Meet in person or on phone to determine fit. Is the situation one that the coach has competence to address, does the person(s) want to be coached, and are the parties comfortable with one another?
  • Define objectives, establish timeframe, set mutual expectations, price, measurement criteria.
  • Conduct interviews, assessments, and feedback to gain understanding of the individual and work context.
