• With prayerful guidance, your coach can help select a meaningful focus for the session if needed.

• You decide the direction of the session, even if it means asking, "Coach, please choose for me today.” Or, "Coach, what do you recommend?"

• Trust that your coach, led by faith, will guide you thoughtfully and skillfully through the process.

• Helping you navigate and lead you through the session is the responsibility of your Coach.

Well-Being Initial Basic Session Tips

• If you're in the 12-Weeks Well-Being initial basic program (where most individuals start), you might consider beginning each session with 'What is bothering me the most.' Yes, we will cover everything in the Well-Being module.

• To maximize your session time, come with an idea of what you'd like help with that day, if you are able.  Doing so will typically conserve 10-30 minutes of narrowing down what to process.

• If you have 2-3 things on your list, give each a number 0-10 with 10 being the max it bothers you.  This could help you decide which to address for your session. Or, the earliest memory of a negative event is a powerful option to get great results.

• Let me know that you have more than 1 issue and share your top 2 very briefly, like in less than 3-5 minutes. This allows to maximize the productivity and results of your session time. Once your 1st issue is resolved or is at a good stopping point, if there is time, the 2nd issue can be addressed. 1 issue will usually consume the entire session.

• However, know this, if you're having trouble coming up with something, I can usually poke around gently and help you find something fairly easily.

Well-Being Specialty Sessions

• If you're in the 12-Weeks Well-Being  Specialty  program, we'll lean more towards sticking closer to what's in those modules.

Length of Sessions

• A typical coaching session length is 55-60 minutes. Allow 5 minutes more following appointment to complete your Insights Form.

• Consultations are 30-40 minutes, up to 55 minutes dependent on Coach availability and your desire.

• Evaluations + Sessions are 80-90 minutes, or up to 1 hour and 45 minutes, depending on your need and Coach availability. Allow 5 minutes more following appointment to complete your Insights Form.

• Appointments after the Evaluation: If you find you need more time, if it seems just too short, share with your coach.  Appointments can be extended to '90-minute' or ‘2-Hour' sessions. Appropriate fees apply.

• 2-Hour Sessions - are like getting 3-5 sessions worth in 2 hours. Saving you time and expense. And the best thing, Getting Quicker Results!

Complete the Insights Form the same day as your session as per our Coaching Agreement. 

It takes only 5 minutes. 

It helps you more than you know and helps me help you better.
