INDIVIDUAL COACHING
What? You don’t have a coach yet? Why not? In the workplace,
coaching used to be reserved for people with some sort of
performance issue. Today, it’s for anyone who is serious about
self-development and wants more out of life.
Can you honestly say that you are living a fulfilling life?
Do you know who you want to be, and you live it on a daily basis? Do
you accept yourself 100%? Are you aware of the way you sabotage
living the life of your dreams and work through it effectively every
time? Can you stick with the new behaviors you implement to improve
yourself?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you most
likely do not need coaching. If you are like most people and
answered no to at least one question, you might want to consider
inviting the support of a coach into your life. A coach will
champion your cause and challenge you at the same time. It is one of
the best things you can do for yourself.
I work with individuals from age 30 to 70, who want more out of
life and are willing to put in some effort to achieve it. My
clients tend to be educated professionals. They see the benefits of
getting in touch with their dreams and aspirations, as well as
working with the internal energies that hold them back.
You are a good candidate for Individual Coaching if any of these are
true:
•
You’re ready to create more for yourself and make your
dreams/goals/aspirations really happen
•
You’d benefit from a someone in your corner providing you with
support, accountability and challenge
•
You’re tired of not making progress
•
You’d like to understand yourself on a deeper level
•
You’d like to get more out of your relationships
•
You’re interested in a career change
•
You’re interested in the Enneagram
•
You’re a CTI certification student for a CPCC
With Individual Coaching, we use the 4 A’s of Personal
Development Model.
It is profoundly simple and may describe the way any kind of growth
happens.
1.
Awareness
– Catching yourself in the act
Before making any change, we need to be aware of how we are now. We
use the Enneagram to help you understand your patterns of thinking,
feeling, and behaving. We also use some self-assessment tools and
other exercises to help us both understand who you are today and
your aspirations for the future. As we work together, your
self-awareness will expand and deepen, creating greater
opportunities for growth.
2.
Acceptance
– Whatever we resist persists
You are perfect just the way you are AND there is room for
improvement! Do you believe it? It isn’t as easy as it sounds. For
the next step to be meaningful, it’s imperative that you develop the
capacity to accept yourself for who you are right now. We’ll work
through this together.
3.
Action
– Moving toward your future self
What is the most audacious thing you could do today in support of
being the person you want to be? What is something small and simple?
Will you do it? What would you need to do to say yes? Action can be
anything that moves you forward (and sometimes the right action is
to be still.)
4. Adherence – Making changes last
Once is great but not enough. Twice is better but still not enough.
You want consistency for a fulfilling life! The little things, done
consistently, make the biggest impact. Choose your perspectives,
honor your emotions, and take positive action for
yourself…consistently!
Individual Coaching Format and Results
Individual Coaching sessions are held on the phone 1 to 4 times
per month from 30 to 60 minutes per session. You set the topic
for the call, and we’ll explore it together.
Coaching is like a dance with many options at any given moment
for how we look at your topic. We will co-design how we do this
together, both up front and in the moment. We’ll look at the
perspectives you are holding, how to get on and stay on your path of
fulfillment, the emotion behind the topic, and how your Enneagram
type is impacting the situation.
You’ll see the benefits immediately. You’ll have a greater
connection to your purpose, you’ll understand yourself at a deeper
level, and you’ll move forward with your agenda. Sometimes the
benefits are hard to put into words, but you’ll feel them. And,
you’ll be able to see big changes in hindsight, as you move away
from your starting point. Following is an overview of the results
you can expect.
•
Deeper self-awareness
– We’ll explore how your Enneagram type shows up in your life; both
positively and negatively. We’ll uncover your personal type-related
values, paradigms, motivations, goals, visions, gifts, and
challenges.
•
Customized action plans
– Long term strategies, as well as important actions to take the
next week to deepen your learning and move your agenda forward.
•
Personal integration
– Taking new thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and making them a
part of who you are.
•
Personal alignment
– Gain a greater sense of being on the path of your personal vision
in your actions, thoughts, and emotional experience.
•
More fulfilling relationships
– As you learn about yourself, you’ll also be learning about the
motivations of others and how to connect in an authentic way,
professionally and personally.
Getting Started
We’ll start strong with a rigorous Discovery Session including an
Enneagram Type Exploration
Interview. You’ll start to determine your type. We will go
through a number of exercises to help us both understand who you are
today. Next, we’ll look at the goals you have for our coaching.
Then, we’ll begin to design our alliance on how we’ll work together.
Complimentary Sample Coaching Session
The best way to know if we’d work well together is for you to
experience my coaching first hand. A sample session will allow
you to get a feel for my style, while addressing a real-life issue.
This will allow us to assess if we’d like to work together.
Because development takes time, I require at least a 6 month
commitment. Coaching is for people who are ready for a new phase
of development. Are you? To schedule a free half-hour exploratory
session, please complete the request form on the
Contact Us page, and I’ll get
back to you by email to confirm the meeting.
I look forward to speaking with you soon!
Warm regards,
Matt
