How many sessions do you need with your coach?

I love the water and so that’s the analogy I use to explain this to my clients.

Test the waters:

If you have never worked with a coach before, don’t know how coaching even works, and are not sure as to why you are reaching out to a coach either, then its probably best to first test the waters.

Book only between 1-4 sessions so you’re able to try the product before committing to a year long purchase.

Usually, you will leave these sessions with a better understanding of why and when you’d then like to continue working with a coach with serious intention.

Training for a sprint:

If you have a specific, short-lived challenge to work on, this may be a good fit for you.

It would usually mean a commitment of working together for around a month.

For example, you specifically only want to work together on how to stop getting in your own way to start building a personal brand, or how to prepare to run a marathon.

So that’s all you will focus on during this month of working together.

Usually, if you’re happy with your results, you may then want to commit on other projects to work on once these sessions have lapsed.

Training for a marathon:

If you simply want to work with a coach to uplift your career/life in multiple ways, then this is the package for you. This makes sense when you have multiple goals you’d like to partner on, or one very large one.

You can typically commit to working together for 3 months, 6 months or even a year.

This is where you want a constant partner and sounding board for everything you’re doing. It also means if something unplanned suddenly comes up and you need to talk about it, you will always have someone to lean on.?It is a deeper transformational journey.

Jumping from the diving board:

Every once in a while, you have a time sensitive challenge or goal you need help with.

For example, I worked with a client who had to put in their papers within the next 2 weeks. And needed clarity on what at least the immediate next step would be before they did this. They also had a time crunch, so they had taken leave for the week to be able to be dedicated to only work on this during these days. Thus, we scheduled everyday sessions for 7 days.

This is required when you need to go deep, fast. It is more immersive but only recommended if something truly is that time sensitive.

If you’re still unsure of what is the right fit for you, you can always ask these questions during a chemistry call.
