A basic overview of Life Coaching Sessions
During your sessions with your Life Coach you will doubtless discuss positive and negative motivation and for many, the fear of failure is one of the main over-riding factors that we all need to overcome.
When considering what your Life Coaching sessions will be like, it is worthwhile remembering that these are your sessions and therefore both you and your Life Coach have a responsibility to make them upbeat and constructive.
Sessions are always conducted on a one-to-one basis and can take place either face to face or over the telephone. Face to face sessions can take place at either your premises or at those of the Coach, although many Life Coaches believe it to be more beneficial for the client to be away from their own environment. This enables both parties to take a more objective attitude and prevents the client from being distracted by their regular day to day responsibilities – Remember, this is your time, so keep it special!
It isn’t unusual to find that Life Coaches work from a home office as the informal atmosphere can be conducive to creating a more relaxed environment, but wherever your sessions take place you should be looking for a quiet, private location where you can talk to your Coach in total confidence.
Engaging a Life Coach is something that many people consider in order to address a specific aspect of their life which may be giving you cause for concern, although the title ‘Life Coach’ should give you a clue as to the scope for discussion during your sessions.
Typically Life Coaches work with every aspect of their clients ‘Big Picture’ taking into consideration:
- The personal health and wellbeing of the client
- The client’s career or business commitments
- A clients relationships, both at home and otherwise
- A client’s financial situation
- A client’s personal development aspirations
- A client’s physical domestic and working environment
- A client’s Goals and Values
- A client’s personal interests, hobbies, fun and recreation
Please remember, engaging a Life Coach will have a profound and uplifting influence on how you view and live your life and in order to do so, your chosen coach will want to work with every aspect of you and the decisions that you have made to date. Remember also that your sessions will be remain private and confidential and that your Coach will always respect your confidence with integrity and professionalism.
What format will my sessions take?
The format for Life Coaching sessions should be agreed with your Coach before you engage them and it is worthwhile remembering that you need not always have a face-to-face session to keep your personal development on track.
As many of us work extended and unsociable hours these days, and as increasingly more of us complete a sizeable commute to and from our place of work each day, formal face to face sessions may not always be possible or practical. Instead, many coaches use a
How much will sessions cost?
This is one of the most commonly asked questions in Life Coaching and unfortunately there is no straight answer! Regional variations combined with the maturity of each coaching consultancy mean that individual sessions can vary greatly in price.
Similarly, the nature of your coaching will also have a bearing on this as some Coaches offer Executive or Corporate Coaching to their clients as well as Life Coaching. In addition, the very nature of each session is another variable, with many coaches utilising a combination of face-to-face meetings complimented with scheduled telephone sessions and it is not unusual for coaching packages to be made available to clients providing for an agreed number of sessions within a specified timescale.
