How Does Co-Active
Coaching Work?
How Does Co-Active Coaching Work? We start with a foundation meeting (approximately 2 hours) during which we
After the foundation meeting we meet by phone, in person, or in a combination of the two, at regularly scheduled times. Coaching continues between sessions as you implement the actions you devise, incorporate the learning each new step brings, and further create with your coach in the next session. The consistency of working regularly with a co-active professional coach offers you a confidential platform to practice these new skills. Clients achieve their goals in record time because of their willingness to take calculated risks. In the regular coaching sessions the agenda is dictated by your wishes and needs – you are responsible for the agenda and your coach is responsible for the coaching!
How Much Does Co-Active Coaching Cost? We offer a complimentary (free) half-hour sample session to anyone interested in checking out both coaches and different coaching styles. There is no obligation to continue the coaching. Our fees are based on the frequency and range of coaching
you choose.
Who works with a coach? Executives, artists, athletes, business owners, entrepreneurs, professionals, visionaries, and anyone in transition will find working with a coach extremely helpful. We at The Coaching People work especially well with these types of clients:
What can you expect from your coach?
What does your coach expect from you?
What should you look for when choosing a coach? Chemistry. There must be good chemistry between you and your coach. It is also important for you to find a coach you can respect and trust and who has a track record that closely reflects what you are looking for in your own future.
Does Coaching work in the Corporate Environment? Smart businesses know the value of coaching. Manchester Inc. recently released the results of a study that quantifies the business impact of executive coaching. The study included 100 executives, mostly from Fortune 1000 companies. Companies that provided coaching to their executives realized improvements in productivity, quality, organizational strength, customer service, and shareholder value. They received fewer customer complaints, and were more likely to retain executives who had been coached. In addition, a company's investment in providing coaching to its executives realized an average return on investment of almost six times the cost of the coaching. Among the benefits to companies that provided coaching to executives were improvements in

What’s the Difference Between Coaching, Therapy and Consulting? There are many different kinds of therapy, consulting, as well as coaching. One fundamental difference is in the partnership. Coaches do not use their particular expertise to diagnose, direct or design solutions for their clients. Their expertise lies in the coaching process and the coaching relationship. A coach relates with clients as partners, and together they choose the focus, format, and desired outcomes for their work. Coaching has the freedom and flexibility to address a huge range of personal and professional topics, and focuses on the present and what the client wishes to do to move forward. Another difference is in the focus and expectations.
The successful coaching client is not particularly limited in their ability
to see different perspectives or take action. Coaching clients are seeking
higher performance, learning, enhancing quality of life. They are not
particularly seeking emotional healing or relief for psychological pain.
Neither are they particularly seeking specific expert advice, information
or solutions. In coaching there is trust that the client is the best expert
in their life for integrating their learning and actions. In fact, coaching
works well in conjunction with psychotherapy as well as consulting because
of its emphasis on integrating the being and doing of aspects of one’s
living.
Why is coaching becoming so popular? Coaching is becoming popular for several reasons:
Please, give me some context about coaching... A co-active coach does just what an athletic coach or music teacher does, only in a more complete and bigger way. A coach challenges you and takes the time to find out what winning in life means to you. A coach is your partner in living the life you know you can accomplish, personally and professionally. A coach is someone to hold you accountable for your life, to make sure you really do live up to your potential. No matter where you are in life, there is always a desire for more. More success, more money, closer relationships, a deeper feeling of meaning in life, etc. It is the nature of people to want to attain more, become more, be more, and we all struggle with how to get what we're looking for. Most people believe that "hard work and doing it on your own" are the keys to finding the life, success, money, or happiness that they seek. They believe that a price must be paid to attain what they want, and often that price is poor health, not having enough time to enjoy life, strained family relationships or lessened productivity. The saddest part is that, even though this effort may result in more of something, it is often not the something you had in mind, and you are back where you started, or worse, further from your real intentions. Athletes and performers know about this trap. They know they need someone else, a trained someone else to help them set goals, discover real needs, and work effectively toward ultimate goals of excellence. So, they are willing to hire a coach or a teacher. No serious athlete or musician would expect to progress very far without one.
How do I work with a Co-Active coach? After your complementary sample session, there is no obligation to continue the coaching. If you choose to continue, our fees are based on the level of coaching you choose that’s right for your situation so that you receive incredible value for your money. We begin with a two hour foundation session where we identify what your focus and our alliance will be for the contracted period (minimum three months) you choose to move on your goals. Most of our coaching is done on the phone, but face-to-face sessions are available (check with us for details). Most of the “work” occurs in between sessions, in your life; in-between contact is designed with each client as needed to keep your movement focused. We offer generous group rates to companies who have multiple executives who want to be coached.
