The relationship represents a designed alliance between client and coach where each agrees to the processes and tools to be used in the interactions creating a context within which the coaching can take root and grow. It begins with an intake session where the coach answers all the questions of the client and an agreement on expectations and approaches is reached. From there the coaching begins and it is based solely on the agenda oft eh client and the areas of focus that hey wish to address.
Through the coaching relationship, the client gets confidential one-on-one attention focusing only on them. It allows the client plenty of opportunities to test drive and refine the new skills until they become habit. It provides a consistent long term development that gets embedded and become part of the client’s routine. The coach can also use powerful questions and curiosity to expand the client’s thought processes and uncover alternate perspectives not previously accessed by the client.
The coach will challenge the client out of the business as usual state and help to insure that the client sees the full picture and not just what they choose to see. This growth in self awareness aids the client to recognize traits and blind spots that have been repeating themselves and how to move beyond the limits that have been created. The coaching relationship also creates the environment where an objective non-judgmental person works with the client to help make assessments, set developmental plan and to hold the client accountable from day one for acting on the plans.
The fluid nature of coaching also allows for emerging issues to be brought to the table and addressed in a timely manner allows in the client to put their learning into effect right away on a just-in-time basis and then discuss the impact of the learning in the very next session for feedback and refinement.
Most coaching relationships last between 6 – 9 months depending on the issues and the goals of the client with a two hour initial session where the coach and client design the relationship that they wish and identify the goals of the client for the remainder of the process.
After that the coach and client will work together between 2-3 hours per month. The sessions can be in person or by phone given the desires of the parties and the best use of time for all involved.
Over 60 % of all executive coaching is done over the phone providing greater flexibility for the needs of the client.
