WHAT IS COACHING?

The structure of coaching is through safe, confidential sessions while working side-by-side as thought partners. The coach asks questions that unshackle self-discovery, key into personal development, and unlock intentional application. The coaching experience is initially formulated by the client’s identification of:

  • heart + head + instincts = behavioral & emotional change

HOW DOES THE COACHING PROCESS WITH RACHEL WORK?

After receiving a 15 minute complimentary KEY coaching session, should you decide to sign up for my coaching expertise, you will receive 8 customized coaching sessions via telephone.

SESSION ONE:  You and I will spend 50 minutes together to explore and discuss your noteworthy areas of focus, and why it holds importance for you.  This discussion will provide clarity for your desired path of progress.

BETWEEN SESSIONS ONE AND TWO:  You have the opportunity to take an assessment which evaluates your current strengths, personality traits, perspectives, feelings, and actions that influence your life. I will suggest the appropriate assessment based on your areas of focus and stated goals.

SESSION TWO: You and I will spend 80 minutes pinpointing specific goals and intentions, discover current beliefs and behaviors, develop new ways of thinking to get mentally unstuck, and unpack the assessment results to enhance your chosen goals and objectives.  If you choose to refrain from taking an assessment, the session will be the standard 50 minute time frame.

SESSIONS THREE THRU EIGHT: Each of the 6 remaining 50 minute bi-weekly sessions will begin with you determining the primary focus and main objective/goal to be discussed.  This allows for fruitful coaching experiences that expand and deepen your growth opportunities, and provide tangible accomplishments to celebrate! 

AFTER SESSION EIGHT: You get to choose your next steps.  You and I can assess the continuation and frequency of your customized sessions, or wrap things up as you embark on your individual growth journey with me cheering you on!

PLEASE NOTE: Half compensation is paid prior to the first coaching session, and the remaining balance is paid in full prior to the final four sessions. All charges are non-refundable. If you choose to cancel (in writing) for any reason, all remaining compensation will go directly to the Wounded Warrior Project or a charity of The Key Academy’s choosing.
