So, What Actually Happens in a Coaching Session?

By Coach Lorne McAlister

 

First of all, coaching conversations always happen in a safe, confidential setting. It’s your life, your stuff and only you get to spill the beans about it.

 

I’ll ask you some powerful questions that you won’t be able to “yes” and “no” your way around.

 

Your creativity and resourcefulness will inform you about what action needs to happen and what steps need to be taken and what activity needs to be brought to an abrupt halt.

 

I do a quick catch up on your life and then if there was an action item from the last coaching session I’ll ask…

….“So how did the assignment go?”

…. “What happened?” 

…. “What did you discover?” 

…. “What did you learn?” 

…. “How has what you’ve just done helped you to move forward the agenda in your life?”

 

Here’s the deal:

·        The sooner you do your tough stuff the sooner you gift yourself with that accomplished action.

·        The sooner you forgive, the sooner you will bless yourself with release from the pain and pressure of uncontrollable, often unexplainable hurt. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself.

·        The sooner you find out and smarten up, the sooner you will be freed up and powered up.

·        The sooner you accept the challenge of looking at your situation in another way the sooner you will discover those alternative actions and the optional attitudes.

 

I’ll stick my coaching sail into the wind that’s blowing your life and join you on your journey of discovery. 

 

I’ll help you see what’s really out there.

I’ll help you feel what’s really happening.

I’ll help you face what’s really going on.

I’ll help you acknowledge your reality and really deal with it.

 

Coaching isn’t for everyone.

Coaching might not even be for you.

Stuck, stalled, stupid and satisfied….. then forget about coaching.

Sidetracked, hijacked, good ‘n mad and ready to do something about it…. you are a candidate for coaching.

Coaching is for people who want to feel life to their fingertips and live life to their toe nails.

As your full life coach, I’ll feel with you. I’ll dream of possibilities and drill into actualities with you. I’ll help you move forward.

 

Get me on your life team.

You’ll set the agenda and I’ll dance with you, I’ll prance with you and I’ll advance with you!

Coaching is a lifelong relationship, in which a coach helps a client reach his or her God-given potential.
