How My Coaching Session Works

Coaching for a More Confident You

Have you ever felt like a part of you is holding you back? Maybe a fear or a feeling of not being enough has kept you from living the life you truly want. As a coach, I've seen firsthand how a little support can transform these obstacles into powerful strengths. I want to share with you how this process works, using a real-life example of someone I've helped.

Phase 1: The First Conversation 

 This is where it all begins. Think of it as a friendly chat over coffee, where we get to know each other. I listen to your story, your hopes, and what you've been struggling with. We'll talk about your goals and make sure we're a good fit to work together.

A real-life example: I once worked with a woman named Maria who was terrified of answering the phone. She worked in a call center, and every ring filled her with anxiety. In our first meeting, she told me how this fear affected not only her job but also her personal life. She couldn't even call her children's school without her heart pounding. Our goal became clear: to help her feel confident and calm when talking on the phone.

Phase 2: Finding Your True Goal 

 Sometimes, the thing we think is the problem is just a symptom of something deeper. I'll help you look beyond the surface to discover what's really going on. Through our conversation, we'll uncover the root of your struggles and set a goal that will create real, lasting change.

Maria's journey: As we talked, Maria realized her fear wasn't just about the phone; it was about a lack of confidence in her own voice. She felt like she couldn't assert herself, and this feeling spilled over into how she spoke to her clients and even her children. The real goal was no longer just to answer the phone, but to find her voice and speak with confidence and authority

Phase 3: Understanding Where You Are Today 

 To get where you're going, you need to know where you are now. We'll explore your current situation with open, non-judgmental questions. This helps us see the gap between your current reality and where you want to be.

Maria's journey: I asked Maria to describe a typical day at work and at home. She told me how she would often stutter or speak too softly on calls and how she would let her kids walk all over her because she was afraid to say "no." By looking at these moments, we could clearly see the impact her fear had on her life.

Phase 4: Making a Plan to Get There 

 This is the fun part! We'll brainstorm the best ways to close the gap between your current reality and your goal. We'll create a clear, step-by-step plan that feels manageable and exciting.

Maria's journey: We decided to use her job as a training ground. Her clients became her practice partners. We developed specific techniques she could use on calls, like taking a deep breath before answering and using power words to sound more assertive. At home, she practiced these same techniques when talking to her kids.

Phase 5: Putting It into Practice and Getting Support 

Now, it's your turn to try out the new tools and strategies we've discussed. I'll be here to support you every step of the way. We'll check in regularly to see what's working and what needs to be adjusted.

Maria's journey: Maria started putting the plan into action. In our follow-up sessions, she'd tell me about a call that went great or a time she successfully stood her ground with her children. When a call went wrong, we'd talk about it and figure out what to do differently next time. She began to see her client calls as opportunities, not threats.

Phase 6: Celebrating Your Success and Planning for the Future 

 Once you've reached your destination, we'll celebrate! Then, we'll create a plan to help you maintain your new, confident self. The goal is not just to fix a problem but to create a permanent, positive change in your life.

Maria's journey: Maria's transformation was incredible. Her voice became strong and clear on the phone, and she started getting promotions at work. At home, her children responded to her new, confident voice, and their relationship improved. Her once-crippling fear became one of her greatest strengths. She was no longer just answering the phone—she was confidently speaking up for herself and her family.
