Your journey to greater clarity and optimal outcomes begins with a thorough introduction, assessment, and goal-identification process. This is when we lay the foundation for the work ahead, determine appropriate session frequency, and get started.
STEP 1 INTRODUCTION
PHONE CALL
During our initial phone conversation, we will talk about our process and the importance of confidentiality.
The phone call is an opportunity for us to find out more about your coaching/mentoring goals and desired outcomes and for you to find out more about your coach’s background, coaching philosophy, and service offerings.
We will provide you with the Preliminary Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ). Upon completion and submission, we will contact you and schedule the initial complimentary meeting.
STEP 2 INITIAL FREE SESSION
(45 TO 60 MINUTES)
We will use your PAQ to discuss existing challenges, identify your primary stressors, discuss options for the next step, and determine how we will best work together.
We will present and discuss the fee structure.
STEP 3 THE JOURNEY BEGINS
(60 – 90 MINUTES)
We will send you a link to the VIM Confidential Assessment Questionnaire (CAQ) for completion.
After reviewing your (CAQ) assessment, we will contact you to answer any questions and schedule our first session.
This is our first session. We will review the CAQ with you in-depth and collaboratively create a course of action tailored to meet your individual needs and goals.
Introduce and briefly discuss the next assignment, schedule the next session, explore our next steps, and answer any questions.
STEP 4 STAYING THE COURSE
(60-90 MINUTES)
Discuss your current challenges, progress and reflections.
Review and examine your weekly VIM assignment.
Post session follow-up to confirm clarity.
STEP 5 CHECK-IN AND REVIEW
The Check-in and Review is a value-added service that we provide to you at no additional cost to ensure continued success on your journey.
Answer quick questions or emergency issues by phone or email in between your regularly scheduled coaching sessions.
Regularly, we will examine where you are in your journey and revisit your desired outcomes and goals.
We will discuss your progress in problem-solving, collaboratively identify patterns, and evaluate your energy and inner happiness levels.
