How do coaching sessions work?
Many of you have no idea what the process looks like and how questions help you figure things out. I want to tell you a little about how interaction with me works.

First, we meet for a free introductory session (30 min.) - we discuss the request, expectations for the process and the result. I explain how it works and answer your questions.
• If we are a good fit and you are ready to move forward, we agree on a convenient time and number of sessions (they are offered in packages: 4 and 8).

1️⃣The first working session (60 min.) is the setup session. During it, we:

• break down the request,
• determine its importance in the context of your life,
• form a goal for the coaching work,
• determine focus areas for the following sessions - steps that are important to take to achieve the goal.
➡️This is the only session where the goal is predetermined.

2️⃣Working sessions take place in a dialogue format, where I mainly ask questions and you answer them. In 60 minutes we:

• determine the goal you want to achieve by the end of the session
• discuss the importance of this topic in the context of the overall request
• explore how things are now, what is already there, what is missing, what can help, etc.
• finish with a check-in: whether we managed to get closer to the goal of the overall request during the session, what new things you learned about yourself, what was useful, and other questions that help positively reinforce the result.
➡️The dialogue between coach and client helps broaden the framework of thinking, look at the situation from a different perspective, find within yourself what gives energy or, conversely, what stops you, understand about yourself what you couldn't see on your own. Each session moves you one step closer to the goal that the client sets for the coaching work.

3️⃣The final session is held by agreement to:

✔️discuss the result, consolidate the dynamics.
✔️recall your qualities and new knowledge about yourself that helped you move toward the goal
✔️identify remaining questions and the need to finish/continue the work.
