What is Success coaching?

 The Success Coaching process is the interaction with a professional where the focus is completely on YOU!  Success Coaches are equal partners who assist you to improve and grow as a person as the means to achieve your goals.  Life coaches assist you to become the World's Leading Expert on YOU!  Coaches also assist you to execute the actions necessary to achieve your goals.  MORE!!!

How does life coaching work?

You and I will develop an ongoing partnership, based upon trust. We will focus our full energy and attention on you and the achievement of your goals. I will become the totally objective, nonjudgmental, supportive mirror into whom you really are and what you really want to do. I will provide life options, new perspectives, encouragement, and concentrated attention to give you the insight, and confidence to take life-improving actions towards your goals. I will assist you to identify your self-imposed obstacles and further assist you to overcome them to move forward towards your goals.

Is Phone Coaching more or less effective than
In-Person Coaching?

There are really several benefits to each type of coaching situation.  Phone coaching doesn't require you to commute to my office, wasting your gas and time.  You will also have the benefit of having all of your resources readily available to you in your work or home environment.  This allows you to find any information or tools immediately rather than finding them later.  Being in your known environment helps you envision your progress in your real world as opposed to creating a dream in a foreign place and trying to transfer that into your real life.

In-person coaching on the other hand allows for a much more intimate relationship.  The fact of the matter is that it is much easier to gain a trusting rapport if we are seated across from each other.  I can get a much better read on you by your body language and facial expressions.  It is much easier to concentrate when you combine the visual with the audio, something the phone doesn't offer.  It is also easier to gauge the professionalism of the coach you are working with to help you decide if I am the coach for you.

So, to answer the question, both coaching philosophies carry their share of benefits.  Which is best for you, I don't know.  But if you are having trouble deciding, than perhaps a compromise id in order; web-cam coaching!

What is Web-Cam Coaching?

Web-Cam Coaching is taking the best of phone coaching and combining this with a visual relationship.  Granted the camera is not the same as sitting across from someone, but it does add to the experience.  If nothing else, it proves that I am not sitting around in my pajamas watching a soap opera and am actually consciously involved in our work together.  It also allows me to gauge how our time is progressing though out the session.  It allows us to show us things without having to describe them to each other.  As far as I can tell, it is very nearly as effective as in-person coaching, and exponentially more convenient and efficient.

How do I know if I am ready to be coached?

You have total control over your degree of readiness to reap the full rewards from coaching. You will determine the degree of your readiness when you positively answer the following questions:

1. How committed are you to achieving your goal(s)?
2. Do you have at least one Coachable Goal that is best achieved through life coaching?
3. Are you prepared to focus 100% on you?
4. Are you open to new ideas, concepts, perspectives and insights from others?
5. Are you willing to invest in a high level of self-care?
6. Are you willing to invest time and energy into your growth and development?  

Why is it vital that I have at least one coachable goal?

The reason you hire a coach in the first place is to achieve your Coachable Goals.  You must have at least one goal (coachable goal) that is best achieved through coaching, to benefit from coaching.  A "coachable goal" is a future place you want to be as a person that requires you to grow or improve as a person to reach it.  Coachable goals always involve moving forward in your life rather than overcoming past events.

 What are some examples of coachable goals?
 
 Discover and obtain your "Ideal Income Position",
Create a new, more fulfilling life.
Find a purpose in life.
Become more comfortable in your new lifestyle.
Learn to cope with my loss effectively.
and much much more.

Its about time you had someone focus Entirely on YOU!

How do I know if True Vision Coaching is the best option for me?

We don't.  That's is why we have an introductory session called an Intake.  In this session we will gather enough information about each other to see if our time will be productive.  You will also get a chance to witness how my approach and personality will work for you.  You will then get the chance to decide for yourself whether or not I am best suited for your purpose.  I will also be analyzing whether or not I am the best fit for you or if I will need to point you in the direction of a different professional that is more suited to your needs and circumstances.

How do I get started?

It' begins with an initial contact by you either through E-mail or by phone.  We will then set up what's called an Intake where we begin the preliminary coaching process.  We will set the stage for our time together and get a clear idea of how we will move forward.

What do I have to invest for a Success Coach?

The billing cycle works on a monthly basis determined by our initial consultation date.  The base rate for Success Coaching is $242 per Month (4 sessions).  Payment for each month is expected the week before our month starts.  Since the first initial visit is free, payment is made that day for the first month beginning the following week.  Payment can be made by credit/ debit card, personal or business check or cash.

If you are serious about putting a coaching structure in your life, there is a discount for pre-paying for 3 or 5 months in advance.  There is an advantage to a 3 month investment because it gives you an extra session (13 total sessions) for a discounted investment of $625.   A 5 month investment gives you an additional discount and one more additional session (22 total sessions) for just $975. 

Many clients after several months feel that they have established momentum and would like to reduce the frequency of coaching sessions per month.  This is very common.  At this point we will work out a specialized arrangement to best fit your needs.

Why is Success Coaching worth so much more than you pay?

The value of the goals you achieve will greatly exceed what you pay for coaching. You set your coaching goals and you will surely set goals that are the most valuable and important to you. In fact, coaching clients have found that the value of the goals they achieve through coaching are invaluable.

There are also other, more hidden benefits of coaching that are frequently worth more than the value of the goals achieved. The benefits from improving as a person to achieve your coaching goals are frequently priceless. Getting your ideal income position (a very common coaching goal), will frequently entail reducing or eliminating your life stresses, improving your attitude about life, improving your relationships with others, etc.

 How long should one expect the coaching process to last?

Normally, you can expect to achieve your coaching goals within 4 to 6 months, when you connect with your true ideal coach. (One cycle normally takes about one month to complete) We have found that it takes almost twice that time if you are not matched with your ideal coach. However, the more accurate length of time will depend a lot on you. How fast you take to coaching, how quickly you take the actions you and your coach discover to be necessary to achieve your goals, and the nature of your goals will impact how long coaching will take to achieve your goals.

 How will I know when it is time to stop coaching?

You will want to stop coaching when you have achieved your coaching goals.  However, many people continue the coaching process to achieve new coaching goals, or to continue a reminder or maintenance program.  If at some time down the road you feel like you are not getting the proper value for our time together, it may be best to stop or to take a short break from our relationship.  It is not my goal to become your crutch.  Rather it is my goal to help you gain a stronger sense of self allowing you to go forth with momentum and power.

 Why haven't I heard more about Success Coaching?

Success coaching is not as well known as it should be because it is such a private and confidential process. Clients rightfully receive all of the rewards and bask in all of the glory from achieving their coaching goals. It is neither the place nor the purpose of a coach to be acknowledged. In fact, all information gathered during the coaching process is completely private and considered privileged information, much like that of a doctor or psychiatrist.  This makes me your Secret Weapon.
