The Coaching Process

For those who know what they want and are ready to roll up their sleeves, the Overall Coaching Process goes like this:

  • Kickoff Meeting
  • Start Up (Informal Assessment and Getting to Know You)
  • Goal-Setting (Integrated with Executive Skill Development)
  • Set Up Goal Measurement (Daily and Weekly)
  • Action (Set Up Systems, Learn Strategies, and Work Toward Your Goal)
  • Maintain and Adjust Your Goal, Supports and Strategies
  • Fade Coaching (When You Have Met Your Goal)

For those who need more clarity, the Overall Coaching Process goes like this:

  • Kickoff meeting
  • Start up (Informal Assessment and Getting to Know You)
  • Narrowing down areas to focus on
  • Identifying and clarifying one area that feels important right now and might help you move forward.
  • Envisioning what this would look like if you could attain this goal.
  • Working toward it using your strengths, systems, and strategies (that work for your brain).
  • Adjust your journey as needed and get back on track (with support) when things go sideways.
  • Fade coaching support as the strategies and structures become embedded (as routines or habits).

Coaching Sessions Look Like This:

  1. Get ready
  2. Temperature check
  3. Review the week. How did it go? (Successes and Challenges following the plan)
  4. Executive skills: Which skills did you work on? Which strategies were effective?
  5. Plan for the week. Look ahead and discuss possible upcoming barriers and solutions.
  6. Decide on actions for the week.
  7. Set next meeting date and check-in(s).
