How does a coaching program work?

During one or two initial coaching sessions the coach and their client explore areas of greatest need and define specific life or career goals. Agreement is then reached on how many coaching sessions are needed and over what period of time the coaching will happen, plus what commitments the coach and client need to make to work together effectively.

Coaching sessions are usually from 50 minutes to two hours face-to-face, sometimes 30 minutes to one hour by telephone. Coaching can also involve email, on-line chat, fax or mail communication.

Coaching fees can vary depending on whether the service is career coaching, life coaching, corporate coaching, VIP or executive coaching, or business coaching. Coaching fees need to be discussed with the coach prior to engagement. Coaching fees are paid at the time the service is delivered.

Coaching can involve the use of handouts, questionnaires, and personal journals.
