How do coaching calls work?
We offer individual coaching sessions as well as long-term coaching engagements over multiple sessions, depending on your individual needs! Live coaching is accompanied by offline preparation and follow up. Initial coaching calls usually take place with Alexis Banks, Associate Director of Learning and Operations, who oversees coaching at Feedback Labs. During your first coaching call, our goal is to:
learn about your organization, community, and feedback goals and challenges;
offer immediate assistance in response to your most pressing questions; and
work together to determine if additional coaching sessions and ongoing support would be beneficial.
Depending on your coaching needs, Alexis may refer you to another coach on our team with a relevant skillset, background, or regional or sector focus for follow up conversations.
