What happens in life coaching sessions?
"Coaching is a professional partnership in which we work together to clarify areas that you would like to improve and in which you would like to work toward achieving your desired outcomes." - Life Purpose Institute
Life Coaching sessions are designed to carefully guide clients through their thoughts, feelings, and circumstances in a way that encourages progress session by session. The life coach is there to facilitate the session, not control the session. What is coached or what the outcomes should be of each session is determined by the client. Life coaches typically will not give advice however will use powerful questioning, coaching techniques, skills and processes to support their client's efforts.
What happens in consultations?
Consultations presents an opportunity for both the client and coach to collaborate on ways the client can achieve their desired goals/outcomes. Instead of just guiding the session, the coach may interject thoughts, opinions, and ideas from their own professional background or expertise that will have the best chance of aiding the client in moving forward. Consultations are advice-driven and can be offered during a life coaching session if it is in an area of expertise for the life coach and there is no other way to assist the client in moving forward towards their desired outcome. Typically, consultations are separate from life coaching sessions here at The Narrow Gate, LLC.
How are these services selected?
Before life coaching or consultations are established, the life coach and client will determine in the life coaching complimentary session if there is a need. If so, the life coach will assist the client with identifying which services may work for achieving the client's goals. If both the coach and potential client agree to move forward together in a coach-client agreement, life coaching and/or consultation sessions will begin.
