Exploring Coaching with Sai
The discovery call establishes my background and my leadership coaching methods. I understand about the client’s background and the challenges they are facing. There are discussions about their intended expectations from coaching, areas of growth they seek, and the outcomes they wish to design for themselves. Once all these are established, we have a coaching contract and the sessions begin.
The initial few sessions are spent setting clear goals and understanding the client’s personal background and personality. Leaders find their personal unlock journey to be unraveling. We focus on uncovering patterns that affect behaviors, emotions, limiting beliefs, etc. Opening up on issues & bringing out awareness of the leaders’ inner thought processes is an integral step. Awareness leads to choice, which creates a clear commitment to change from the client. Sometimes there is reading provided and small action contracts made so they begin applying the learning from coaching right away.
A midway review happens to exchange assessments about changes made & sometimes to set more ambitious goals. At times life and career changes require both coach and client to pivot with a new plan.
Transformative coaching takes insights into action. The coaching journey ends with assessing how far the coachee has achieved their promises, celebrating successes, and a plan for sustaining and supporting themselves ahead is made.
