How does coaching work? Coaching is the process by which a coach and a client set aside time to have interactive conversations, which are designed to help the client dramatically and permanently improve the quality of the clients life. These conversations are set in an environment that are safe and secure. The coach is not there to judge the client or tell the client how to live his or her life. These conversations can be one on one or in a group setting, either on the phone or in person. How much does coaching cost? Hiring a life coach is one of the best investments you will ever make. It is like a carpenter buying a new tool and learning how to use it. Most coaches offer monthly rates or offer programs. New coaches usually charge around $60 to $75 an hour, while experienced coaches charge from $150 to $500 an hour. I charge around $100 an hour for my coaching services. How is coaching different than therapy? Therapy is designed to treat people with mental illnesses. Coaching is designed to help people who want to feel better and live a better life. Therapy looks into your childhood for a mental disorder and treats it accordingly. Coaches look to your future to help you design a better life. How long do usually work with a coach? Most coaches say that you can work with them as long as you receive benefit, but i like to start off working weekly with my clients for 12 weeks, ( 90 days) and then see how that is working for the client. I have had clients only book one appointment and i have had clients work with me for a year. What topics can we discuss? Most coaches have specialties, although most coaches are trained to work in all areas of your life. I like to discuss whatever is on your mind, although i "specialize" in relationships and small business. How can I find out more about Life Coaching? Visit The Coaching Process for more information.
