Personal Coaching Overview Authentic No-Nonsense Coaching FAQ About Coaching Practices Coaching Packages & Prices Lifetime Support Program Coaching Service Guarantee Request Coaching Consultation Free Personal Coaching Overview Simply put...personal coaching is a one-on-one, professional relationship where you get the specific kind of support and solutions you need to create a new result - faster and easier than if attempted on your own, in a group or through a packaged program. The entire focus is on you, your life, your work, your goals, your dreams, your aspirations, your challenges and obstacles, and your success. Your coach is your personal consultant, mentor, collaborator, accountability partner, and friend. You will talk, laugh, plan, and create new results and a new future for you. It is the highest level of one-on-one self-discovery, guidance and support that we offer our clients and program participants. It is not limited to personal development. It can be much larger in scope as to meet the business and professional development needs of our clients as well. A complete personalized coaching program requires a great deal of time and energy from both the coach and the participant and, thus, availability in our traditional, in-depth personal coaching programs is limited. However, we do offer smaller packages and individual coaching services by the hour for those who wish to sample the coaching process or who wish to add one-on-one time with Randy Mitchell to another program offer. We will also customize personal coaching packages to accommodate the unique outcomes, time frames, location, businesses and other special requirements of our clients. Authentic No-Nonsense Coaching Technique Our personal coaching programs include an authentic, no-nonsense approach to self-discovery. Many of us our trapped in our stories of the past and we often use them as an excuse to stay the same. We are not discounting the affects that some of the painful events in our lives have had on us but the truth is, at some point, we have to move away from the story if we truly want to live a dream life. Our no-nonsense approach is filled with love and compassion while at the same time holding you accountable for what you say you want. Excuses are not accepted. Thus, if you are not willing to be in action towards what you say you want than this program is not for you. It is designed for the person or business professional that is ready to move past the nonsense and the stories in order to impact the world in a positive way. As part of our authentic, no-nonsense comprehensive coaching program, we require you to complete a CORE MAP® (CORE Multidimensional Awareness Profile). This awareness tool cuts months off the length of traditional coaching programs because it can zero in on some of your core issues within a matter of hours. This valuable tool gives both you and your coach the ability to see and know who you really are at the core - your authentic self. And, it provides critical information on where you may be living incongruently today - living against the grain of who you truly are - which is often a great source of pain and the first place to begin your journey to self-fulfillment. (For more information on the CORE MAP® process, visit our Programs page or the Core Dimensions site.) Your coach will then design a program specific to you and your desired outcomes. There will be specific expectations on your behalf, which can include your full participation in one or all of the following: one-on-one coaching sessions, reading assignments, mental exercises, written homework, visualization, daily journaling, brainstorming, affirmations, role-playing, language exercises, conference calls, listening to educational tapes/CDs and developing life/business plans, etc. Questions about Coaching Practices Q: Who will benefit from Coaching? A: We all can benefit from personal coaching whether we are looking for some short-term assistance with a particular issue or a long-term, more comprehensive, life-changing program, which touches all areas of our life. However, it is generally for those who are seeking a more significant change to their life in a shorter period of time and who are willing to go to a much deeper level of introspection than most. Q: Why should you consider being coached? A: Because coaching works! The coaching process is the only self-improvement process that directs itself to achieving RESULTS. It is the most effective, most efficient and least costly method of human improvement there is. Coaching does not look at what you did wrong or right or analyze why. You will not have to relive or defend past unpleasant events. Coaching moves you forward in your life. Coaching is like driving a car, where you and your coach work together at looking ahead and driving forward. Your coach concentrates all of his/her energies and skills to assist you to achieve your desired goals, and gives you 100% unconditional support, without judgment. Q: What can you expect to receive from Coaching? A: You can expect to discover your true authentic self and how to redesign your life so that you are living an authentic life - one that is congruent with your values and purpose. You will gain clarity on who you are, why you are here and what you want for your life. Most of us do not even realize that we are living out other peoples' dreams for us and not our own. This is generally the root cause of most of our pain or difficulties in life. Thus, it is only at this point that we can begin to create positive change in our life. You will hold a powerful new vision for your future. You will have developed a complete action plan for success. And, you will have learned how to take full responsibility for all the outcomes in your life. With all this newfound knowledge, you will begin to realize the life you always dreamed was possible and you will see magnificent shifts in your outlook on life, your personal and business relationships, your financial bottom line, your interpersonal skills, your self-esteem, your productivity, your professional success and your ability to inspire the best in others. Q: What will be asked of you during the coaching process? A: You will be asked to commit to the coaching process for a specific amount of time and to be fully present emotionally, physically and spiritually during your coaching sessions. There will be a Commitment Contract that both you and your coach will agree to and sign. You will be asked to be open-minded and explore the ideas presented by your coach and to provide your full participation in the process. It will be critically important that you are direct and forthcoming with information from the onset. You will also be expected to complete assignments on time including some daily assignments, such as, listening and/or reading motivational materials for a minimum of 30 minutes a day. You will also be expected to honor and protect your scheduled meeting times with your coach and to keep confidential any personal information shared by your coach during the coaching process. Q: What can you expect from your Coach? A: You can expect your coach to be dedicated to designing the best possible program for you - to meet your specific needs, desired outcomes and expectations. You will receive a truly customized program for your development and enrichment. Your coach will believe in you and be committed to assisting you in reaching beyond where you are today, helping you to take the blinders off and create your own destiny. Your coach will be the utmost professional and will honor the terms of your personal coaching contract including all scheduled meeting times. All personal information shared during the coaching process will be held in strict confidence and will not be disclosed without your expressed consent. Your coach will be focused on you and will continuously assess your progress to be certain he/she is meeting your goals for the program. Your coach will be open-minded and explore the ideas presented by you and will treat you with dignity and respect at all times. Your coach will be available to answer any questions and concerns you may have regarding your sessions, the materials covered in the sessions and/or your process of growth throughout the term of the coaching program. In addition, your coach will be available to you via e-mail and voice mail on an unlimited basis. Q: How much of your time is involved in Coaching? A: Coaching involves a great deal of time, energy and concentrated focus on both your part and your coach whether it is just a one-hour coaching session or a yearlong coaching program. However, most comprehensive coaching programs cover a three or six month period and initially involve approximately 7-10 hours of your time per week. Two to three of these hours are devoted to one-on-one time with your coach with the remaining hours used to complete your exercises and assignments on your own time. Q: Who will be your Coach? A: All coaching programs are designed and lead by Randy Mitchell. In some cases, a specially trained CORE MAP® facilitator will be consulted or will be invited to perform the CORE MAP® assessment consultation with you and your coach. Q: How much does Coaching cost? A: Personal Coaching programs vary in price due to length of time, amount of one-on-one time with coach and the scope of your desired outcomes. When considering a coaching program, you will be asked to complete an initial questionnaire, which will assist your coach in determining the best program for you. Standard fees range from $150 per hour to $5,000 for a full, comprehensive, six-month program. General program options and costs are outlined below under Coaching Packages & Prices. However, we recommend that you request a Free Coaching Consultation to discuss your specific needs and cost options. Payment plans are available. Q: What do you do next if you believe Coaching might be right for you? A: The next step would be to send us an e-mail requesting a Free "Get-Acquainted" Consultation and we will contact you to schedule a convenient time to talk. The initial consultation is informal and generally lasts about 30 minutes. It is an opportunity to get to know your potential coach and for your coach to get to know you and what you are looking for out of coaching. Q: What if you are not satisfied with the outcome of your coaching program? A: Our highest goal is to exceed your expectations wherever and whenever possible. Thus, we do not anticipate you will be dissatisfied with your program or your coach. However, if at the end of your program you are not completely satisfied with the results you received, then we will return your investment to you provided that you have fully satisfied the terms of your personal coaching commitment contract. It will be important to note that your commitment contract will require you to complete your assignments on time, honor your meeting schedule and times, make payments as promised, etc. because these items are critical to your success.
