Why Coaching?

Coaching Process

The Coaching Process

Clients hire a coach for one reason - a desire for change. But, in order for change to occur, a connection to who you really are must happen at your core being. Once connected, it is your core that will illuminate and guide you in making the changes you desire in your life.

What does The Core Illuminations Coaching Model offer?

Core Illuminations Coaching is about waking you up! It enables you to "see" those obstacles getting in the way of your dreams. It provides the space for you to stretch out and not only have an unconventional thought but also how to act on it. It encourages you to make conscious choices. Through it all, Core Illuminations Coaching has one ultimate goal: for you to live your life with purpose and passion.

Why do we get stuck?

  • Because we believe a lie about ourselves and never challenge it;

  • Because we go on "auto pilot" and ride an emotional rollercoaster instead of seeking a new path to face an old problem; and

  • Because the fear of success is greater than the dissapointment of mediocrity.

How can I help you surrender?

  • By creating a space where curiosity is the lens by which you view your life.

  • By having you discover and clearly define what's important to you - and honoring it.

  • By helping you focus your energy on "what you want" out of life instead of what you don't.

How Do You Get Started with Coaching?

Before our first coaching session, we’ll have a Discovery Session where we can share information about ourselves and “Design our Alliance” – that is, determine how best to work together. During the Discovery Session, we’ll cover the following (this list is not exhaustive):

  • More detail about Coaching

    • Four Coaching Cornerstones of The Co-Active Coaching Model from The Coaches Training Institute

    • Discuss Values Clarification and explain the Saboteur

    • Discuss confidentially and security

  • Design the Alliance

    • How do you learn best?

    • What motivates you?

    • How do you want me to work with you when you get slippery?

The Discovery Session will take about 1.5 to 2.0 hours as information is gathered and the Alliance Designed.

Once the Discovery Session is complete, we’ll set up our monthly calls or meetings and get started on your journey!

Now that we've touched on the Coaching Process, I want to share what Coaching will ask of you and what you can expect from me as your Coach.

Here is what Coaching will ask of you:

  • Be committed to the coaching sessions and taking action each week;

  • See every interaction as an opportunity to integrate and synthesize the Coaching Principles with your own thinking, speaking and actions; and

  • Be committed to living an extraordinary life!

You may expect me, as your Coach, to:

  • First and foremost be an objective listener;

  • Support your vision and goals and provide structure that will enable you to make conscious choices; and

  • Be honest and give you straight feedback. I will be curious and challenging but not confrontational.
