 "Noraleen, to be honest, coming for personal life coaching was a very threatening risk for me. I needed safety, and complete confidentiality. I am amazed at how well you understood and quickly formed a fiesty alliance. I was able to let my defenses down and rapidly move forward in owning and managing life changes. What was once dread is now joy in the journey ~ Halleluja!" ~ SP

How can you
coach effectively over the phone instead of in person?
Coaching is often more effective over the phone than in person because
there are fewer distractions for either party and the client is more
likely to be more honest sooner because of the anonymity factor.
Coaching over the phone is the most convenient method of meeting.
But how can
the coach pick up on the visual clues such as body
language?
There are many more auditory clues than visual ones. A professional
coach is
trained to hear over 200 nuances.
Where do the
coach and client first focus their efforts?
Most coaches provide assessment tools to better understand the client's
life or business situation and their current needs. Often a client
already knows what they want to accomplish or resolve and the coaching
begins there.
How soon can
the client expect to see results?
Usually within a day or two. Their attitude will improve, or they'll
get working
on something they've been stuck with, or they'll make an
important change
and start feeling the benefits of coaching fairly
quickly. Over time, the
cumulative benefits can be life changing.
How is
coaching different than therapy?
A therapist is trained and licensed to work with diagnosable psychological
conditions. A coach is not. A coach and client typically focus
on what the client wants to accomplish personally or business-wise over
the next 6-12 months. Typically, an individual works with a
therapist to resolve something that is causing pain. It is not
unusual for a client to be working concurrently with a coach and a
therapist, each on different topics.
What are the
results of coaching?
More energized
More satisfaction in your life
Stronger connection with yourself, others & God
More focused on your goals; obtain faster results
Being in touch with and moving toward your dreams
Tapping into your potential
Having a greater impact on the world
